ANDY COOPER - The Layered Effect (Sealed) (CD)

The Layered Effect by US rapper and producer Andy Cooper (Ugly Duckling) is an impressive reminder of the creative fun of digging for breaks, loops and sounds. The album is full of delightful sound experiments from the world of jazz, easy listening, film soundtracks and Hollywood voices. It is a perfectly embroidered sound patchwork that pays homage to the classic funky days of early rap. A moving testimony to the joys of hip-hop then and now
