Milight

Amazon.com
Milight is an album vaguely about the future, peppered with commentary on the subject from Krush's collaborators, of which there are many. Producers DJ Cam and Shawn J. Period; rappers Mos Def, Rino, Tragedy, Ken "Duro" Ifill, and Fista Bundy; and vocalists Deborah Anderson and Eri Ohno add their voices and noises to Krush's metronomic beats and free-jazz scratching. The combination works particularly well on his collaborations with Mos Def ("Shinjiro") and Eri Ohno ("Mind Games," a John Lennon cover), but the album is interesting and consistent throughout. On his third album, DJ Krush has finally found a middle ground between his dark and minimal beat structures and the pop sensibilities of commercial hip-hop, losing the virtues of neither. --Matthew Corwine

as good as meiso!.......2003-01-04

a couple of years now I listen to ambient but when I heard milight for the first time I was sold! It`s such a good album I`d only knew meiso and the debut cd dj krush! if you like dj krush, shadow, vadim spinna I strongly reccomend you to listen to Aim - cold water music you! Greetz.. see you at the krush concert ;o) !

good.......2001-06-20

this is a good cd!!i was thinkin that it would have more instrumentals then songs with differents artist singing on it, it has 28 tracks on it, and i say that 20 out of the 28 are good, becuz there are alot of things that should not have been in there, but overall it is a very good cd!!!

krush cuts it up.......2000-07-31

I own two dj krush albums, Milight and Kakusei, both excellent pieces of instrumental hip-hop. But for sheer pleasure you can't beat the experience of his turntable skills in front of a live audience. I checked him out last year in a small club in Copenhagen and his performance was intense. Also his attitude towards the crowd was a sight to behold. He came on to the stage without a word and started spinning and left an hour and a half later bowing to show us his respect! If you ever get the chance to see Nippon's premier dj (along with Honda) be theeere!

awesome..........1999-07-06

'skin against skin' has gotta be the freshest acid jazz song of all time! ive never heard anything that was that intense!!! and deborah andersons lyrics are amazing as well! of course the album consists of other great songs, but im just riding this song for now!!

Simply Great.......1999-07-04

I have extremely enjoyed the beats, the MC, the DJ work, and the feeling that DJ Krush has to offer in Milight. Simply, an excellent piece of work.
