Artist: HIEROGLYPHIC BEING
Title: Guidance/Direction EP
Label: APNEA (SPAIN)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: APNEA 017EP
"Hieroglyphic Being, one of the most respected artists by the Apnea crew, has blessed us with an amazing release; two highly emotional tracks, challenging electronic dance music that stimulates body, soul and mind. 'I Got Enough Love 4 U & Me' (A side) is a melodic and intense piece of music that engages the listener in a delightful trip; 'Kilometer Zero' (B side) is a rhythmic, wild and raw track. Both of them have that special experimental feeling that is the imprint of Hieroglyphic Being's sound. As minimal techno plunders the ashes of Chicago's jack track aesthetic, Jamal Moss (aka Hieroglyphic Being) represents another deviation of the classic house sound. Mentored by Chicago legends Adonis and Steve Poindexter, Moss' tracks recall the sort of wild experimentation that can only be achieved through limited resources. Armed with little more than a couple drum machines and budget mixers, the typical Hieroglyphic Being 12" stands in stark contrast to the clinical style of laptop production. Squashed, clipped, noisy and raw. Moss' work serves as a reminder that musical evolution can come from unlikely sources."

Title: Conversations In a Analog Dialect EP
Label: KLANG ELEKTRONIK (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $10.00
Catalog #: KLANG 093EP
"Please welcome Mr. Jamal R. Moss aka Hieroglyphic Being. The Chicago native and part of the Dirty Criminals crew shows some of his talent on this 4 track EP for Klang Elektronik. No longer a personal tip with releases on Spectral Sound and Jeff Mills' Axis imprint, this piece of vinyl shows what the Chicago House sound once stood for and where it is nowadays."


Artist: HIEROGLYPHIC BEING
Title: Machines For Lovers
Label: SPECTRAL SOUND
Format: 12"
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: SPC 012EP
"Jamal Moss, part of Chicago's elite Dirty Criminals crew (whose debut on Gigolo Records is imminent) delivers his first 12" for Spectral Sound. A deep and jacking look at classic house/techno sculptures, HB has tapped into the raw source material. Inspired by Ron Hardy, and literally educated by Adonis and Steve Poindexter, Hieroglyphic carries the torch of Chicago's history and does so in dramatic fashion."


Artist: HIEROGLYPHIC BEING
Title: Liquid Sex EP
Label: SPECTRAL SOUND
Format: 12"
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: SPC 027EP
"Jamal Moss of Chicago's Dirty Criminals crew drops his second 12" on Spectral Sound under the Hieroglyphic Being moniker. Liquid Sex is a further investigation of the classic Chicago House sound; the title cut bathes in echoes as melodic elements are gradually added, making for a deceptively gorgeous slow burn, while 'Lost In Translation' bases its whip-crack beat around a plinking melody and mutating vocal sample."
