Artist: SOLE
Title: Bottle Of Humans
Label: ANTICON
Format: CD
Price: $15.00
Catalog #: ABR 011CD
"Bottle of Humans, Sole's debut full length release on Anticon, and his first widely distributed record, was released in 1999 and quickly became a cult-classic, but by the year 2001 the record's initial pressing went out of print due to a dispute with Anticon's previous distributor. The bootlegging is finally over. This highly anticipated CD reissue has been re-mastered, the record's artwork has been revitalized the way it was originally intended (including the album's lyrics in the liner notes) and its track listing has been slightly altered. Bottle of Humans combines the anger and conviction of early Ice Cube with Sole's own brand of self-deprecating honesty. Whether he's lashing out at the hypocrisy of 'the industry' or celebrating the sad state of his own life, you know it's coming from his heart, it sounds big, and you believe every word of it. Looking and sounding better than ever, Bottle of Humans is classic, vintage Sole. Features production from Alias, Jel, Daddy Kev, Raggity Andy, Scott Matelic, Odd Nosdam, and Controller 7."

Title: Salt On Everything
Label: ANTICON
Format: 12"
Price: $6.50
Catalog #: ABR 024EP
"Although it might seem impossible, sole has been resurrected from the dead once again and he sounds even more jaded and fed up than ever. sole maintains his complex delivery and original style but this single demonstrates that he has refined everything he does so well. In his signature hoarse voice, sole assaults hard, brooding tracks from anticon producers odd nosdam, alias, and jel with that characteristic honesty, sincerity and a touch of endearing self-pity. Features an exclusive track with Sage Francis."

Title: Selling Live Water
Label: ANTICON
Format: CD
Price: $15.50
Catalog #: ABR 026CD
"Twenty-five, bookless, bored, obsessive, hypocritical, barb-witted, full of shit, and horrified by the war machine; what else could this outspoken tangle of contradictions do but make the next classic rap album? Sole lives out a perpetual identity crisis so we don't have to, surfacing each of his past lives in his music: the 13-year-old Ice Cube from Maine, the Lord Finesse-styled battle MC who ruled open mics in New England, the hyperactive San Francisco transplant consumed with the idea of anticon, and finally the sagacious mid-twenties writer who hums Dylan and guns for Bush."

Price: $15.00
Catalog #: ABR 026LP
Double LP Version


Artist: SOLE
Title: Plutonium - Selling Live Water
Label: ANTICON
Format: 12"
Price: $7.00
Catalog #: ABR 030EP
"Plutonium, the follow-up 12" to Sole's acclaimed full length Selling Live Water has finally arrived. The title track remixes the classic, Alias-produced Sole anthem about searching for truth in left- and right-wing propaganda in the press. Alias remixes his own beat down to its teeth, creating a Blade Runner eeriness to sole's already dark ponderings. For the second track, Odd Nosdam remixes his original contribution to Sole's full length, the title track 'Selling Live Water'. Nosdam's remix puts Sole's vocals in the forefront, while maintaining that tape-dubbed dirtiness characteristic of Nosdam's sound."


Artist: SOLE
Title: New Single
Label: ANTICON
Format: 12"
Price: $7.00
Catalog #: ABR 047EP
"Fueled by his relocation to Barcelona, Spain, and subsequent touring of war-torn Eastern Europe, Sole returns with a new record and a new perspective. Backed by a host of all-star Anticon producers, The New Single preps the world for his highly anticipated, third studio album, Live From Rome. The critically acclaimed Selling Live Water turned Sole's focus from industry rants and self-deprecation to political observation and social commentary."

Title: Live from Rome
Label: ANTICON
Format: CD
Price: $15.00
Catalog #: ABR 048CD
"And so Sole re-emerges roughly two years after the aesthetic and critical breakthrough of his second album, Selling Live Water, having moved to Spain, married, and continued to refine his inimitable blurring of sarcasm and bone-dry honesty. The lion's share of the music is, like Selling Live Water, laid down by odd nosdam and alias, but Sole has noticeably changed: the enflamed and verbose jeremiads of Selling Live Water have cooled slightly into a more reflective -- and effortlessly funny -- simmer. Live from Rome, recorded and produced both in Oakland, California, and Barcelona, Spain -- no, it's not a live recording -- has heavier hooks and a noticeably broader palette, moving from upbeat, half-serious vegan anthems to the half-kidding faux Eminem."
