Beastie Boys :: Off The Grid

Posted by jayfo13 on June 7, 2007

Yes…those Beastie Boys. One of my favorite instrumental cds of all time was their cd In Sound from Way Out! So i was excited when I heard their new cd The Mix-Up was going to be an instrumental jam as well. And after listening to the first cut “Off The Grid” I’m even more excited. For me “No Vocals” is a good thing when it comes to the Beasties.

The Mix-Up is a complete departure from what listeners have come to expect from the Beastie Boys…no vocals, no instruments, no sampling…just instruments. The result is a funky, lounge jam session that is surprisingly laid back and relaxing at times. I predict this cd will generate a new set of fans for the Brooklyn based legends and that’s why MMB has chosen to showcase the new video for “Off the Grid”.

"A Great CD to Eat Pie To" :: Beastie Boys

The Beastie Boys cd The Mix-Up will drop in June. It’s an instrumental cd that finds the dynamic trio just getting together “from out behind the computers” to make some music and “see what happens”. Their other intrumental cd The In Sound From Way Out is one of my Beastie favorites, so I look forward to hearing yet another reinvention from the boys.
