Albums, I better shouldn't have sold/lost Part V



Another fine compilation with people from the Anticon folks. There is one song on it which marks my favorite song from Sage Francis. It is called "Inherited Scars", is produced by DJ Mayonnaise and sounds like it could be a production from Mum's The Word. You can also find this song on Sage Francis "Personal Journals" album and on the "Climb Trees" 12" but not the instrumental! But this album also has some other interesting stuff to check out!

Albums, I better shouldn't have sold/lost Part IV



Yeah, I sold this one and I'm not sure if it was a good decision or not. Because this compilation was an early release of the avantgardistic record label MUSH. The music released on MUSH often brought new influences into Hip-Hop like in this release. A lot of the Artists come from Anticon and others who are close to them. What makes this album different from the others from that time is the intentional abandonment of clean sounds but instead it sounds like they used samples in the original state....

Dead Homiez


This is the Soundtrack to the movie Dead Homiez from 1997 which is a tribute to all the fallen homiez. It contains a gang of heavyweights like Volume 10, Sinister, DK Toon, B/Cartoon, Ganjah K, Abstract Rude, Buccet Loc, Quan, Skubie, Flowood, G.O.D. and Dutch. Here you can find the different version of "Front Row" from the Abstract Tribe Unique album "South Central Thynk Taynk".

Beneath The Surface...


This is one of the few albums that still amazes me after rotating it since 1998.

It casts LA's most prolific rappers paired with Omid's deep going beats leading you to a 82 minutes lasting journey. You just have to enter the bus and to enjoy the ride...

Additional note:
The compilation was first self released by Omid himself in a limited run in form of a 3xLP and a CD in 1998. In 1999 came a 12" EP, a 3xLP and CD on Celestial Recordings. The full length Celestial Recordings releases have a different track listing than Omid's self released ones. On the first release there are the tracks "Surveillance", "What Up" and "Outsider" which aren't on the second release while on the 2nd there are "Subterranean Service" and "To The Turn Of The Earth" which aren't on the first release. Furthermore the second press vinyl consists of 3 records where only 2 records contain the vocal versions while the third has some instrumentals! Some people say that there was also a repress of the 2nd 3xLP. Later on, there also came a CDr and a 2xLP with the instrumentals and a re-release of the first CD.
Taking the instrumentals from the 2nd 3xLP version and the Instrumental CDr there are only 3 instrumentals missing: "You are in my clutches", "What Up?" and "Outsider" which is the same beat as on "Line Postin' in Pedro". For "You are in my clutches" I can remember that I once read that Omid doesn't know where his original ADAT recording is, so we probably will never see this one :(

Constant Elevation



Constant Elevation is a small compilation with at least 11 tracks containing only two vocal tracks. One with the Freestyle Fellowship that is called "Crazy" and was produced by Omid. The beat was also on Omid's "Afterwords" like the Instrumental that is called "Schrödinger's Cat". There is also another nice beat by Omid together with Nobody! The other vocal track comes from Antipop Consortium. Enjoy.......
