Review

The Wire (1/00, p.67) - Included in Wire Magazine's "50 Records Of The Year ['99]"
The Wire (9/99, p.54) - "...People will undoubtedly enjoy USSR LIFE FROM THE OTHER SIDE as a top flight HipHop album. But the real joy comes in watching Vadim simultaneously acknowledging his B-boy roots while laying waste to their boundaries..."
Alternative Press (11/99, p.128) - 3 out of 5 - "...The music's complex....a vision of an informed musical globalism."
Muzik (10/99, p.102) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Vadim pledges allegiance to old skool crate-digging and cut & paste techniques, veering from electro funk workouts...through Kraftwerk samples...to the jazz-infused 'Revolution'. Cooler than a Moscow December."
CMJ (11/8/99, p.20) - "...proves that Vadim has established himself as one of the most creative beatminers on the European circuit..."

Product note

Personnel includes: DJ Vadim, El-P, BMS, Iriscience, Swollen Members, Blu Rum 13, Moshun Man, Mr. Thing, First Rate, Noid, Dug Infinite, Blade, DJ Primecuts, Skinnyman, Starvin Artists, Sarah Jones, Toastie Taylor, Mucho Mu, Killer Kela.
DJ Vadim emerged from behind the Iron Curtain and settled in London, bringing a talent for Eastern Bloc academic posturing to U.K. hip-hop's volatile verbalism. After establishing his reputation with unique turntable tricks and minimalist grooves and setting up the groundbreaking Jazz Fudge label, the erstwhile Vadim Peare turned his attentions outward. He has since become a hip-hop ambassador, scouting scattered hip-hop communities for the freshest rhymes, the fastest fingers, and the phattest sounds.
DJ Vadim's select crew gives USSR: LIFE FROM THE OTHER SIDE a friendly, familial feel. Among the rappers, vocalists, and turntablists strutting their stuff over Vadim's terse, abstract "Russian Percussion" are artful scratcher DJ Primecuts, Company Flow's El-P and BMS (spilling lyrics like liquid on the fantastic "Viagra"), Swollen Members, Sarah Jones (whose acid-tongued delivery illuminates "Your Revolution"), Jupiter Jam & J.A.E., Blurum 13, Iriscience, Toastie Taylor, and Jazz Fudge veteran Blade. Assuming the role of the magnanimous producer, Vadim sets the stage for his skilled associates and watches from the wings as they do their thing. The emphasis is on fun and funk, with cute, sample-based sketches and fade-out instrumentals linking smoldering cuts like "English Breakfast," "Friction," "The Pact," "It's Obvious," and Blade's adoring "From Russia With Love."
