Comment: The nowadays mash-up king Max Tannone (Jaydiohead, Mos Dub, Dub Kweli, and the re-conceptualizing of Beastie Boys` album Check Your Head) is back with his new release and fresh "victims". Being inspired by the film Moon by Duncan Jones and its original score by Clint Mansell, however, it is a collaboration act with MC Richard Rich, thereby not considered a mash-up enterprise. Indeed, it sounds as an original hip-hop-moulded workout (hip-hop/rap music, however, bases mainly on samples and loans). More detailly, those sampled sci-fi-hued minutiae make up a solid impression on offset face to face with Rich`s convincing manifestation.
