LOVELY, BUT IT IS NOT AS INTERESTING AS THE FIRST ONE.......2007-02-15

oh, it is still lovely, but the first one is soooooooooooo much better to me. i agree with one of the reviewers about doing too much.......way to much. however, it is still an enjoyable listen. i love what he did with showbiz and a.g.'s FAT POCKETS on FATBACKS. that blew me away and made me blow the dust off RUNAWAY SLAVE. there are some welcoming listens on here, but i strongly recommend THE UNSEEN.

Lord Quas does it again........2006-10-18

5 years after releasing the seminal-classic, The Unseen, Madlib came back to his alter-ego with a larger fanbase. He picked up quite a few fans through the Madvillain project, which showed heads he wasn't just acclaimed by alternative music circle, but could appeal to even the strictest of heads. With arguably twice the fanbase, Madlib took another dose of heelium, and gave us The Further Adventures Of Lord Quas.

This album is just as absurd as its predecessor; and while it may not be quite AS dope as The Unseen, it is still a classic in its own right. Much like It Was Written is to Illmatic, Quasi released a classic sophomore album, which deserved tons of critical acclaim, but didn't garner it, because critics were expecting another Unseen. While the formula is the same, there are subtle differences in between the two albums that set them apart from one another, and make The Unseen slightly better; still, this release on its own deserves no less than five stars.

Quasimoto still sounds like a mix of Q-Tip and Eminem on this album in flow, and sounds like an incredibly stoned Kool Keith lyrically. He's greener than a head of lettuce on this release, and gives you even more suburban jazz with his production. You're not going to bump this in your ride, no, but when you need an album to take you to a farawar land where everyone is tripping off of shrooms, and listening to scat records, this is one of the finest choices you could make this side of The Unseen.

If you're familiar with Madlib, then this album won't be difficult to get into; even though it'll still be weird as hell. It may make no sense to you at first, and even after repeated listens, it becomes more and more clear that the stuff Quasi spits only makes sense in Madlib's warped mind. Perhaps if your mind is equally warped, you'll be able to enjoy this even more than the average music critic; I know I did.

What?.......2006-09-05

The first Quasimoto album is in my top 20 faves of all time. I thought it was a masterpiece when I first bought it and I love it more the more I hear it. Thats rare. I dont understand the love for this album here. The Further Adventures. Am I not hearing this album correctly or what. These rave reviews are killing me. This was one of the most unfocused albums I have ever heard. I forced myself to sit through this album 3 times before making my decition. This album is absolute garbage!!!! There is not one cut that gets play in my ride or in my studio. The Unseen was so inventive. It had style. It had creativity and the beat selections where outstanding.Great samples to some great breaks. It worked just right. I think Madlib did too much of a good thing on his second album here. He tried to take The Unseen out a little further. Big mistake. TO MUCH OF A GOOD THING IS NOT A GOOD THING!!!!! He over did it. I dont think you could even call this an album. Its more like a series of 2 minute sloppy skits and tracks that are not all that interesting.Being weird isnt enough. It has to be good too. Go back and listen to The Unseen from front to back. Then do Further Adventures. If you dont see the damage he did to his style then you are just raving because you like Madlib. He is one of the best to ever do it but even he can mess up. Lets get real people.

The hype surrounding Quasimoto's 2000 debut album, The Unseen, rendered Madlib (aka Lord Quas, aka Otis Jackson Jr., aka DJ Rels, aka Monk Hughes) as a forever stoned, twenty-four hour beathead unable to function outside of his private basement studio. The albums' curious, multi-personality design had much of the hip-hop press wondering if Madlib was okay; the rock press, however, loved it. Was this another case of the alternative press turning a hip-hop act into a novelty, or were folks really grasping what Madlib was trying to do while standing on stage dressed as a six foot tall yellowish, furry, snouted creature?
Eventually word surfaced that while working on multiple serious projects, Madlib pieced together his Quasimoto concept on the side, never planning to release it. The story goes that Stones Throw owner/Madlib landlord Peanut Butter Wolf talked Jackson into taking a chance and releasing what was at the time perhaps the most daring hip-hop album to see widespread distribution. In the years since, Madlib has become arguably the most creative and prolific figure in underground hip-hop. And Lord Quas? He's done a nice job of dividing hip-hop fans with his lunacy, and believe it or not, he's back for more mischief with his unimaginable sophomore album, The Further Adventures of Lord Quas.
Spread out over twenty-six tracks, Adventures plays out more like a Captain Beefheart or Frank Zappa project than your typical rap release. Using more samples than any standard ten rap albums combined, Madlib has created an ambitious sound menagerie that can hardly keep it's focus long enough to ever hit the two minute mark. Mixing oddball samples, vocal experiments, various sound-bites, and other unidentifiable sources with beats and an occasional rap, Jackson doesn't tell a story, but further sculpts the world he shares with his high-pitched alter-ego Lord Quas.
So what exactly is Quas like, you ask? First off, he is the bad character. Much like Madlib, Quas is a big fan of the greens. In fact, similar to The Unseen, Adventures often feels like a testament to the raw creative madness that can be brought on by a little bit of reefer, or in Jackson's case, a boat load. Rather than exploring themes, Madlib focuses on style and attitude, spending the glut of his time developing the personality of his all-too-bored studio partner Quasimoto.
Equal parts funny and confusing, Adventures is not for the everyday rap (or rock) listener. In fact, Adventures isn't for the everyday mind. With repeat listens, the beats start setting in and the subtle themes and jokes become lovably novel. Believe it or not, the vocal effects, bothersome as they may first seem, might even start to make sense. Quas is not here to be easy, Madlib makes that very clear from beginning to end with only the single, "Rappcats Pt.3," coming off as accessible.
Often times feeling more like a hip-hop version of a Cheech and Chong film, Adventures retains a high entertainment value throughout; that is, if you realize before pressing play that you are in store for a wholly madcap listening encounter. Jackson already has a number of first-rate hip-hop and jazz albums under his belt; to some, Adventures is just another peep into Madlib, hip-hop's current classic character, and his studio shadow, Lord Quas, the bad character.
