Album Stones Throw STH2165

Description: Like J Dilla's Donuts and Madlib's Beat Konducta, Oh No flexes his talent for an instrumental solo release, inspired-by and sampled-from Turkish, Lebanese, Italian, and Greek psychedelic rock.

“The album is much more melodic and full-sounding than anything Madlib might do, but Oh No's always been more tune-driven, so looking for Beat Konducta Jr. material here would be a misguided approach. Dr. No's Oxperiment ends up sounding warm, nearly-poppy, guitar-filled trip into Middle Eastern chants, tight bass grooves, and drums that hover beneath the surface. That's one of Oh No's greatest talents, in fact: his ability to mix the different elements of his compositions so that none of them stick out too much but are all completely present, important and perceptible.” - Marisa Brown, All Music Guide

“Dr. No's Oxperiment sounds like the sort of instrumental hip-hop album that Indiana Jones would make: adventurous, exotic, smart, fun and thrilling. Oh No is close behind his big brother Madlib for the title of West Coast's king beatsmith, and here he dips into Turkish, Lebanese and Greek samples.” - Sam Chennault, Rhapsody
