Artist:	THE HERBALISER
Title:	Something Wicked This Way Comes
Label:	NINJA TUNE (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	ZEN 064CD

"Emotive words from the distant past applied to the invention of something wholly of the now. Herein, episode four, featuring 13 monster chapters of verse, rhyme and riff. The Herbaliser's Jake Wherry and Ollie Teeba weigh in with all the required and acquired experience, ability and know how, to produce arguably their finest album work to date. Sample based dons they remain. Although, this time round many of the samples are their own and the dons tag extends out to the family of musicians and collaborators whose arrangements helped shape this extraordinary LP."

Title:	Herbal Blend
Label:	NINJA TUNE (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$22.00
Catalog #:	ZEN 083CD

"The Herbaliser are ace production duo Jake Wherry and Ollie Teeba and they have two distinct sides to their story. There's the many headed funk machine that is The Herbaliser live band that has rocked sweaty crowds worldwide and then there's the rootsier 4 deck show with head honchos Jake & Ollie just mashing things up old school DJ style. On this CD you get them in DJ mode showcasing their influences and favorites and, hell, just tracks that sounded good with the other tracks. The chaps take us on a whirlwind tour dropping everything from spooky film soundtracks, classic hip hop, greasy funk, go-go and even party monsters like 'Groove Is In The Heart'. All beautifully mixed with the Solid Steel extras you've come to expect like custom made tracks, edits, special intros and plenty of scratchy biznizz."

Title:	Take London
Label:	NINJA TUNE (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	ZEN 098CD

"The Herbaliser return and, like the legitimate sons of the king banished by the evil bastard, they're taking back everything which is rightly theirs. Yes, that's the whole of London. Over the last decade Jake Wherry and Ollie Teeba have established themselves as one of the most innovative and reliable production duos to come out of the UK's hip hop scene. And this has been achieved, in part, by the kind of constant self-improvement which means Take London is their best album yet. You can hear it on the instrumental tracks on the record -- the tender, angry 'Song For Mary,' the electro-influenced 'Gadget Funk' (where you can almost imagine them dragging their old bits of lino out), the wah-guitared space funk of 'Kittyknapper,' the chase scene jazz of 'Geddim' ' and the epic, orchestral 'Sonofanothamutha'. The attention to detail, the love of sixties soundtrack and library records, all mixed up with a dose of geezer front and B-boy charisma."
