Stereo MC's
“Paradise”
LP & CD / 12 tracks
„PARADISE“ hat alles, was die Stereo MCs schon immer ausgezeichnet
hat, und doch klingt vieles im Elektronik-Funk-Rap-Kosmos immer wieder
anders - der Evolutionsprozess setzt sich unaufhörlich fort.
Funk bildet das Zentrum des Albums, dessen Gerüst aus knackigen
Beats und Bässen besteht, die durch Bläser-Hits und Hammond-Chords
ergänzt werden. |
