Yesterday's New Quintet- Angles Without Edges

Not often do I get a chance to bless other people with music that is about as pure as Columbian Cocaine. As strong as the Bat wielded by Hank Aaron and as full of harmony as an appearance from Gladys Knight and The Pips on Soul Train. Many people are enamored with the possiblities that are ahead when it comes to Hip-Hop fusing with other genres (see the record sales that the Black Eyed Peas saw for that single they did with Sergio Mendes) while others contend that Hip-Hop is unarguably and undeniably already peaked and ready to die, if not already dead. Enter Madlib. better yet enter in the music of his Alter ego's Yesterday's New Quintet...a heavilly Jazz inspired concoction that employs perfectly rythmic chopped Drum breaks, Horn stabs and Keyboard riffs from the most obscure Vinyl records, YNQ is somthing that is uniquely the past, present and future all in one. Madlib, one of the resident beat makers over at Indie powerhouse Stones Throw proves every bit the Jazz, Funk, Soul, Drum and Bass enthusiest on this project which really can open the ears of close minded Hip-Hop junkies to the roots of great music all the while still keeping them content with great Boom bap arrangements. If your a Hip-Hop head don't miss this. If your a lover of great music don't miss this.
