Metaform
Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
2008
What we have here is a 19-track collection that is as varied as it is strong. And it doesn’t lose you for a second. Metaform’s sound might be rooted in standing on the shoulders of giants like Shadow and RJD2, but this is more than paying homage. This record is a clear indicator that genres can still be mashed successfully and beautifully, with nary a negative in sight. Metaform’s only weakness is that certain tracks tend to blend together. But when that’s all I can think of to critique his work, you know he’s truly done something special.
