We Are DMX

I read somewhere that the DMX Krew (it's really just one guy) had put out an "alarmingly consistent" series of albums that all sounded like the Monkees trying to sound like Kraftwerk. This album takes all kinds of eighties synth sounds, throws them in a blender, and adds a huge amount of surreal humour. It's sort of bizarre, like an eighties album that has something seriously wrong with it. It grooves, but it also really makes me laugh.

Listen up, if you got a powerful hankering for some 808 kiks,with that classic hi-hat run and synths that soke your ears through and through to the point of no return, BUY THIS! I know the word electro has been painted on albums of all types just because there is a 303 bass line on song 7, I know Afrika Bambaata put " Who Let the dogs out" on his USA mixed cd,I FEEL YOU! This album will make it all ok. DMX KREW is the real deal!Example: The kid who wrote the review above mine thought he was getting DMX (the top 40 rapper) and still rated it at 5 stars!

DMX Krew is far out electro that you can dance to! But beware, for the tracks are contaminated with tasteless (or tasteful?) 1980s style happy-go-trippy pop lyrics. But this is what makes it really good fun. The power-track Good Time Girl is a really cool track about being a DJ: 'Eyes wide! You saw me in a magazine // You sighed thinking of what might have been // You forgot how it was always me who was never loving you.' If you're into retro-80s and electro, go get this funky Rephlex release. Content: 11 tracks, 37min.

DMX Krewの4thアルバム。国内未発売。デビュー作"Sound of the Street"から、"Ffressshh!""Nu Romantix"とアルバムを発表してきた。2ndと3rdの出来は決して悪くないが、1stの出来とインパクトが凄すぎて、それに及ばないのは残念だった。 本作"We Are DMX"の出来は素晴らしい!!80'sエレクトロを完璧に再現したアンニュイな1stとは趣が異なり、80'sの電子音楽のいいとこ取りに聞こえる。 初めから最後まで、飛ばすことなく気持ち良く聴ける。届いた日には何回聴いたかわかりません!!"Sound of the Street"と並べてもいい名盤です!! 80'sサウンドをこよなく愛するエドDMX氏。彼の創造する音楽は80'sサウンドそのものである。どんなに時代が進もうとも、彼はこれからも80'sサウンドを創造し続けるだろう。 素晴らしき80'sサウンドよ、永遠なれ!!
