Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Mood music.......2006-12-23

Madlib has to be one of the most creative individuals releasing music today. This album combines the spontaneity of jazz jam session with deep hip hop grooves. Perfect for a mellow afternoon or any other time to get lost in your thoughts. Very rewarding.

4 out of 5 stars quite good, really.......2006-02-19

but i would just like to point out (because i've not yet read a review where this was mentioned) that the song Paladium is a nifty little reworking of Palladium by Weather Report. you can even hear Jaco's funky @ss bassline (apparently sampled then somehat buried). that's all.

4 out of 5 stars Its NICE!!!.......2005-11-03

It is every bit worth of 4 stars. When I first heard this album, I thought it would be a rap project of some sorts; but it wasn't. It was an instrumental album. The first couple of listens, I didn't care for it and didn't play it. Some 3 months later, put it in the deck and listened to it while cleaning house, and loved every bit of it. Favorite stand out track "Little Girl". I gave the cd more props when I heard "Mestizo Eyes" on Adult Swim.

All and all, its a nice album.



P.S. I hear Stevie is better.

3 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Recording.......2005-08-04

I've listened to this recording several times now and I've concluded that it has a very mysterious appeal. It's not quite jazz, although it certainly utilizes some jazz harmonies and improvisatory freedom but Angles Without Edges walks the line between jazz and hip hop. As a matter of fact, this album would sit quite uncomfortably on the record shelves if it were surrounded by recordings by the likes of Miles Davis, John Coltrane or Wayne Shorter. One man band and producer, Madlib, really comes up with some excellent grooves and uses them to good effect and gets a wide range of interesting sounds out of his synthesizers. Unfortunately, as is done in a lot of hip hop, these grooves are basically driven into the ground by being looped over and over, without variation. Worse, Madlib is not a skilled keyboardist, resulting in some questionable solos. All in all, this album is an interesting experiment and does make for some compelling listening but it doesn't bear comparison to any of the recordings released by jazz's great inventors and pioneers.

5 out of 5 stars Not Your Father's Jazz.......2005-06-29

I first heard 4 of these songs as soundtracks to "Bumps" during Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" line up. There would be a random shot of somewhere in Tokyo and these songs would play. The last "bump" listed the artists. I finally found the songs that I was looking for on this album.

This is going to be one of those CD's that you always want with you. "Papa", "the One Who Know", and "Paladium" are infectious. You can't keep your head from nodding and feet from tapping. This album is fused with so many element. Jazz, R&B, and Hip Hop. This is a keeper.
