The Herbaliser
Thanks for your patience. This has been quite a week -- been sick, massive amounts of work, girl troubles -- but things strangely turned around right when the new Herbaliser showed up in the mailbox. Now, while some of you cooler-than-thou fairweather fans have traded your downtempo crates for every grime 12" out there, some of us older heads love us a nostalgic look back at Ninjas finest in-house band. Fuck, if you rock Buffalo NY, you deserve all the praise in the world and that's just what Jake Wherry and Ollie Teeba did back in the day (not to be confused with Ollie & Jerry of "There's No Stopping Us" fame). They put on a hell of a show every time they hit the stage and their newest is a bit of the old, the new and just about everything in between (Jean Grae is back and in fine form as well. And Roots Manuva too. What, what?). "Gadget Funk" is a huge, slab of gently-massaged Kobe funk, with a dripping side of hot-buttered, fattened electrofuzz grizzle. Dance floors? Unsafe. Headphones? Need a better pair. Nice to see the old men can still do the do with the best of 'em. Look out for what will surely be Ninja's crowning jewel of 2005.
