Review

Spin (12/00, p.228) - 8 out of 10 - "...All stylistic juxtapositions, sophisticated arrangements, and sweet songcraft....Nigo curates APE SOUNDS like a true connoisseur..."
Entertainment Weekly (10/20/00, p.78) - "...Alongside rappers who sling rhymes over Chinese orchestras(!), Nigo's odd jukebox features My Bloody Valentine-style guitar drones and cocktail-lounge dub..." - Rating: B
Magnet (1-2/01, pp.101-2) - "...Throws pastiched trip hop into the Air and lets the Sylk-en soul and scratchy swatches Fall where they may....If this coat of many [Living] Colors sound a bit much, it is - happily, too. Nigo never misses a stitch or a beat."
CMJ (12/00, p.66) - "...A boutique-ier version of another [Mo'Wax pal James] Lavelle project, U.N.K.L.E.'s ungainly, celebrity-gridlocked, jockin'-Mike-D-to-evrybody's-dismay album PSYENCE FICTION..."

Album Description

Orchestrated by Japanese clothing entrepreneur, DJ, and general tastemaker Nigo, this collection of hip electronic eclecticism reflects the varied influences of the posse that the Tokyo-based auteur has surrounded himself with. By roping in Mo Wax label founder James Lavelle for a Planet of the Apes sample fest ("March of the General") and Beastie Boys keyboardist Money Mark for the laid-back Cornershop-like groove of "A Simple Song," Nigo proves his deft ability to canvas talent and extract exceptional product. No better example of his astute solicitations exists here than the space rock vibe of "Freediving," featuring Australian wunderkind Ben Lee. The only time that the formula collapses slightly is during "Kung Fu Fightin," when the awkward rapping exposes Nigo's modus operandi a bit too clearly. Nigo, like many Western culture hawks from the East, illustrates here that his work is largely not about homegrown aesthetics as it about keen acquisition. ~ JoE Silva
