In Search Of... [First Version]
by N.E.R.D
August 6, 2001
This is the debut album for in-demand hip-hop production duo The Neptunes, recording with Shay under the name N.E.R.D. (for "No One Ever Really Dies"). Note that there are two different versions of this album in circulation. This version is the original recording, using mainly electronic instrumentation, that was intended for a full release in August 2001 but was shelved by the band (only to be released in the UK over the band's objection). The new version, released March 2002, was completely rerecorded, and features live instrumentation by Minneapolis funk band Spymob. |

Original Pirate Material
by The Streets
October 22, 2002
This is the debut album by the London garage (or in this case, bedroom) band, which consists solely of 21-year-old Mike Skinner. Whether or not this style of music (very English rapping over garage/house beats) will translate well overseas remains to be seen, but garage (and especially Skinner) is the current flavor of the month with the UK music press. |
