sivion.mood.enhancement

uploaded from flickr.

we first received a set of songs from this cat about 2 years ago, on a CD labeled, well, “mood enhancement”. it contained a gang of lovely, yet unpolished hip hop tracks that immediately caught my fancy–i knew he was on to something–jazzy and futuristic beats with raps that didn’t come off pretensious. exactly up my alley. fast forward 2 years, and the album has thickened, been reworked, and it’s difficult for me to comprehand that the time has passed and yet i still have yet to hear anything of this ilk.

how many hip hoppers do you know that produce and play the sax (right there in left field ~3.2mb) and rap, and do all of them equally as well? even sings okay too :) (easy flow ~2.1mb)

still the “new” member of the deepspace5 crew — sivion brings you what i’ve been bumping in the car every day for the past month — mood enhancement. it’s been a long while since i’ve heard a hip hop album i can listen to from front to back.

order it from illect direct.

according to legend, an e-card with more tracks to sample will be up at illect.com (new site ready to come out the gate!)
