First off, you have to give Brent Rollins some serious props for some of the illest cover art I’ve ever seen penned. It inspires a “Damn!” with the capital D. Likewise, Kutmasta Kurt comes with another remix that hits hard enough to shatter vertebrae in its twangy guitar rhythms. On the “No Retreat (Kutmaster Kurt Remix)” he follows the same basic pattern as with “Work the Angles” but it’s more of a sibling than a clone. In my book, improves on the original to make it twice as nice – what a true remix should do. As for the remainder of the 12″, I think including two more songs (original mixes) from the LP don’t make a whole lotta sense, especially considering that an instrumental LP is rumored to be out there. Of course, I can’t really hate on “The Last Line Of Defense”, one of the few Alchemist beats that I think actually live up to his hype. Sick key stabs and the pulsing bass make for a sinister synergy. “Expanding Man” has a nice chorus and that’s about the best compliment I can give it.
