DJ Spooky (aka That Subliminal Kid)-- The Secret Song (2009)

The newest release from one of music's most exciting and mercurial artist: DJ Spooky-aka That Subliminal Kid is just as exciting as his other releases. With The Secret Song, he swings full force back towards his hiphop roots, constructing a strange combo of hardcore and triphop beats and mishmash, sprinkled liberally with all those awesome ear bending little tweaks and twitters which his diehard fans (myself included) love about his albums. One can never be bored with DJ Spooky's compositions, as he does an instrumental cover of the metal classic Dazed and Confused and then offers a blissful electro dub song and then a song rapped in Mandarin Chinese! Seriously, who else in the Western world would even think to do such? Guests artists this time around include Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and The Jungle Brothers and more. If you like the eclectic stylings of groups like The Gorillaz, you'll dig on The Secret Song.
