Review Justin Robertson crafts a rare balance ... [m]echanical dance beats
manage to have soul, familiar samples are used for punctuation rather than
pilfered for structure and even lounge sounds seem to have substance. -- The
Los Angeles Times Amazon.ca City Delirious is a complete smorgasbord of jazz,
blues, hip-hop, and techno--at least four decades of musical influences--and
Chef Lionrock (Justin Robertson) has earned his tenure as a DJ. The album is
seamlessly divided into two vibes--the first half is a funked-out, jazzed-out,
big-beat jam, and the second half is a loungy cool-down. The jazzy second
track, "Rude Boy Rock," is a representative microcosm for the rest of the
album. Giddy, quirky, and sexy, it scoots along in a madcap way and would have
been a shoe-in candidate for the background music to a very special episode of
Gilligan's Island. (Story line: James Bond surfs into the lagoon, has a few
romps with Ginger, and spends the rest of the show trying not to get caught.)
Robertson hails from Manchester, England, and tips his hat to the homestead by
interjecting standard Happy Mondays/Soup Dragons-style Rasta-man samples over
the top of the song. The rest of the album is jammed with everything from
early-'80s "industrial-lite" to Rolling Stones blues riffs to non-threatening
raps that fall somewhere between Young MC and PM Dawn to the most reptilian of
after-hours lounge. Someone this inventive and musically informed could have
easily thrown together a record that was overwhelming and incongruent. But
City Delirious is a sensationally tasteful buffet of rhythms, instruments, and
influences--delicious from the first course to the last. --Beth Bessme
