RJD2 creates music that's not easy to pin down, though everyone seems to try. The Columbus, Ohio-based DJ-producer explores the same basic formula used by DJ Shadow and Moby, but his style is more complex and, refreshingly, a hell of a lot less pretentious. Less bass-heavy than Shadow's 1996 release, Endtroducing... (the album it's often compared to), Deadringer showcases RJD2's master ability to layer unusual samples with complex drum patterns, funky grooves, and original vocals. The '50s horror movie-sampled "The Horror" starts things off on the grunge tip and then the album's sound progresses into straight-up hip-hop, break beats, rock & roll, blues, and more. Songs like the Jimi Hendrix-influenced "Smoke and Mirrors" and the honky-tonk soulfulness of "2 More Dead" up the ante, demonstrating just how far the trip-hop genre has progressed since the mid-'90s. One of the most enjoyable albums of the year, Deadringer is an essential addition to your listening library. --Rebecca LevineCustomer Reviews:
YESSSSSSSSS.......2006-11-11
instant classic.......2006-08-08
Being a producer/music creator myself(not a DJ), I can appreciate the style and creative force that RJD2 wields like an iron sceptor. Each song is crafted and laid out with tight beats and awesome production. All of the reviews on this spot seem to classify RJ as this or that. WEll, to be honest, he has his own style, RJ style. It sounds like no one else.
RJ seems to enjoy using samples, but his creative energy shines forth. This album is more "hip hop" oriented,, even featuring a few emcees who rock the mic right. I love this cd and I would recommend it to all who enjoy tight beats.
For those who love to discover new music, and to add to your classics..........2006-06-19
Having recently discovered this thanks to the site - Having been an obsessed fan of Shadow, Krush and Cam before, during and after their 'hey day' since in the US they never got recognized. I became and discovered the underground... meaning big on music that mainstream definately has never heard of at all....nor intention of ruining thank karma.
RJ definately shows that he has skill as a DJ. If you buy The Horror Remix disc, (which like another reviewer said is basically an album in itself) you can watch first hand on the DVD as he raws (awesomely performs) it live on the second disc.
The two tracks with rappers are good. I've never liked rap for rap. But when it stays true to the origin, like this - a dj and 2 mc's... The mc's tell a real story, or they express their hearts in rap forms. There's no clapping and sugarcoating to get the azz up like today. The lyrics are real, it screams out for attention but it craps on the mainstream like everything should be.
The instrumental tracks vary a lot. Sure they keep a solid hip hop flow as far as the beats go, which is good... but some tracks have a little too much of the vynl over dubbed over his created add ons...Songs like 'Good Times Roll' for instance. It's normal though if you're big on sampled music. If you're deep with music and find a flow in a piece of the song than it won't bother you. But the song is repetitive. No breakdowns or breakouts like the lead off track or the big break in 'Smoke N Mirrors."
The Hip hop tracks are reminiscent of DJ Cam's rap tracks. Samples all over the track dubbed with a spitter literally pardoning the French.
Now my big problems with the CD... The tracks that I really dig, like "Shot in the Dark" - an old gangsta western track with a voiceover sample is only a minute and 21 seconds. The tracks I'm all over are the fade in, and fade out... why the artists always do that I don't know. Maybe its financial ties with pushing the disc out the door and it's an unreleased track.
I've done that a few times with some of my tracks, but I loved it, and just couldn't build off of them....
If you are new to this 'genre' then I say welcome, hope you like and venture into discovering more. But to be honest, RJ is the closest thing to Dj Shadow (not UNKLE) than Mr. Obtuse (look him up on myspace) and that's it.. And I spend everything on music. 10-05-06=$268.44 look at my profile for proof...
The review sucks but hey.. If you know what to expect when you hear the clips, than you know you will like it. I did, and I do. If you buy old cd's because they are new to you, yet published 3-10 years ago than go for it. Obviously today has gone awry and anybody who is real unlike cable television and source awards can tell you... Go get this disc. Hell.. Kanye would like it... so what's that say?
Nice.......2006-05-04
Essential.......2006-05-01
The Horror, June [the rappings not bad, but the melody is insane], Smoke and Mirrors, Cut Out To Fl. [this track is extremely catchy], the Final Frontier [its strangly refreshing], F.H.H. [becuase he rhymes about how i feel about rap, and its a nice instrumental], 2 More Dead, and Work. The main reason i love work [it could be my favorite track] is because of the hidden song that cuts in 5:40 min. into the song. This is [In my opinoin] the best song on the disc.
I gurantee [i think i spelled that wrong] that if your into DJ Shadow, or just appreciate mellow tunes, then you'll love this.

21st Century Brave.......2007-07-27
Hogarth is superb on this album; he sounds like Bono from U2 at times. (Listen to the only 'pop' song, "You're Gone"). At times Marillion is spacey on this disc such as in the beginning of the first track, "The Invisible Man," and reminds the listener of early Pink Floyd or King Crimson. At other times, it's Marillion's typical gut-wrenching, tear inducing musical bliss. "Neverland" hits the listener like a gust of wind coming in from the ocean on a warm summer night, and is easily one of this band's most epic tracks of their entire catalogue. I must also give kudos to Steve Rothery who puts together some nice acoustic guitar work on the track "Don't Hurt Yourself". On the other hand, his electric performance is full of feeling and emotion and adds a powerful element to this release that propels it into the upper echelons of H-era Marillion.
Altogether, this is a fantastic album, and I'd recommend it as a follow-up to any fan of "Brave" or even of their 80's material.
Good but not the best stuff.......2007-04-09
... I will (eventually) buy the new CD ... MARBLES is a good record (3.5 stars) but too many sleepy-yawn tracks like Angelina and Don't Hurt Yourself {and I don't care for Steve's falsetto voice in the chorus - if a chorus is not in your range of your real voice, write a different melody} ..... Don't know if anyone agrees but sad to me the days of BRAVE, AOS and SEASONS END are just flat-out gone ..... Marillion like any band wants to be successful and has decided they just can't do it making the type of music of the above ... maybe they're right ... Or maybe for some odd reason they prefer this style ... Anyway good CD and I look forward to new Fish release (I support both artists =lly)
Pink Floyd Meets Crowded House.......2007-02-20
Let it grow on you.......2007-02-12
On the first listen I was surprised it sounded so mainstream (for Marillion, anyway). Since I found the music quite pleasant, I kept playing it and kept finding layers and layers of surprises, which is quite typical from these guys. I like it a lot now, A LOT.
The world's gone mad!.......2007-01-29

Dead Ringer = Dead on Arrival.......2007-05-13
Beautiful album.......2006-07-01
Feh.......2005-07-29
This is bad. The production is bad, the tone of the guitar is godawful, Meat's voice sounds worse on this cd than any of his others by far (I know he lost his voice and was doing weird things to try to get it back. I don't hold it against him, but I'm the one that has to listen to it.) The band is fine, and I like some of the actual music. It's the song titles and lyrics that are awful.
How did this get such a bad review?.......2005-06-23

By the way, I agree with Mr. Delahanty's assessment. The music is forced & disjointed with no identifiable connecting theme. But no one's perfect. I'll bide my time until the next album appears.

A soundtrack worthy of discovery.......2007-01-08
Besides the use of the aforementioned harpsichord, Previn makes great use of frenetic strings, blaring horns, and soothing woodwinds, when necessary. The best cuts are "The Main Title," "Edie's Theme," "The Dog Attacks," "Forgery," "The Morgue," "The Police is Waiting," and "Figueroa". The jazz tunes, many available for the first time, can be heard in snippets during scenes at Edie' bar.
The jazz numbers are fittingly relaxed as a contrast to the traditional orchestral selections that pull out all the stops in a film rife with "Grand Guignol."
At just under an hour in length, the score is one that any movie music fan will treasure.
Cheesy Movie, But a Great Score.......2006-12-07
The film was released in the wake of the success of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, and Previn's compositions, particularly the title track with its harpsichord, capture all the elements of the movie, from the sensationalistic to the romantic, perhaps more effectively than the movie itself. The score is reminiscent not only of Jerry Goldsmith's scores for such early `60s anthologies as The Twilight Zone and Thriller, but presages Billy Goldenberg's scores for Columbo and Ghost Story in the early `70s as well, albeit with a bit more bounce in its step.
FSM's CD release of the soundtrack is essentially a reissue of the original soundtrack LP that was issued in 1964, augmented with eight bonus tracks consisting of unused cues and source music, mainly combo jazz. In contrast to other soundtracks, the bonus tracks are just as compelling as the rest of the album.
Jeff Eldredge's liner notes are very informative, not concentrating so much on things like the movie's gross receipts or what the critics thought as giving background on the genesis of the project and interpreting the meaning of Previn's various cues. I am curious, however, how Dead Ringer qualifies as a "Golden Age Classic" when Rio Conchos, also released in 1964, is labeled a "Silver Age Classic."
Like many a great score, André Previn's score for Dead Ringer holds our interest and is intriguing enough to almost make listeners forget the deficiencies of the movie. This package represents one of FSM's stronger releases.

I was told by a friend in Australia that kasey is HUGE and he turned me on to the Dead Ringer Band. The trick is to find a station/video channel that will play their kind of music. They're not hip hop or crappy country music. They are superb!
