Product DescriptionWith material taken from collaborations with people as diverse as Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, Vijay Iyer, old school African hip- hop legends Zimbabwe Legit, stunning turntablist Rob Swift of the X-ecutioners, political hip-hop from The Coup, The Jungle Brothers, Mike Ladd, and Abdul Smooth from India, DJ Spooky connects the dots between jazz, classical music, and the struggle to create new, dynamic relationships between old school hip hop and and 21st century's rapidly changing info-culture landscape. Showcasing Paul Miller's (aka DJ Spooky's) eclecticism and ever- present desire to spotlight musical genres and causes from all around the world, the album's lead single "Azadi"( which means "freedom" in Farsi) is dung by Iran's Sussan Deyhim. This is a call for everyone to look behind what's shown, and to experience what "really is".
*included with the cd is a dvd of the 1924 film "Kino Glasz"
