"Beta Bodega Coalition's sub division literally caught fire at their Sonar showcase with Confetti, a starring role was played in Barcelona: an acoustica / hip hop / inverted folk hybrid that startles with originality and a summertime breeze. Roberto Carlos fills the fatbacked rhythms with melodic elements, processed guitars and intricate shimmers, aided and abetted by Adam Heathcott. 'Sometimes too lucky' maintains this connection to 'real' instruments -- a lonesome guitar rides a rich bed of vibes, like an after hours jam led by the Compass Point All Stars. 'Serpent Regular' opens with a Sun Ra-ish moment, then again the stringed instruments come into focus, offering a reflective, cannily poised composition, a song. 'Yellow Kite' has to be the highlight here, fat synths like a long lost Tom Tom Club dub, out and out balearic heaven. Flip to the CD for a couple of bonus tracks -- 'Help me out now' looping a breathy vocal, over a languid, relaxed beat -- like a much funkier version of the early Tortoise sides. 'Hostas' ends with a suitably hushed tone: a Beach Boys inspired vocal, and music laying somewhere between early Mouse On Mars and the High Llamas."

"The third and fourth concluding parts of Beta Bodega Coalition's Rise & Defeat Series arrive -- a double whammy at last completing this Miami collective's scathing assault on the New World Order, criminally propounded by the so called intellectual 'elite' of the 'free' world, and executed by their all too willing brothers in the military -- industrial complex. Otto Von Schirach's guerillacore alter ego Docnuke's back and he's still seething with the fury of oil-rich, cash poor peoples, lined up like so many dominoes in a premeditated imperial world tour. The CD collects all three constituent vinyl salvos: begun late in 2003 with the Megadebt -- Misadventures In Global Domination MLP [Rb 009], continued on the latex glove 7" special Petroleum G-String [Bb13.5] and the eight track same titled vinyl released simultaneously. The breakcore psychosis stays strong, fusing bass, booty, jungle, and hip-hop to incendiary effect. This music should come to be seen as Otto's defining work...Protest and survive."
