Artist:	NEBRASKA
Title:	Mixed-Up Music For Mixed-Up People
Label:	DOWN LOW MUSIC
Format:	2LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	DL NEBLP

2008 release. Nebraska is the alias of Ali Gibbs, a relatively unknown but experienced producer from the UK. His first records, released in the early '90s, were collaborations with James Mason (together best known as Headphonauts) that fused jazz, hip-hop, soundtrack and electronic music, resulting in a sound that anticipated the so-called trip-hop genre that exploded in the following years. In the late '90s, the duo shifted gears towards techno and released an album and an EP as Rei Mitsui on Russ Gabriel's Ferox label. By 2000, Ali had gone solo, releasing his first record as Nebraska on Russ' more organic disco/house Player label. On Mixed-Up Music For Mixed-Up People, Ali's wide-ranging influences and mature production skills shine. The album is full of expertly-blended cocktails of house and techno, complimented with splashes of jazz, funk, disco and soul. Check "Vicarious Disco" and "Full Deck" for majestic hypnotizers a la Paperclip People, "Further Listening" for hot & sweaty, deep jazz-funk, or "Wooden Ships" for a chilled groove with sparkling keys. Passages of soundtrack-y bliss, a few extra-smooth broken beats and a dose of hip-hop help make the album a robust and cohesive whole -- and reveal Ali as a beat-lover above all, rather than an artist of a specific genre.

Title:	Terrestrial Variations EP
Label:	RUSH HOUR (NETHERLANDS)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	RH N2-EP

Second Rush Hour release. For fans of Theo Parrish, Trus' Me, et al. Terrestrial Variations has been out-of-print for over a decade and it still sounds fresh -- 4 tracks that will surely make you swing. "My Brother" is a peak-time disco jazz cut, which has made disco floors erupt on many occasions. The original version of "My Father" continues along those lines. "Off Ramp" and "Worldless Narrative" both are cool boogie tracks, which make for another winner from Nebraska.
