SHAKE / SHERARD / KENNY / CARL.
Urban Tribe's still most recent LP from 2010 was a return to the kinda impossible-to-pigeonhole form of their legendary first album "The Collapse of Modern Culture" on Mo Wax back in '98, after two full lengths of angular Electro futurism on Rephlex which we're guessing Stingray was mostly responsible for! Released on KDJ's own Mahogani Music, "Urban Tribe" is perhaps best known for having one of the greatest (if crushingly short) opening tracks of any electronic LP since the millennium, and pretty much came out of the blue to remind us that four of Detroit's greatest could still fuck around with a wealth of inspiration and influences and knock out something totally unique and often pretty bizarre that also sounds like all of them all at once. Moodymann's fever-dream grooves, Shake's unmistakable sample flipping style, Stingray's audacious drums and Carl Craig's utopian pads & glistening melodies are all present and devastatingly correct here, always leaving you wanting more!
This is not a repress - warehouse find copies, as new!
