Beneath The Planet Of The Breaks

Sample CD

I've applied the same high production values and modus operandi to this sequel folks. I concluded that the beat junky monkeys amongst you wanted more raw breaks(i.e. without additional programming and processing etc.) so with that in mind I've delivered a higher ratio of raw breaks to processed ones. Restriking the balance if you will. You'll also notice a few more uptempo breaks and more flavas than you can shake a proverbial drum stick at. There are two different formats of loops on "Beneath The Planet of The Breaks"- there are beats that play for approximatey two minutes(these have additonal sonic treatments and so on), and shorter sixteen-bar ones. - Shawn Lee, creator of Beneath The Planet of The Breaks and the best selling Planet of The Breaks.

FIVE STAR ***** REVIEW: "Cool, twisted and sickeningly infectious funk drumming... As with the first disc, instead of tons of short two- or four-bar loops, what we get can best be described as a series of extended drum and percussion performances. These can last anything between 30 seconds to upwards of two minutes, and as before the selling point is that the loops expand, evolve and develop as you work your way through each track. Stylistically, BTPOTB covers a pretty impressive range of musical territories -- as illustrated by the tempo listings, which range from 60 to 180bpm. As before, the emphasis is always on the groove and feel of each loop, on creating something with feeling and character. The performances are spot-on, and it's refreshing to hear a drummer with such a keen and obvious interest in exploring the more experimental side of his craft. Lee employs strange electronic effects, vinyl scratches, vocal bits and bizarre signal-processing techniques as easily as other drummers would give you a tom roll. In short, this is a 21st-century sample CD that probably says more about the future of creative drumming than most other releases put together. ***** 5 stars out of 5." (Sound On Sound)
