(AU magazine, May 2009)
If you know hip-hip and avante-rock, you'll know Guillermo Scott Herren, aka Prefuse 73. A producer and artist, here he has gifted his fifth studio album under that moniker, a 29-track sonic behemoth with nothing like a defining characteristic. There's a lot of info about the recording techniques Herren has utilised here, but beyond the yawnsome tech speak, it's all sounding really interesting. 'Parachute Parador' boasts a delicious drum machine pound, while 'Simple Loop Choir' is awash with vocoder magic, all sweeping sonic mass and confusion. It's true, Prefuse 73 is from a weird world, but it's truly fascinating too.
