5 out of 5 stars Blown away!.......2002-11-23

I heard these guys on the KEXP local show here in Seattle, and immediately dug thier dark, mid-tempo beats and scratchy string sample sound. The rapping itself is fast and complex, meter and flow changing mid-phrase, but always on time. My expectation was that the CD would likely be good, but not necessarily great. After all, this is thier first record and I'd never heard of them. The truth is "Riot by Candlelight" is amazing. The whole record is unique in its feel with crunchy beats that vary greatly from song to song. And the rapping is sick. Quick and sharp with flavors of Hieroglyphics and the Pharcyde. There aren't any annoying MC beat downs or gratuitous self glorification. Their raps aren't violent and aren't sexist, but they retain a certain grittiness and darkness that keeps things interesting.
