Free Music Notes for Beat Konducta Vol. 3-4: In India
Free Music Review: Dope Camel Rides and Sitar Battles
Hit: 5 Stars
Any madlib fan will definetly not be disappointed in this one. A mixture of that raw, street level head noddin' type stuff lib drops, along with the extremely odd but undeniably catchy beats to. I'm not the deepest Lib fan, but have been able ta cop his work on the Madvillain project and the Quasimoto alum "The Unseen". This isn't quite like those two releases but brings sum of the same ideas with alot of differences also.
You get alot of sitars, high-end strings, and organ and piano strolls(which remind me of sum West Coast stuff from 96 like "Masala"), plus Madlib's signature heavy bass and crazy procussions and odd movie samples(this time the majority of them are spoken in Hindi I believe. It's a good pick up for Lib fans, fans of hip-hop in general, and anybody lookin for a touch of something different.
Overall- 97/100
Dopest- Shah Sound, No Sitar, Main Title, Dark Alley...,Accordion for Raj, Indian Deli, Indian Hump, Get It Right, Masala
Falloffs- Dancing Girl's Theme
Free Music Review: I LOVE THIS
Hit: 5 Stars
Just wanted to say that I LOVE THIS CD. Ordinarily, the presence of any vocals at all tend to ruin instrumental CDs for me...but in this case, the presence of some vocals here and there do not detract from the excellence of these mystical dub-like beats. The snippiets of "Baliwood" Indian movie music only spice things up in a good, exotic way. My favorite track is Track 2. Man, that's one powerfully mystical beat...but the whole CD is very good.Free Music Review: Madlib Does It Again!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I preordered the day before the release, 2 days later it was in the box waitin for me !! I was as amped to check this modern day collage of beats, and soundscapes as much as the first Beat Konducta LP!!! They both are a must for any Instru"mental" fan out there! If you havent yet got a copy I highly recommend it to any serious hip-hop fan!

Free Music Review: BEAUTIFUL!
Hit: 4 Stars
'Mad'deningly beautiful in a weird sort of way. His expansion into Indian samples is awesomely different. Madlib done done it again!Free Music Review: Well Worth Your Hard-Earned Rupees...
Hit: 5 Stars
Another solid release from Mr. Otis Jackson, Jr...the man keeps impressing. I cannot help but laugh when I hear all the laudatory remarks about Kanye West - speeding up old soul tracks and sampling Daft Punk qualifies as groundbreaking these days...how tragic.
What makes this release all the more impressive, apart from its infectious beats, is its concept. Can you name anyone else in the rap, hip-hop, whatever you want to call it game that has released a concept album? I cannot (off the top of my head at 9 in the morning). Beat Konducta Vol. 3-4: In India is essentially 34 instrumental tracks using music/vocals/speaking parts from Indian cinema. It may sound strange at first, but please give it a chance. I was less than satisfied at first listen but the more I listened, the more I enjoyed. As with all of Madlib's releases, one must be attentive, as if listening to Bach or Bill Evans, to truly appreciate its genius.
