Check Your Head Beastie Boys $24.99
180 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - 2 LPs Sealed
Some albums define an era, a place, a certain time in one's life. The Beastie Boys Check Your Head practically defined the summer of 1992 for those who were wary of the mainstreaming of rap and the insurgency of grunge. It was here that MCA, Adrock and Mike D. created a musical montage that defied genre, one with the swagger of punk and the rootsy earthiness of early-'70s soul-jazz, all layered with a hip-hop consciousness. Lo-fi, garagy, guitar-riff-loaded tracks like "Pass Da Mic" and "Gratitude" made it clear that the Beasties could be taken as serious musical forces, even innovators. Yet they still brilliantly tempered the proceedings with romps like "Professor Booty" and "Funky Boss." One of the best albums of the '90's, Check Your Head was a turning point for the band and the genesis of a new musical hybrid. Reissued here on Limited Edition Double 180g Vinyl.

Alias is the humble and once unsung, seminal iron man of anticon-- an avenger of the producer/rapper type, whose music sounds his own at the turn of every instant. Former Live Poet and sole's oldest partner in rhyme, alias left Portland, Maine, to shed skin for his California wingspan. Composing music for his deepest shades, he drops his anchor as an irrefutable jack of all trades.
Part Brian Eno and part Kraftwerk, muted is akin to Boards of Canada or early Aphex Twin while maintaining some of the boom bap roots of hiphop. alias uses muted to explore (and at times parody) the "boundaries" between what is considered hiphop and what is considered electronica. Tracks exaggerate and underline these distinctions, but the approaches are so closely fused, it's not clear where one begins and the other ends.
Sonically, muted is a departure from early, sample-heavy, loop-based alias productions, instead relying more on his multi-instrumental talents on guitar and keyboard. The album's soundscapes are driven by chopped drums and laden with washy keyboards, eerie guitar chords, gritty fuzz and droney synths. muted demonstrates alias's compositional talent and his flexibility. He sounds equally at home providing the melancholy backing for Markus Acher's (The Notwist) plaintive, crooning on "unseen sights," as he does supporting the staccato raps of the pedestrian (anticon) on "the physical voice." The result is a moody, intimate and, at times, dark record that is both rainy-day contemplative and rhythmically menacing, all the while maintaining its cohesiveness.
* Producer behind most of sole's selling live water, "plutonium," and "bottle of humans," and the Sage Francis favorite "Message Sent"
* The instrumental follow up to the well received other side of the looking glass
* Former member of deep puddle dynamics

Alias's follow-up 12-inch to his critically acclaimed Muted record features Markus Acher of The Notwist and pedestrian. Both tracks demonstrate alias's compositional talent and flexibility as he blurs the lines between several music genres. In a addition to the title track and "The Physical Voice," the single also features two new exclusive instrumental tracks by alias: "Autumn Afternoons" and "Something Borrowed," as well as exclusive instrumentals of both "Unseen Sights" and "The Physical Voice."
One hears stylistic traces in Muted of drum-and-bass, dub, and jazz but, of course, the primary allegiances are to electronica and hip hop. The aural evidence suggests that Alias's listening regimen includes Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin, although many tracks sound closer in spirit and approach to that of Amon Tobin, the primary difference being the greater hip hop dimension of Alias's music. Both Tobin and Alias are distinguished by the exceptional construction skills they exhibit in building their compositionally rich tracks from a vast array of samples and loops. The tracks on Muted encompass an impressively range of styles, all of which Alias expertly handles with versatility and aplomb. --Ron Schepper, absorb.org

Alias continues his inspired trip through wordless soundscapes with his third full-length and first collaborative instrumental album, Lillian. On 2003's Muted, Alias (born Brendan Whitney) turned the corner from sample-based beatmaking and introspective raps to live instrumentation and electronic songcraft. He'd taken a giant leap of faith and strangely enough, landed square in his own shoes. Warm, fuzzy and swelled with pride, he sent the first copies of the record back to his family in Maine. Ehren Whitney, eleven years Brandon's junior, was only three when his big brother started plastering the walls of their room with posters of screw-faced rappers but the music's crotchtight grip never quite got ahold of him. In fifth grade he started playing saxophone and discovered he was a natural. Dad, a jazz drummer, would bring Ehren with him to gigs and pretty soon he was jamming along with the old-timers. Word spread through the extended Whitney clan, and before long he'd gathered a pile of hand-me-down highschool band instruments. He learned each in no time at all.
The day that Muted reached Ehren in Hollis, Maine, Alias's phone rang and plans were made: Ehren would fly out to Oakland, flute, alto sax, soprano sax, and clarinet in tow; they'd press record and see what happened. Using a few basic tracks laid down in advance, the brothers began layering sounds and improvising freely. Alias's trademark sounds are all here-- crunchy fuzz, bassy cut up drums, pop-and-click percussion, atmospheric synth, ghostly guitars-- but they're made bright and buoyant by Ehren's incredible ear for melody. The end result is Lillian, a warm and wonderful album inspired by (and named after) their grandmother. The perfect postmodern tribute to an American musical family.

Brookland/Oaklyn is the result of a bicoastal collaboration between anticon beatmaker extraordinaire Alias and vocalist Rona "Tarsier" Rapadas of New York's cinematronic duo, Healamonster & Tarsier. Prompted by one fluke email, the project took twenty-one months to complete, each artist recording in isolation and sharing the results long distance. Though the two hadn't met face to face, they clicked musically, the relationship flourished, and Brookland/Oaklyn is the pay off.
"Cub," the album's first track, begins with a light and steady pulse, a slow build of entwined keys, and Tarsier's rich and dulcet voice. She plays the chanteuse, walking a beautiful line somewhere between Björk and Beth Gibbons while Alias coaxes the song along-- gradually building it up, eventually coating the entire thing with a fine layer of frost. Off-kilter drums, choppy static and a jeweled synth line set the tone on "Rising Son," a lyrical ode to metamorphosis. Alias creates a boom-bap-infused atmosphere on "Last Nail" and finds his voice again, too, delivering rapid-fire, rhyme-free verses. Elsewhere, we're lifted upward by Telephone Jim Jesus' bright acoustic guitar ("Dr. C"), kited across the midnight sky by Kirsten McCord's cello ("5 Year Eve"), and brought down to earth by guests Dose One ("Luck & Fear") and Dax Pierson ("The Edge of America").
All in all, the result is a powerfully honest musical manifesto-- a project dreamt up and made human by kindred souls creating art 3,000 miles apart.

Awol One has long been considered one of the most sought-after lyricists in the independent hip hop generation. As one of the original members of the Massmen crew, he has developed his talents alongside the likes of the Abstract Tribe Unique, The Shapeshifters, Afterlife crew, as well as many others. Because of his raspy voice, sing-song delivery, and "why me?" lyrical style, Awol One has carved out a loyal following in the L.A. underground and earned himself the title of "hip hop's Lou Reed."
"Trilobites" captures the best of his rhyme style and the best of D.W. (D.J. 'D) and Fat Jack's production. Backed with "Static" from DJ 'D's The Worker's Union, this 12-inch serves as an introduction to many releases to come from Awol One on the Massmen label.
The Beastie Boys' 1998 release Hello Nasty remastered for the first time on double 180g gatefold vinyl. The original release is certified triple (3x) platinum by the RIAA, peaking at #1 on the Top 200 Album Chart. The album also received a pair of 1998 Grammys for Best Alternative Music Performance and Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group. Features the hit songs “Intergalactic” and “Body Movin’.”

Anticipation for Eminem's new studio album Relapse has been building since the fall, when the hip hop superstar first announced the album title and debuted the freestyle, "I'm Having A Relapse," during an interview on his Shade 45 satellite radio station. The release of "Crack A Bottle" from Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent brought that anticipation to a head. The track soared to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (Eminem's second #1 after 2002's "Lose Yourself") and set a Nielsen SoundScan record for opening week download sales. "Crack A Bottle" will be included as an album track on Relapse.
With the announcement of the release date for Relapse also comes confirmation of something that had been rumored in recent weeks: Eminem is already working on a follow-up album, Relapse 2, that fans can expect in the second half of 2009. "A lot of people were expecting Relapse to drop last year," explains Eminem. "I was one of them. Then Dre and I went back in the studio in September for a few days, and that turned into six months. We were on such a roll; we wound up with a ton of new music produced by Dre. Putting out Relapse 2 will let everyone get all of the best stuff."

Abstract Tribe Unique, along with fellow L.A. pioneers Freestyle Fellowship and Aceyalone, have gained worldwide notoriety for their mesmerizing live performances and thought-provoking, consciousness-raising lyrical styles. But they are probably most respected for their extremely stylized blend of soul, fusion, and hip hop, a bangini combination of catchy hooks that leaves people humming long after the pause button has been pushed. The eight all-instrumental tracks o lifted from their three previous albums (Mood Pieces and the simultaneously reissued South Central Thynk Taynk and upcoming Underground Fossils) and their contributions to the Project Blowed album o showcase hot new versions of tunes most requested by fans of their atmospheric, grooving sounds.

One gets the feeling that before meeting in person, Alias and Tarsier crossed paths someplace else, perhaps in some digital dreamscape out on the astral plane. Dr. C, the lead-off single from the duo's upcoming full-length, Brookland / Oaklyn, drops us directly into this ethereal fantasy world. The title track opens with a crunchy swell curling its way through bits of noise and crackling static. After an upbeat guitar intro-- courtesy of Telephone Jim Jesus-- the song picks up and introduces to Tarsier's silky pipes. When Alias joins in with armloads of whirring keyboards, rickety clicks and scruffy bass beats, things settle into a surprisingly organic groove with Tarsier's bright voice leading the dance through the heavy atmosphere.
The darkly drawn baroque beat of B-side "Five Year Eve" features cellist and Ecstatic Peace! recording artist Kirsten McCord contributing to a heady mix of rolling reverb and crackling percussion. Again, Tarsier's voice is the guiding light here, soaring above Alias's bare-bones mix of percussive skitters, synth accents, and cello flourishes. The single also features instrumental mixes of both tracks plus an exclusive remix of "Dr. C" from longtime Tarsier collaborator, Healamonster, who dubs the tune wide open. All in all, Dr. C couldn't be a better introduction to the alternately dulcet and dusky tones of the duo's full-length collaboration, Brookland / Oaklyn.

Premiér™ Vinyl Record Cleaner is a mild precision cleaner formulated to clean, preserve and protect precious audio recordings. New DuPont solvent technology -- just invented in 2000 --enables Premiér™ to easily out-perform any other old-style LP cleaning system on the market today. In fact, it’s as good or even better than the old Freon® solvent cleaners which everybody used thirty years ago.
The solvent at the heart of this extraordinary cleaner has three characteristics which make it the best vinyl cleaner on the market today.
First, the solvent has a very low surface tension and very low viscosity. This means that Premiér™ is much, much 'wetter' than water. Unlike water, Premiér™ won’t bead-up on the waxy surface of an LP but instead it will spread out, flowing into the grooves and dissolving light oils and fingerprints. (We know you never touch the surface of your LPs, but there’s just no telling some folks.)
Secondly, Premiér™ is very heavy -- nearly twice as heavy as water, and much heavier than dust or the little bits of mold release compounds left on the LP by the stamping machine. This enables Premiér™ to get under the contamination on the record and displace it -- it literally 'floats' the contamination away, just like a ship floats in the ocean.
But it gets even better. One little-known fact about LPs is that they accumulate static, just like that cheap shag carpeting your parents put in the family room when you were a kid. Remember the jolt of electricity you got when you walked across the room and touched a doorknob? Well, the same thing happens to LPs as you slide them in and out of their sleeves or even just walk across a room with one in your hand (although obviously at much lower voltages). At the microscopic scale of a record groove and a dust particle, that tiny voltage acts like a powerful magnet and locks the dust particles onto the surface of the record. But Premiér™ features a special additive which breaks those 'static' bonds, freeing the dust to float off the LP. This unleashes the 'like new' sound that’s trapped in your LPs -- getting rid of the static means you get rid of the dust, along with the snaps and pops and cracks which drive you nuts.
Does it work? You bet. A skeptical Tom Lyle wrote in The $ensible Sound that "The results are impressive… I was amazed how silent the vinyl was." More recently, in Stereophile Michael Fremer wrote "Most importantly, after that first play the stylus remained clean, with no residue or dirt stuck to it.' No dust, no noise, just pure sound"
Here’s a couple of other useful features about Premiér™:
* Premiér™ dries briskly, so it can be used in conjunction with other LP cleaning systems.
* Premiér™ can clean LPs, CDs and DVDs, plus all the recording heads, motors, relays, dials, connectors and cables found on modern stereo systems. It also is safe for keyboards, test gear and even the screens on laptop computers and PDAs.
* Premiér™ is nonflammable so it’s safe to have around the house.
* Premiér™ has almost no aroma so it’s inconspicuous to use.
* Premiér™ is completely ozone-safe, is generally non-toxic and is considered very safe for people and the planet. Although we know people who use Premiér™ on operating electronics, it is neither approved nor recommended by Micro Care for that use.
