Neuauflage eines Hip-Hop-Klassikers der späten 90er Jahre. Beats und Rhymes von Madlib, mit Wildchild und DJ Romes.

Soundpieces: Da Antidote! war das erste Album, das vollständig von Madlib produziert wurde, und stellte eine Riege von MCs vor - darunter Quasimoto, Oh No, Declaime und viele andere.

Dreifach-Vinyl-LP als limitierte Primary Colours-Edition (blau, rot & gelb), steckt in einem Gatefold-Cover mit breitem Rücken.

Eine lang erseehntes Reissue dieses Underground-Hip-Hop-Klassikers von 1999, der nun endlich wieder erhältlich ist und seit mindestens 2018 oder länger nicht auf Vinyl verfügbar war.

"The Lootpack's debut album, Soundpieces: Da Antidote!, ushered in a string of excellent releases on Peanut Butter Wolf's Stones Throw label, and helped serve notice that the West Coast underground scene was becoming one of tremendous creative vitality.

Much of the album's success is due to fantastic production by Madlib, who takes his place as one of the West Coast's most imaginative trackmasters, underground or otherwise.

His style is subtly otherworldly, drawing bits and pieces from countless obscure sources; every listen reveals new, unexpected sounds layered into the mix.

With 24 tracks over the course of a full CD, Soundpieces does feel a bit excessive, but most of the tracks are thankfully focused and concise, and a few clock in at around a minute or less.

The exception is the multi-sectioned suite "Episodes," an impressive b-boy bouillabaisse that showcases Madlib's fragmented genius.

The rapping, by Madlib and Wildchild plus a guest roster of West Coast scenesters, is consistently high-quality, and the album is studded with great singles: "Questions," "Whenimondamic," the eerie-sounding "The Anthem," and "Weededed," Among the many guests, Dilated Peoples and Lootpack mentors Tha Alkaholiks shine brightest on "Long Awaited" and "Likwit Fusion," respectively." - allmusic.com
