DJ Spooky - Rekonstruction (feat. Organized Konfusion)

del.icio.us

Artist: DJ Spooky feat. Organized Konfusion
Song: Rekonstruction

I'll have this song up for a few weeks.
This song is off of DJ Spooky's Riddum Warfare album. It features Organized Konfusion, which is made up of Pharoahe Monch and Prince Po. Organized Konfusion is my favorite music act and I posted this track to introduce some people to the group, and also because some fans may not have heard this track either, since it isn't on their albums. Anyways, this track has, as DJ Spooky says in the beginning, abstract lyrics, which compliment the spacey beat to make a spacey-ass song. I love Organized Konfusion because of their ability to make great songs over simple beats through their lyrics and flow. They had only 3 albums, all great, before breaking up in 1997. They are still good friends, which keeps fans like me waiting on a reunion album, which they constantly hint at. I found a blog entry that has some songs by Organized Konfusion free for listening, and also offers some insight into the songs. It is a good introduction if you'd like to be introduced to the group. Especially heavy on the lyrics are the songs "Invetro" and "Hate," found near the middle of the blog. And if you want to hear one of the greatest battle verses ever, listen to "Bring It On."
