* Dusted Reviews - Kid606 * (786 words)
The problem with all of this, however, is that it is not really a mash-up album at all, and to call it as such greatly discredits Kid606.
It is not horrendous, nor is it a spoiler, but its lazy fuzz is certainly incongruous and disappointing given the caliber and energy put into the album's first 3/4, and may have been better served on Kid606's next Mille Plateaux release.
However to those who fully appreciate the Tigerbeat6 mission statement, however vague it may be, it should fully satisfy as a step in an exciting, and totally new direction.
