Rasco's Birth EP.......2000-01-13

Rasco, along with Planet Asia, are two MCs with undoubtably raw talent. They are fresh new talents that, along with Peanut Butter's production, enter a new realm of underground hip-hop. By far, the tightest and truest, especially having New York flava coming from Cali.

When I first got this record it came w/the instrumentals of the entire EP as well. So, I picked it up again (on vinyl)... I have mad love for the production on this that has given me so much joy beat-juggling. Then, I grabbed the CD and just zoned out over the ill lyrics and underground beats. All in All you need to get on this, I'm sure that if you're a fan of good hip hop music, this won't dissapoint.

Album Description

The Going-Away Party is the debut EP from Dayton Oh-based art rock collective Complete Portion Control, related by birth to Dayton lo-fi legends Guided By Voices. Imagine Mark E. Smith from The Fall if he'd gone to a Swiss prep school. Imagine jagged, cyclic rhythms with inscrutable, repetitive vocals ranging from sweet crooning to insane shouting. Imagine a drug experiment gone badly wrong.

A red wine ritalin US Open cocktail.......2005-02-05

With the cool ubertones of post-Allan Parsons' Project "I Robot" releases, the debut release by CPC does its best to integrate the many influences of its lead singers' modest Midwestern upbringing. Don't let the liner notes fool you, these guys are from a dull working class Dayton, Ohio exurb best known as the home of Kenny Rogers (the broasted chicken restaurant, not the singer). The lead singers' kaleidoscopic experience as a long distance freight driver, southwestern hippie commune supplicant, strip club poet, ADD drug prophet, and canine philanthropist certainly adds to the mix. While lacking the brilliance and staying power of a meat sandwich, the record leaves one with the distinct and altogether familiar feeling of having undergone full body hair removal by droll aspiring literary agents. Best tracks here are "Ukraniana" and "Destroyer". Recommended.

Brilliant! A must listen for any serious music lover........2005-02-04

One of my new favorites. A bit reminiscient of early Pavement, with a hint of The Fall and a touch of GBV. Complete Portion Control makes Conor Oberst and the other new kids seem like they're trying just a bit too hard. Intriguing lyrics set against a background of really cool music. CPC creates new possibilities with their sonic landscapes - not like Moby, though. You'll get it after a few listens....well worth the adventure.

Fantastic!.......2005-02-04

One of the best debut recordings I've heard in ages. These guys are serious experimentalists, emphasis on mental. Understand that it's some ex-members of Guided By Voices (do I detect the deft telecaster stylings of Tobin Sprout?) but this definitely stands on its own as a left-field classic.
