NATSUMEN

This Japanese octet features two guitarists, a drummer, a trumpet player, two saxophone players, a keyboard player, and a bass player conjuring magic from the depths of their souls to bring you mind bending  avant-garde jazz/post-rocky madness that moves from intense madness to classy beauty.  Natsumen has been a favorite of mine for years now; now delve into my obsession with me! Truly a one of a kind gem not to be missed.

I promise you have never heard hip-hop done in this fashion, but yet again that can be said about a lot of the artists of the Anticon collective/label.  Its hard to even say if this is hip-hop.  It's spacy as fuck; certainly not music to get pumped up to, but rather get lost in to a surreal mental state. The rapping(?) often verges into singing, but really its neither.  It was hard describing this 2001 jem.
