brothers--the, uh, proverbial Black Sheep--of the Native Tongue family. It's not a completely deserved reputation, since the pair's debut disc is a slickly produced effort with smooth rhymes and strong beats. The guest spots are kept to a minimum, though they remain choice, especially when kid MC Chi Ali raps, "pass the 40, 'cause my mother's not looking." The duo's style pulls toward humor, which they try to keep understated (in their sexual boasts), but it sometimes goes way over the top--most notably on the gangsta-rap parody "U Mean I'm Not," in which the narrator kills his sister for using his toothbrush. --Randy Silver

Advantages: Original Disadvantages: A couple of weak tracks
"A WolfInSheep's Clothing" came in 1992 as the debut album from Black Sheep, a New York duo, of Dres and Mista Lawnge, who strangely met in North Carolina. Although still together, their work isn't really hear today, however the classic break of "Engine, engine number nine"; heard in Fatman Scoop's "Be Faithful" came from them, adn it keeps their lagacy going. They perform an alternative style of Hip Hop, just as others affiliated with the Native Tongues Posse, and originally made a statement by mocking the Gangsta Rap movement.
1. "Intro"
2. "U Mean I'm Not"
For this one you get them starting it all off by really displaying why they are so different from the rest of those out there as you get them mocking how things have turned towards having a prevalence of Gangsta rappers in the Hip Hop world and Dres plays out the type ...
Advantages: Interesting setting Disadvantages: Loses something in translation, a bit tame
a written lesson on Norwegian physical geography. Put simply, I often was not sure whether the author was using allusions to fjords and glaciers because he really thought them appropriate or as a cheap gimmick to make the book more "Norwegian". Whatever the answer, Staalesen does conjure up an atmospheric picture of a cruel and brooding landscape that is very striking.
Following on from this it is noted that "Varg" translates as "wolf" which leads to several puns throughout the book; this is mentioned in the translation but somehow it jarred. I think this meant that the spotaneity of the humour is lost in translation because you don't immediately understand why some characters react the way they do when they hear his name for the first time.
I also quite liked the way Staalesen managed to work in details about contemporary Norwegian life ...
This was the first soundcard I purchased, about 4 years ago at £60, it was and still is an absolute bargain!
While this is certainly an entry level professional soundcard, with 2in/2out, it's been designed carefully and with as much detail as higher-spec sound cards which I've purchased from M-Audio.
Installation is extremely simple as with nearly all PCI devices these days: chuck in the driver CD, or download and install the latest versions. Power Off. Slot in the card. Power On. Installed.
What I like, amongst many other things, is the reliability of the drivers. I've never once had a problem caused by the soundcard in any of the various host programs I use and it's a testament to great software engineering. I've used a MOTU 828 mkII for a few months on a recording project and every once in a while, audible clicks and pops ...

Album Notes
An integral member of the "freak folk" scene that includes Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom, Josephine Foster is arguably the most technically gifted of the lot. This ambitious album finds Foster singing Schubert, Brahms, and other 19th-century German lieder, in a gorgeous, controlled voice over ethereal but unobtrusive electric guitar. It is quite an achievement, and leaves fans wondering what obscure musical form she will master next.
Album Reviews
Mojo (p.103) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Imagine, if you will, Schubert's Winterreise hijacked by Thomas Ligotti and Jan Svankmajer and you won't even be close to fathoming the unearthly beauty of this recording." The Wire (p.55) - "It all works, and gloriously so. These are beautiful songs, sung beautifully, with beautiful accompaniment. Foster's famously wayward, reverb-soaked vocal intensity draws us deeper into her own particular kind of darkness."
