€34.00
Catalogue : Big Cat / ABB 46 X
Format : LP, Vinyl, Reissue.
Condition : Used / Near Mint / Near Mint
Country : UK
Released : 1993
Genre : Trip Hop, Acid Jazz
The debut EP "In Search of Manny" by Luscious Jackson was the first release on Beastie Boyes indie label Grand Royal. Luscious Jackson came from the same New York underground scene where punkers and rappers ran in concentric club circles. Where the Beasties rooted themselves firmly in hip-hop, Luscious Jackson used its rhythms as a launching pad for a music that is elastic, casually expansive, darkly seductive, and perfectly realized on "In Search of Manny". Although hip-hop beats underpin all seven songs on this EP and leaders Jill Cunniff and Gabby Glaser rap as often as they sing, it's difficult to call this rap, since the songs follow pop form, the samples are for texture and color, not groove, and the aesthetic is slacker bohemia.
