Infinit Mass
After 15 years in the game, Infinite Mass released their first compilation. It's a massive affair, with one disc dedicated to the hits and one to rarer out-of-print cuts. Arranged next to each other, the jumps between electro-g-funky "Mah boyz" and Caesars-sounding "No. 1 swartskalle" can be jarring, but it shows both the musical growth and will to experiment that has been Infinite Mass' guiding star. With surprising instrumentation/samples, a sometimes lethal beat and key focus on having a good time, it may not be the most thought provoking or challenging music, but the condensed highlights can still throw a pretty decent party. The second disc falters quite often, but still contains gems like a blaxploitationish take on Kiss "Black diamond" or the twisting, stuttering "Hello", which pushes hip-hop's endless fascination with "Scarface" so far over the top that I doubt it ever will be outdone.
