Eliot Lipp - City Synthesis
(Metatronix, 2007)
There's
something quite appealing to me about Eliot Lipp's patented brand of
squelching wonky synth-hop. It's hip hop for sure - the beats are
tighter than something I shouldn't probably mention on a page that can
be read by minors, but there's more than just beats here, more than
just a reference to what's come before. I could reference Dabrye of
course, as he has a similar originality and deft talent in hip hop
manipulation, but Lipp doesn't sound like Dabrye, instead he has forged
a sound indebted to early electronic music (think BBC Radiophonic
workshop) just as much as it is indebted to early B-Boy anthems. If you
don't believe me all you need to do is place your ears around 'Hard 2
Get' which is as squelchy a piece of hip hop I've ever heard, with a
gurgling MS20-sounding bass line that literally makes me weak at the
knees. With ten instrumentals and one vocal and mastered nice and loud
by the man Supersoul there should be enough here for any self
respecting hip hopper to get all red-eyed about. Heavy.
