MF DOOM
MA DOOM : Son Of Yvonne
Produced Entirely By MF DOOM - Following The Success Of Two Collaborative Releases (EMC “The Show”/2008 And Ace & Edo G “Arts & Entertainment” /2009), Masta Ace Joins Forces With The Metal Faced MF Doom For Son Of Yvonne, A Highly Personal Concept Album That Celebrates The Life And Legacy Of Ace’s Recently Departed Mother. Like His 2004 Landmark Disposable Arts, Son Of Yvonne Is Meticulously Constructed With Stories, Settings, And Characters That Resonate With Flesh And Bone Humanity. Interstitial Vignettes Provide A Thematic Backbone To The Experience, And Each Track Complements And Completes The Previous To Form A Narrative Whole: A Sometimes Visceral, Sometimes Nostalgic Slice Of Ace’s Young Life In Brownsville, Brooklyn.
Entirely Underscored By MF Doom’s Iconic Special Herbs Instrumentals, Son Of Yvonne Features The Juice Crew General Big Daddy Kane, New Comers Pav Bundy (The Bundies), Reggie B And Even MF Doom On The Mic. It’s Masta Ace’s No Frills Flow, However, That Looms Largest Above The Dusty Samples And Digger Loops That Define Doom’s Production. Ace’s Photo-Realistic Rhymes About Stick-Up Kids, Spraycan Artists And Wack Emcees Add Extra Gravity To His Already Celebrated Reputation As “Truly An Under-Appreciated Rap Veteran And Underground Luminary” (Allmusic Guide). Like Eminem Recalls In His 2008 Autobiography The Way I Am, “Masta Ace Had Amazing Storytelling Skills. His Thoughts Were So Vivid.”

Fire!
Defeat
Not the most optimistic title for pressing times, but the music sees Fire! tracking new paths and reaching new levels of excellence, still honoring their 12 year old vow of presenting a fresh approach to improvised music. Their debut album, You Liked Me Five Minutes Ago, was released in 2009 to wide international acclaim. Between this and Defeat there´s been five albums, including collaborations with Jim O´Rourke (Unreleased?, 2011) and Oren Ambarchi (In The Mouth A Hand, 2012). No two Fire! records sound the same, but with Defeat they have taken their biggest leap so far, with Gustafsson giving the flute a prominent place in the sound image, a surprising and most successful move, his both expressive and ornamental approach given ample room to breathe, especially on the two long tracks bookending the album. In places more subdued than on previous efforts, but with the distinctive bass figures and hypnotic mood fully intact. There are some lively stretches with guests Goran Kajfes and Mats Aleklint, bringing to mind their big band offshoot Fire! Orchestra, albeit on a smaller scale.
