Prefuse 73: Surrounded by Silence

PREFUSE 73

Surrounded by Silence (Warp)

As usual, vanguard experimental beatsmith Prefuse 73--a.k.a Scott Herren--layers hip-hop beats with digital glitch until they explode with diffuse beauty. More than anything, however, this is an album of collaboration: Challenging guest spots from legendary Wu-Tang rhymer Ghostface, Blonde Redhead's Kazu Makino, and indie hip-hop mavericks like Aesop Rock and EI-P transform Prefuse's unpredictable musings into sublime sonic stunners.
