Downtown & Brooklyn Only (CD)
Barcode: 666017026527
Downtown & Brooklyn Only is a re-issue of the first two albums by NYC duo 310 - Snorkelhouse and AUG 56 - originally released in 1998 and 1997 respectively.
Snorkelhouse - the album that got them noticed by The Leaf Label in the first place - is filled with hypnotic loops and rhythms, fusing hiphop sensibilities with shadowy found sounds and distant voices. The sound of the city beneath your feet. It has a dynamic all its own: at once dense, spacious, atmospheric, hypnogogic. You really need to let it live in your head for a while...
AUG 56 is like finding yourself up to the receding-hairline in a puddle which you'd misjudged to be ankle-deep. Proceedings get progressively darker starting with the first yards of 'Global Illage', a shadowland somewhere between :zoviet*france: and DJ Spooky.
