Audio Sports - Era of Glittering Gas, Eat+Buy+Eat (1992)

!!!REBOOT!!!

this is not really a new post, but a repost.

see I

was hanging with my pal The Hen t'other night

in my kitchen, when he requested, as he always does

to hear Audio Sports. I've come to realize that it is the only

record in my collection he does not possess but wishes he did...

and so we listened to it and it sounded as fine as ever

but then today when i wanted to hear it at work

i tried pulling it offa the froxx here, alas

only to find my link was crossed

with a Sonny Sharrock boot

well, hah and lol

sorry!

it's been fixed

now

i urge you

to check this out

if you have not yet

the beats are smoof

and eye's rhymes flow

in a most pleasant mode

Trouser Press: For fans of space-a-delic rap, Audio Sports resembles nothing so much as the Beastie Boys being choreographed by a tag team of Neil Tennant and John Zorn. With its surreal cutting (provided by DJ Kool Jazz Takemura) and stun-gun BPM levels, Eat+Buy+Eat uses basic hip-hop elements as a base for wiggy gibbers and rasps that effectively skewer consumer culture icons. Yamatsuka is less of a presence on Era of Glittering Gas, but his hijinks add an edgy goofiness to the maliciously playful "Outlaw in Wonderland."
