Mtv’s Amp ~ Mtv Amp 2
Amazon.com
Amp is, of course, the late night MTV program that’s helped turn America onto “that electronica stuff,” and this is the sequel to 1997’s commercially successful Amp collection. Amp 2 gets things started off right with a house-rockin’ unreleased track from Fatboy Slim, but can’t sustain such sheer energy throughout, courtesy of flaccid beats from the likes of Prodigy and Adam F. Nevertheless, Amp 2 spins an educational emphasis, stressing the link between new and old schools, with varied collaborations between hip-hoppers and electronic artists. The most successful tracks go back to the funk from which both musics borrow–particularly Pigeonhead with Lo-Fidelity All-Stars, a Jungle Brothers remix, and Roni Size/Reprazent’s “Brown Paper Bag,” which sees the future in the past all by itself. –Mike McGonigal
