RANDOM HEROES : Roll Call / Days of Old (JACK TO PHONO)
"A highly mixed up array of breaks, samples, and spoken bits -- done in a back to basics mode that's somewhere between the late 80s work of Steinski and Norman Cook! As with work by both of those artists, there's a good sense of humor going on here -- one that uses the older spoken bits as little jokes through the record -- but with enough of a groove to show careful timing of their inclusion! "Days Of Old" is a bit slower, heavier, and hipper -- with some great guitar and keyboard samples dropped over nicely breaking drums! "
Dusty Groove
Breaks-loaded, b-boy-friendly party tackle from Random Heroes on the excellent Jack To Phono label, featuring a gravel-voiced eulogy to the power of beats in 'Roll Call', complete with a killer rolling bassline, disco percussion, Hammond organ lines and a cracking military drum section."
Soul Trade
"It's not going to change the world, but it'll certainly rock a party."
