Pro Reviews: Collecting The Kid (Ltd)
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Gathering ElP's whims and whatnots, Collecting the Kid is a surprisingly purposeful fulllength that hangs together despite its pedigree. Instrumentals that were rejected by rappers, raw tracks that haven't found a home, and bits of ElP's soundtrack to the Bomb the System film are the three main sources for these moody sounds, but only the revolving door of more guests than usual hints these cinematic tones are orphans. Maybe it's the arc of the album, which starts with a building tidal wave of sound and ends on a sleepy track from Central Services ElP's group with Camu Tao from S.A. Smash. More likely, it's the fact ElP is starting to balance his instrumental albums, where the music wanders, with his rap albums, where things are more to the point. "Telemundo" is the twoworldsinone track with the help of film dialogue and a changing song structure that resembles a suite. The throbbing bass on "Constellation" verifies the producer's Can influence while the man himself gives props to Art of Noise in the liner notes. These insights into the man's taste outside of rap are interesting, and you could call this ElP's least hiphop album if it weren't for the jazzbased High Water. Of course, Matthew Shipp curated that album and this is ElP on his own, just doodling. That he's in no hurry to grab the mic again is a disappointment for some, but the lyricfilled "Jukie Skate Rock" should satisfy with Camu Tao and Big Wiz throwing it back to a time the dancefloor was filled with Buffalo Gals. The soundtrack work and hanging with the jazzers has left an impression on the producer. His work here is more concerned with feel and groove and less worried about being on point and revolutionary. He won't change the world by drifting off into the atmospheric ether this often, but if this is a sketchy blueprint for what Fantastic Damage's true followup will sound like, watch out. - David Jeffries, All Music Guide |
