eh about this release

R E L E A S E   I N F O R M A T I O N

A label-compilation project showcasing the varied and growing
talents of the rejuvenated Solesides crew, now known as Quannum,
"Quannum Spectrum" represents the unparalleled ambition of one of
underground rap's most respected collectives. Though the critics
have given DJ Shadow most of the attention, "Quannum Spectrum"
boasts excellent productions and intricate rapping from a half-dozen
important figures, including Chief Xcel and Gift of Gab (from
Blackalicious), Lateef The Truth Speaker and Lyrics Born (from
Latyrx), plus - for one track - guest producer El-P. Opening with
the groovy Quannum/Jurassic 5 soundclash "Concentration".

"Quannum Spectrum" works through over a dozen wildly diverse tracks,
subtly reinforcing the concept of a free-form late-night radio show
(it's occasionally broken up by spoken-word meanderings by host Mack
B. Dog). Though "Storm Warning" and "Divine Intervention" provide a
one-two punch early on, the album really never lets up; midway, an
irresistible groove number ('People Like Me' by Joyo Velarde) fades
into a great Lyrics Born number ('I Changed My Mind') that plays
more like blues-rock than hip-hop.

It's easily one of the most effective statements of purpose ever
produced in hip-hop, much less the underground rap scene.
