Please note this is an old page and Fly Global Music has now moved. Please follow this link and search for the entry in the new site. I know what you’re thinking. It’s about time we heard some new material from Balanced Records but can an album by the Electric Nosehair Orchestra as ‘conducted’ by DJ Brace possibly match up to past glories of Link Pins and Pleasure From Precision? Well, as we have seen from other releases this month by RZA (as Bobby Digital) and Living Legends, all styles of old skool are back and DJ Brace is fills these 14 tracks with lost crate diggin’ sounds and other samples that you’ve never heard into a DJ Shadowy trip-hop way (yep, trip hop is also back) whilst leaving out the overused scratchin’ techniques. What is Nostomanian (pronounced nos-tuh-mey-nee-uh)? We’re told is a noun meaning:- But it’s not all soundtrack, vocal samples and hip-hop beats as ‘NH10’ get alls reminiscent of Asian influenced d’n’b whilst ‘NH12’ gets to the back woods with some finger pickin’ banjo with the flute solo floating above. But really, it’s an album to listen to as a whole rather than cherry picking tracks (again, you could say that of Flying Lotus’ Los Angeles). Balanced say that you will rediscover “fleeting moments in time” with Nostomania and you know what, you’ll know exactly what they mean whether you think of this as electronica or instrumental hip-hop. I don’t care if DJ Brace doesn’t care if we make a value judgements on what he does (‘NH7’), this is a great album that only 10 years plus of being a turntablist, producer, DMC Champion DJ and sound connoisseur can achieve. He’s paid his dues and deserves his rewards; go and support. Hectic Mix nominations; NH4, NH9, NH13 Reviewed: DJ Brace Presents: The Electric Nosehair Orchestra In Nostomania (Balanced Records) Cat.
