cuming, spanking, album feat Earz, TTc, One-Two, Kehinde, Mike Ladd

****************************************************************

'Every now and then something really bizarre comes across my desk that I end up liking, and this crazy post-hip-hop group Stacs of Stamina is one of them. Stacs is into some seriously weirdo electro-based crunked up stuff - MCs Johan, marcusgraap and Gesan providing bizarre flow over heady, 8-bit electronic beats and vicious synths, and in the case of this track some more strange elements like some kind of (real or synth?) flute. weird, seriously weird.'

'let me just clear one thing up right now - stacs of staminas new album tivoli is one of the best albums of 2005. easy. and with it comes a hilarious new genre classification - euro-crunk. crunk was born from southern usa, so it seems truly fucked up to find that seemingly unique sensibility transplanted to northern europe yet here it is - proving once more that music knows no borders. it also proves just how dramatic crunk can be when we take some of the less agile MCs out of the equation. in tivoli, we hear not only from stacs themselves (johan, marcus and gesan), but also from mike ladd, the never-less-than-inspiring french crew ttc and grime MC ears. after a softer start, the album kicks into high gear halfway through and propels this release into the must-own category - at once both deliciously deft and deleriously blunt, tivoli sets an impossible standard against which future challengers will . do the decent thing and do what i was compelled to do; round up your hard-earned pennies and buy this album.'
