Synopsis

Album Description

LOST LUCK / LUST AND THE LAST LIFE CYCLE is the debut album from emcee/producer ILLIOS. Many people in underground hip-hop circles already consider the album a revolutionary recording. It is destined, perhaps, to change the face of hip-hop forever, if not create a very strong following for Illios. Throughout the length of the record, the listener is seduced with a tantalizing blend of tales; sex, violence, and paranoid self-reflection are only the beginning. It is the combination of Illios? incredibly zany lyrics and machinegun wordplay (backed by freaked beats and enough bass to destroy even the toughest transducer) that makes LOST LUCK a future classic. Hear it for yourself.

CD Reviews

Strange Luck?

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Like reading the tomes of Nostradamus or Ted Kaczynski's manifesto, listening to Illios's Debut album Lost Luck/Lust and the Last Life Cycle is delightfully masochistic. With occasional moments of calming insight, the album attacks you with a sort of technological taro card reading. Frightened of what you might be told but unable to help yourself, you hear stories of alien abductions, mad scientists, and murderous psychotics. And like the last days of the apocalypse nothing is sacred and nothing is spared. More than abstract, Illios's hip hop is downright bizarre. But when its all said and done, and the last beat has been detonated, you can almost hear Illios chuckling, "Come on man. You think I really believe that stuff?" But you're still not sure.His lyrics are some of the sharpest and most interesting I've ever heard. And the quirky, space age beats compliment his stories perfectly. This is a gifted artist that you have to hear to believe."
