Prefuse 73

The Forest Of Oversensitivity

    This five track EP was recorded at the same sessions as Guillermo Scott Herren's critically acclaimed album "Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian", and contains three brand new tracks, as well as two radical reworkings of tracks from that set. As with the LP, these cuts wrap beats around psychedelia, mixed with avant-rock, hiptronica, hip hop, beats wonky grooves and beyond. Unlike "Everything She Touched..." however, the tracks here move beyond micro ideas and are fleshed out into full length tunes.

    Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian

      From the Roger Dean style sleeve onwards, "Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian" heads down a progressive route. Unlike Yes however, Guillermo Scott Herren goes for micro, not sprawling, and delivers a double album wrapping beats around psychedelia to create a 49 minute aural odyssey through avant-rock, hiptronica, hip hop, beats wonky grooves and beyond. Instructed by the process and purity of analogue recording, this album is a seminal work, a flowing body of work segmented into 29 tracks, powerful instrumentation and gentle psychedelia. Don't be fooled by the cover; this is a fantastic LP!

      Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives

        Prefuse 73's debut Warp long player, "Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives"'s 16 tracks can be listened to as one 50-minute piece of experimental ambient hip-hop (hiptronica as we call it these days!). Atlanta-based producer Scott Herren uses a richly varied palette to create the album's warm, subtle sound collages. Sliced-and-diced rap and vocal performances play a key role on a number of these sonic constructions. "Blacklist", featuring MF Doom and Aesop Rock, is an exception. Herren doesn't mess with the MCs' raps and the relatively straight-up track nicely contrasts with the CD's hip hop abstractions. The producer does subtly manipulate the mellow vocals of Sam Prekop (Sea and Cake) on the lovely "Last Light".

        Preparations

          After various incarnations and mini releases, Guillermo Scott Herren is back with his most accomplished and sonically diverse work since 2003's revolutionary bestseller "One Word Extinguisher". "Preparations" features two killer collaborations with NYC contemporaries: one featuring John Stanier from the mighty Battles, the other the lovely ladies from School Of Seven Bells. Also included is bonus disc (with CD and LP formats) "Interregnums", which showcases Prefuse 73's until now unheard explorations into orchestral depth and texture – a real treat for hardcore fans and a great discovery for newbies.

          Surrounded By Silence

            A new album for 2005 from Prefuse 73 which sees the prolific producer move further onwards into uncharted sonic territories. Prefuse 73 is one-man production powerhouse Scott Herren and "Surrounded By Silence" represents 'the radio station of his mind', featuring a constellation of stars from hip hop and indie royalty he met while touring and producing during the last two years. They include GZA, El-P, Kazu (Blonde Redhead), Ghostface, Masta Killa, Aesop Rock, Beans, Tyondai Braxton and Broadcast. The resulting material makes for an amazingly diverse, totally unique and yet completely accessible body of work, all securely underpinned and melded together with Prefuse 73's visionary production.
