...album Paul's Boutique--Beck crafted an album that sounded like it came from somewhere between Memphis, Manhattan and Mars. The country rambler was still here, but now he was hobnobbing with bubbling psychedelic guitars, booming hip-hop tracks and distorted space-age bleeps. Splashed through with enough classic soul samples to put Stax Records back in business, Odelay was a manifesto for eclectic electronica, busting out all over the place with the joy of being retrospective and fresh and whimsical. Odd pieces were all there--funk, jazz, roots rock, old-school rap, nonsense lyrics--but suddenly they sounded compatible...
...Bride of Chucky, the latest movie starring the fatally adorable doll possessed by the soul of a serial killer, opened last weekend. The film was filled with gory and suspenseful moments, as every dark, quiet scene is violently and predictably disturbed by the axe-wielding doll's maniacal laughter and the horrified screams of his victims. But after prolonged exposure to this nonsense, Chucky's deathtraps became laughable and monotonous. Unfortunately, The Bride of Chucky is perfectly analogous with the new album release from Hovercraft, entitled Experiment Below. The record, relentlessly packed with strange noises and random samples, shows artistic...
...exciting beats stands the world's most sought after DJ and most versatile party-guy, the forerunner of the Big Beat Movement, and the master of the remix: Fatboy Slim, a.k.a. Norman Cook. On his new album, You've Come a Long Way, Baby, Fatboy Slim combines funk, soul, slamming techno and jazzy bits with ingenious samples and a vibrant sense of humor into a single, irresistible album. But unlike many other techno groups, Fatboy manages to maintain the immediate and improvisational texture of live club mixing while exploring the subtlety and precision of studio production--an innovative combination...
...album's first single, "The Rockafeller Skank." The caller requests a song by Fatboy Slim, who he claims is "the band of the nineties," yet he can't even name the track that he wants to hear, except the continuously repeated vocal sample "Right about now, the funk soul brother. Check it out now, the funk soul brother," which Fatboy links directly into the opening measures. "The Rockafeller Skank" was released as a single in March, and served as the catalyst of the artist's recent mainstream popularity. The addictive Lord Finesse vocal sample and the twangy surf guitar augment...
...victims in the Justice Department's parade of top tech firms allegedly abused by Microsoft. AOL's contention: That the software giant sweet-talked it into an exclusive (and illegal) deal, where AOL would get a cute launch button on the Windows desktop -- if it sold its service-provider soul exclusively to Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Netscape would be provided only if users asked for it ?- a deal that Redmond enforced by playing Big Brother. "Microsoft has carefully monitored references to Navigator and Netscape on the AOL service," said AOL senior vice president David Colborn, the government's latest witness...
