Nathaniel Merriweather - Lovage
Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By produced by Dan "The Automator" Nakamura the creative force behind barrier breaking, think-outside-the-box projects such as Gorillaz, Deltron 3030, Octagon, and Handsome Boy Modeling School fame, is a collector's piece. There is serious creativity at work here with serious music as the result. Don't let the tongue-in-cheek presentation fool you, nor the humorous interlude (Herbs, Good Hygiene & Socks featuring Afrika Bambaataa). Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By is a "5 stars out of 5 stars" release.

Deltron 3030: "Virus" video

Hip-hop confabulations don't come much more forward-thinking than this. Working from solid atomic principles, Deltron 3030 takes one producer, one MC, and one DJ and throws them beyond Futurama. Dan the Automator (one of the founders of the Handsome Boy Modeling School and administrator of Dr. Octagon's porno hospital) reinvents himself as the Cantankerous Captain Aptos and teams up with Deltron Zero (a.k.a. Hieroglyphics crew member Del tha Funky Homosapien) and Skiznod the Boy Wonder (bucky turntablist Kid Koala). Between the radio ads for future-funked, rap jams, and camouflaged cameos (by the likes of Prince Paul, a castrato Damon Albarn, MC Paul Barman and his Upper West Side doppelgänger Sean Lennon), the Deltron crew advise you to upgrade your brain to avoid getting sucked into the time virus. ("Ugrade your gray matter," they chant, "'cause one day it may matter.") The thematic opener, "3030," sounds like a beat-driven David Lean movie that slipped into the DJ's fingers with 31st-century rhythm stutters and scratches. Automator ping-pongs loops as rousing choral parts swell with space pride. "Things You Can Do" riffs off mod rock while a harpsichord hack and Sean Lennon drops feature on the sickly sweet mental apocalypse of "Memory Loss." Over its 21 tracks, Deltron 3030 erases the errors of this rap era in favor of hip-hop's future fathers. --Chris Campion
