Cut Chemist - Die Cut - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The debut album from Cut Chemist, formerly of pioneering underground hip-hop group Jurassic 5, the Audience's Listening is evocative of an era when sound enthusiasts put out records for the adventure of it, not as a vehicle tied to hit singles and booty-shaking videos. Using a turntable, mixer and computer to create the songs, this gifted DJ has conjured an homage to what is possible. Varied, uplifting and unexpected, rooted in hip-hop but leaping into new sonic territory, the Audience's Listening offers musical magic created by the alchemist known as Cut Chemist.

Digipak reissue with an 8-page booklet featuring lyrics and liner notes. Blackie Lawless launched W.A.S.P. on the unsuspecting world in 1983 and before long tales of their outrageous music and intense stage shows were legendary. In the last few years of the old century, W. A. S. P. made some of their most striking and brave albums. The ferocious, blood-splattered Kill F**k Die and the celebratory sleaze fest of Helldorado had provided solid proof that Blackie Lawless' songwriting skills were as keen and unique as ever and, unlike the majority of his 80s contemporaries, this most dogged and determined of frontmen was entering a new era full of confidence, with that blazing inferno in his eyes clearly a long way from fizzling out. Originally released in 1998, Helldorado represented an unabashed return to W.A.S.P.'s early '80s no-nonsense rock'n'roll approach. With few fancy frills and no needless distractions, Helldorado is rock 'n' roll the way it was meant to be - hard as a biker's bicep and raw as a bloody steak!
