Shabazz Palaces Lese Majesty is something out of a freaking mescaline trip: possibly the one taken by the Gunslinger in book one of the Dark Tower, only with aliens.
It's already near the top of my albums of the year (so far) list, with Fennesz, KidKanevil, Ben Frost, Perfect Pussy, patten, Dub Thompson, and Underachievers, Swans and Thee Oh-Sees.
I wrote an almost shamefully histrionic review of it for my blog. It's on some sick shit for sure. Hard to imagine that Ishmael Butler is behind such a progressive piece of hip-hop futurism.
