Album Notes Personnel: Ming, FS (vocals, various instruments, programming); BLESTeNATION, Mack, Youngblood, Werdplay, M'stro Manny, M'stro Manny, TC Izlam, DK Of Omzone.The New York DJ duo of Ming & FS ups the ante on the recombinant future of electronic music. Blending together jungle, old-school hiphop, electro, and rock, HELL'S KITCHEN reveals Ming & FS to be accomplished mature musicians. Most of the 14 tracks are thematic buffets, with as many as five distinct themes squashed into a mere minute and a half. Ming & FS show technical mastery, emotional understanding, and production know-how of jungle and hiphop. They have coined a term for their sound: "Junkyard." Their junkyard sound combines contemporary urban musical dialects-the sampling and looping ethos of hiphop; the hyper-computerization and cold futurism of jungle; the occasionally kitsch but referential inclusion of dated samples, riffs, or moods-into a post-post-modern whole. From the frenetic opener "Hell's Kitchen" to the dark, melancholic closer "Numb," Ming & FS compress volumes of aural information into each track. The hallmark of HELL'S KITCHEN is its originality and ambition. Ming & FS have produced a remarkable debut album. Editorial Reviews CMJ (01/10/2000) | |||||||||||||
