***The humble godfather of goth-hop and once-unsung seminal ironman of anticon, alias avenges the downtrodden and abused producer-rapper. Composing music from his deepest shades, this irrefutable jack of all trades drops anchor with a debut solo full length intended to serve as hiphop's response to a Stevie Wonder record, with virtually all writing, composition, and production created by the artist himself. This collection of introspective lyrics rapped over ethereal, minor-chord drones, dark samples, and aggressive, dubbed-out drum beats was recorded in home studios between December 1998 and October 2001. The production is rainy-day contemplative and rhythmically menacing, and the mixes sound simultaneously calculated and spontaneous. As a complete record, the other side of the looking glass is serious and consistent, leaving the listener on the see-through side of a two-way-mirror with a clear sense of what it is to be alias.
HOLY MOUNTAIN
Artist: DAVIS REDFORD TRIAD Title: Mystical Path Of The Number Eighty Six
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 HOLY8655CD
Price: $12.00 Label: Holy Mountain
Release
Date:		 5/20/02
Holy Mountain released the first LP by Steven Wray Lobdell's Davis Redford Triad in the spring of 1997, following Lobdell's release from a mental institution and return to playing the guitar. The music just poured out of him. The heavy psychedelic guitar compositions on The Mystical Path-- think Takayanagi Masayuki backed by a Crazy Horse-like force attempting a "version" of Sun Ra's "The Invisible Shield" with organ, analog synth and various other electronics - managed to pull down maximum sky. Since that time, Lobdell has recorded two more albums for Holy Mountain and has produced two albums by Hochenkeit. After the purchase of a tapedeck similar to the one used for this recording, Mr. Lobdell located a few tracks presumed lost and became inspired to remix the entire album. This reissue restores the original sequence of the album and has new liner notes written by Lobdell. In addition, Holy Mountain is also pleased to announce an East Coast tour by the band to coincide with the reissue of this remarkable album.
MASSMEN

Release
Date:		 5/20/02
***Project Blowed has long been a beacon for hip hoppers worldwide looking for something beyond the status quo. The emcees who have come out of Project Blowed have proven themselves to be true lyricists and/or griots trapped in a time where style and intellect are grossly underappreciated. Fat Jack, the most dynamic producer of the L.A. underground, has spent his career cultivating a unique musical sound to match each emcee's brilliant style, and now Massmen re-releases this 39-track anthem to the L.A.underground (and to hip hop itself). Cater to the DJ is the bridge between the heads who like strictly boom bap and the heads who look for more style in a hip hop song. Featuring the talents of Aceyalone, Medusa, Awol One, Abstract Rude, Volume 10, P.E.A.C.E., and many others, this 2xCD is finally home on Massmen, a label that caters to heads of all curvatures.
