Junk Science

Amazon.com
Before striking out on their own, Washington, D.C.-based DJs and producers Ali "Dubfire" Shirazinia and Sharam Tayebi had already established themselves as ace remixers for everyone from De'Lacy to the Rolling Stones. Here, the Iranian-American house team known as Deep Dish shows it is just as adept at building original dance tracks as it is at giving new life to tedious pop stars. Junk Science gets rolling with a propulsive Everything but the Girl collaboration called "The Future of the Future (Stay Gold)," which matches Tracey Thorn's angelic voice with the duo's restless beats. But things really take off as Deep Dish further unravel their exploratory rhythms and exhilarating electronic sweeps. Cinematic effects add tension and sensuality to tracks like "My Only Sin" and "Persepolis," while the group stays in touch with its more carnal side with pumping cuts like "Chocolate City (Love Songs)" and "Stranded," one of 1997's most revelatory club hits. --Aidin Vaziri

Something new, interesting & definetly different.......2006-05-02

This record took me forever to get. Actually I'm still not sure if I "get" it, but when a record has rave reviews all over the net and I think it's bad I doubt myself just a little bit until I have listened to it to death. That being said I have been rocking this record in my MP3 player for a solid month and I am starting to see what those cats are talking about. But only sort of. Emcee Baje One and producer Snafu have a special chemistry here that really does seem kind of scientific, or maybe that's cause of the topics to rap about: Time travel, plutonium, liquefying ice, etc. Needless to say this album is a little different, but they do it well and with precision. Baje One is a solid emcee with a dope flow and a confidant swagger that is present in many NY representers. Snafu makes beats that bounce and weave around the lyrics usually with only one thing being steady: the dusty drums. At times comical they have created an album that is truly nerd rap, not because they are using big words but they literally are talking about things that my chemistry genius girlfriend would love. Not to say they don't get their straight up hip hop on either though. On "House Wigger" (14) they address those who may be posing as something they are not (and hip hop seems to be full of em). If you are looking for something a little different and fun this album is for you, just be prepared for something you have never heard and may never hear again. Junk Science = dopeness on record, it just takes forever to really sink in.

Off the hook!.......2005-12-04

these kids definitely have something going here. fresh beats, simple, but intelligent lyrics, and style out the wazoo! I didn't know what to expect when I picked this one up on a friend's recommendation, actually I kind of hate the kid that told me to buy it, but now I'm glad I know that kid, cause he put me on to the coolest indie rap record of the year.

This is album is not Junk.......2005-11-21

Junk Science's album lived up to all my expectations. The production is real percussive, and gritty, like 90's hip hop, not like all that synthy radio rap that seems like it's everywhere (and getting boring). Junk science's lyrics are straight forward, and sometimes really funny, but this isn't a comedy record, my favorites songs so far are "House Wigger" and "That's the Way", both songs that detail this dou's hard work to get as far as they have and some of the obstacles they had to get past.

Their later stuff is much better...........2007-02-20

Not only is their later music much better, I take real issue with the lyrics to "Mohammad Is Jesus"; they don't conform to reality!

A Dish That Digs Deep.......2002-05-17

Proving that Deep Dish are no one-trick ponies, Dubfire and Sharam release their own album of original music, which features thumping house, mid-tempo grooves, and ambient touches. These Washington, D.C.-based DJs bring to the table much more than beats and rhythm; they compose well-structured melodies that carry these tracks. "Mohammed is Jesus," "The Future of the Future (with Everything but the Girl)" and "Susuhi" feature Deep Dish doing what they do best: thumping house with a disco twist. But they also serve up a really seductive ambient number in the title track, and the downtempo "My Only Sin" is downright infectious and hypnotic. This CD didn't compltetely grab me at first, but, as with all good CDs, it grows on you.

What can I say?.......2000-09-06

It's been out for a couple of years now but still cuts you open with it's unadultered originality and funkiness.

Junk Science has it all. Personally I'm not a great fan of Tracy Thorn (who sings on Future of the Future) but that is my only complaint on what is a seamless soundtrack to any film you could ever imagine.

Atmospheric, trancy and funky. Junk Science will open your mind to the quality and originality of Deep Dish. If you are more interested in a club-friendly set then get Yoshiesque, their killer double album. Can these chaps do no wrong?

Atmospheric Grooves.......2000-05-05

Dubfire and Sharam create lovely, funky grooves that stretch out forever into confident, seductive soundscapes -- as evidenced by their extensive remix work for artists such as De'Lacy ("Hideaway" - a bona fide club smash), Kristine W ("Land Of The Living), and EBTG ("Wrong") who also collaborate on "The Future Of The Future (Stay Gold)" - the first single from "Junk Science". The other singles, "Stranded" and "Mohammed Is Jesus...", elevate club music to a higher plane.

The Deep Dish positive vibe is more laid back than the prog trance tendencies of early collaborator BT, though both artists have the same deft touch at creating expansive atmospheric dance music. Deep Dish achieves what Brian Eno's ambient experimentation did in the 70's: use technology to open up space and promote peace of mind and creativity. Deep Dish evolves those intentions for today's beat crazy audience. Definitely a "best of genre" cd! Outstanding track: "Chocolate City (love songs)". Ten and half minutes of sublime perfection.

a lil bit of cool.......2000-01-25

This album is in one word COOL. However it is not consistent and sometimes a little bit dorky and thus the rating. Tracks 7 and 11 are my personal faves and serve as excellent driving music, especially with a sub. Worth checking out if you like their other work.

Mohammad is Jesus ¡Rules!.......2000-04-02

Haven't had a chance to hear the hole CD but the single Mohammad is Jesus has been quite popular in Mexican Radio. I think it's a great song. Sounds great and it's a breath of fresh new music.
