Just A Little Sample.......2003-11-02
"Girls and boys, this is listening time" says the '60s-style schoolteacher on "Operation," the opening cut of Cologne's 16-track album. The introductory song does a great job of preparing the listener for the sonically adventurous ride ahead (which features cameos by popular underground Hip-Hop artists including, Pigeon John, Paul Z, Slug, Circus and Awol One). "Believe Me" is a sinister track featuring the vocal clips of Charles Manson complaining about his treatment behind bars and letting listeners into a few of his diabolical thoughts. Just when the gloom and doom of "Believe Me" is about to become overwhelming for listeners, the hopeful and upbeat "Seventy One" comes to the rescue, with a helping of Bob Marley style happiness. An instrumental track, "Seventy One" could very well be a song about the highs and lows of life or love.
"Floating Away," featuring Elias, has a hook that is reminiscent of a jovial seventies television show theme song coupled with matter-of-fact inspirational lyrics ("I'm floating away, up on a cloud one shiny day.") "Faustus' Diary" featuring Gentle Jones is a downer, providing another jarring dose of sad reality a la "Believe Me." The song sets forth a grim tale (Dr. John Faustas mutiliates a prostitute and then ends his own life) guaranteed to make the listener reflect on the darker side of life. Just when the exploration of the insane psyche is beginning to become wearing, you're brought back to reality, well "Dreality" (with special guest DJ T-Rock)-a title derived from the words "dream" and "reality." The suitably surreal music captures that Saturday morning hangover feeling exceptionally well.
"City vs. Soil" featuring Gentle Jones and Unsung is a hodgepodge of environmentally conscious punch lines and phrases certain to raise the anxiety levels of anyone concerned with the earth's well being. Or at the very least inspire Jane and John Doe to start thinking about the issue. Set to a near trance-like musical accompaniment "City vs. Soil" requires close following in order to fully comprehend the gurgle of different sounds and thoughts that make up the track.
President Bush (senior) also makes a cameo describing the Gulf war in "Sound Familiar?" The similarities between the sampled speech and his son's recent speeches surrounding the Iraqi war are downright eerie, oozing with all of the same egotism and political venom. Paired with a haunted, sci-fi beat, the track expertly captures the feel of the escalation of warfare and probably should have been titled "De Ja Vu'."
All of the tracks on this diversely styled album are vivid constructions, fitting of the colorful cover design provided for them by Minneapolis artist Corey Hanssen. Cheap Cologne isn't afraid to venture into challenging territory (musically, politically or psychologically) and seems intent on daring his listeners to follow him throughout the winding trip that is Just A Little Sample.
