The plot of Black Mask revolves around a group of superhuman fighters (the 701 Squad) who feel no pain; Jet Li, the renegade good guy, must defeat the rest of his former comrades. Similarly, the soundtrack for the film is filled with a host of hip-hop tracks with little feeling invested; the few renegades here are those who invest something in their songs, but they're greatly outnumbered. Our heroes include DITC (Digging in the Crates), whose "Get Yours" could have fit in with the classic funky tracks on the Brand New Heavies' Heavy Rhyme Experience: Vol. 1 compilation; Natural Elements, who bring an underground flow to "Live It Up"; Council, who are nice and smooth on "We're on Top of Thangs"; and Screwball, who makes good use of the DJ Premier-produced "F.A.Y.B.A.N." Everlast's cameo is nothing to write home about, though, and neither is this soundtrack. Let's hope Jet Li fares better in the film. --Randy Silver

Some good material dragged down by bad..........2003-03-02
This is a very ruff-sounding soundtrack of mostly underground artists that will appeal only to the most hardcore rap afficionados. Unlike most rap soundtracks, there isn't a single track on this CD intended as a radio or club tune; it's all ill underground New York stuff intended for those who like street-style rap. So don't even consider buying it if you've never heard of Big L, Jigmastas, or Deadly Snakes. That said, even if you are a hardcore rap fan, there is still some questionable material on this CD.
What's surprising, in my opinion at least, is that a lot of the better material is only heard towards the end of the CD, whereas most of the earlier tracks are poor in comparison. The album gets off to a bad start with the all-star collaboration 'We're Takin' It All', featruing Royce Da 5'9" and Diamonds-N-Da-Ruff. It comes off sounding too cheesy to be taken seriously. The album does, however, gain back a bit of ground with the smooth Natural Elements' 'Live It Up'. Next up is by far the illest song on the album - Deadly Snakes' 'Wild West' - which, despite its cliched title, is an absolutely banging street track that will definitely capture your ears.
After 'Wild West', however, the CD again descends into a series of tracks that range from 'aiight' to downright [bad]. Big L (RIP) delivers on DITC's 'Get Yours', but he's done far better than this, and I'm sure his fans would want far better. 'Killin' Spree' by Defari fails to catch your ears at all. The CD gains ground again with DV Alias Kurst's 'The Attack Is On' with its ill, action-flowing beat, but his lyrics and delivery can be painful to listen to at times. The 'downright [bad]' description most certainly applies to the next four tracks, 'We're On Top Of Thangs' by Council, 'Fires In Hell' by Half-A-Mil, 'Who You Lovin' by Cardan, and 'F.A.Y.B.A.N.' by Screwball (the latter has a good Premier-produced beat, but the HORRIBLE chorus will make you skip ahead immediately).
Fortunately, after this long selection of poor material, the CD comes back with a vengeance, starting with the grooved-out 'Pimpin' by Willie Stubz. Everlast as usual delivers on 'Painkillers', a surprisingly vivid track. Perhaps one of the tightest-sounding songs on the album is next - Jigmastas' 'Last Will and Testimony'. With its laid-back delivery and simple but smooth-flowing beat, this is a song that will be bangin' on your stereo for a long time to come. Finally, the CD wraps up with the very hardcore-sounding (it's name tells it all) 'Heavy Metal, Part 2' by Bigfoot, more good car stuff.
Overall, this is a CD that could have been better if not dragged down by so much poor-to-average quality material. It's only for the die-hard B-boys, and even then, it may be a tough decision. Now, the only question is, what do any of the songs on this album have to do with genetically-enhanced supersoldiers in Hong Kong?

A Tribute to Adolph Deutsch..........2005-04-02
Washington Slept Here". Through whimsical dressed up folk themes, we see the mishaps of a couple struggling to get a supposed historical farmhouse up to par. Nice to have a comedy score for a change! We get two Bogart scores, ofcourse "Maltese
Falcon" and "High Sierra". In Maltese the music is subtle and mysterious using economy of instruments; yes, because the studio was on a budget. "High Sierra" also was budget restricted, but Deutsch still managed a melody Steinerish score depicting the great natural locations of California's Sierra Mountains. In the "Mask of Dimitrios" we get a tension filled mood score as Peter Lorre pursues a deadman walking. "Norhtern Pursuit" a WWII
espionage thriller gets a big orchestra illustrating icy Canada and patriotic themes as well as Nazi darkness. The bars of V victory from Beethoven's fifth end the film abruptly. Mosfilm Studios does another good job with the recording, full and spacious.
