Review

Q (4/00, p.90) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...[They] prove to be adept at twisting jazz and hip hop into new shapes. The first half of [the album] is playful and knowing....The second half leans towards expansive, jazz-inflected chill-out cuts....comfortably ahead of their contemporaries."
Magnet (6-7/00, p.81) - "...Delicious....Nothing really tastes bad here....whether you're dining alone or having friends over, don't be afraid to serve DJ Food."
The Wire (4/00, pp.51-2) - "...Marks a quantum leap forward....they cut adrift from any particular formula and the album is all the better for it....putting the ninja into Ninja Tune....[The album] exists in a world of its own..."
Mixmag (3/00, p.152) - 4 out of 5 - "...PC and Strictly Kev step up as head foodies, swapping scratchtastic breaks for mean jazz and moody soundtracks....this deserves your ears."
Muzik (4/00, p.83) - 4 out of 5 - "...a varied menu, where chewy jazz numbers sit next to Oriental-flavoured orchestral gems....[with] the vocal tracks [setting] this album apart..."
CMJ (5/1/00, p.23) - "...Multicolored rhythms lain over a jazz platter and accompanied by choice samples and ambient embellishments make KALEIDOSCOPE a groove lovers' feast..."

Title Note

DJ Food: P.C., Strictly Kev (DJ).

Additional personnel: Ken Nordine (spoken vocals); Jamie Tilly (bass); Bundy K. Brown (programming).

Engineers include: KVN.

On KALEIDOSCOPE, DJ Food has created a mysterious, magical journey into the possibilities of sound. For this album, the collective slimmed down to a nucleus of P.C. and Strictly Kev (founder members Matt Black and Jonathan Moore having departed to concentrate on their work in Coldcut). The result is a focussed and accessible collection incorporating jazz, hip-hop and film soundtrack ambience.

"Full Bleed" sets the pace with some mellow Fender Rhodes piano, slinky vibraphone and sumptuous moody strings. This track and others are punctuated with cut-up speech samples which could have become tiresome were it not for DJ Food's skilled approach. After the bongo Moog frenzy of "Cookin'," there's "The Angry Young Rebel," where word jazz guru Ken Nordine intones gravely over an infectious beatnik riff. The beats drop off altogether during the latter half of the album, where some of the finest moments occur. "The Sky At Night" evokes a surreal underwater world, while the soothing string-soaked "Minitoka" sounds like a warm summer evening, bringing KALEIDOSCOPE to a perfect conclusion.
