Oh No

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.
