"If anything, Antipop Consortium's real achievement was to prove that hip-hop did not have to be a violation of the event of thinking. The group was lauded for its word wars and cerebral excursions into disintegrating beatscapes that liberated listeners from the braindead habits created by a decade of all-to-predictable postures and sounds. Now slimmed-down, Airborn Audio, featuring producer/emcees High Priest & M. Sayyid has reevaluated its stance, and spent the past eight months in the studio lab-ing out with a newfound precision and a new kind of savage love for their work. M Sayyid and High Priest plunge headlong into competing reference points and clashing styles, mining both high-brow poetic tantrums and ecstatically obtuse jingles -- what emerges is a sequence of pan-cultural aphorisms that sound something like the happy bastard of Sun Ra, Luc Ferrari era-musique concrete, and Moondog freestyling on an acid-fueled bender."

"Remember Anti Pop Consortium? Course you do. 1/3rd of the group, Beans, has already relaunched himself to a successful solo career doing his best NY art-punk hip-hop thing. But what of the other 2/3rds...High Priest & Sayyid have been laying low in the studio and getting the street level excitement going for their new incarnation, Airborn Audio. In some ways they're picking up where Anti-Pop left off, but taking that experimental approach and balancing with a sense of 'proper' song crafting, i.e catchy as fuck but still out there."
