Aug 12, 2016Even if you’re not spiritually inclined, the music is still proper techno: chuggy in some places and mystical in others, but always total class.
-
Sep 28, 2016It’s safe to say that The Disco’s of Imhotep will go down in electronica history as a very successful experiment.
-
Sep 13, 2016This particular release has all the textures, tinkles and poise the listener craves from Moss, while often arming them with some pretty hefty, distorted kicks and bass.
-
Sep 1, 2016Bullish and forceful, The Disco’s of Imhotep is also a work of considerable intricacy and mystery. Jamal Moss aims high and rarely overreaches, making the album not only ambitious, but a welcome blast of modern house that would live up any club night.
-
The WireAug 19, 2016The comparison between [The Disco's of Imhotep] and Ancient Echoes revealing the absolutely consistency of Moss's vision over the years. [Aug 2016, p.50]
-
Aug 8, 2016This is a kaleidoscopic, hard-hitting record designed for the feet as much as the synapses, healing by frequencies.
-
Aug 4, 2016The release does an excellent job of touching on several facets of Moss' personality, and will most certainly encourage newcomers to seek out as many of his other recordings as possible.
-
Aug 1, 2016Sweaty and ecstatic, elevated and pure, The Disco’s of Imhotep weaves quite the spell. This might be the most accessible Hieroglyphic Being album to date, but Jamal Moss remains out there on his own.
-
Aug 1, 2016This is techno music that fires the mind and soothes the soul; intricate, micro-tuned productions that work on a guttural level; electronic music that soars by aural intelligence rather than lumpen sonic trickery. In the end, you may not be healed by The Disco’s of Imhotep but you’ll certainly be uplifted.
-
Aug 1, 2016Where previous releases under the moniker have explored the grittier, DIY side of house, here Moss leans towards the lush, psychedelic end of the spectrum, and delivers a kaleidoscopic sonic journey that commands you to keep going back.
-
Aug 16, 2016A premise so potentially sprawling is over and done with after 35 minutes. As the conduit probably has his next spiritual plain and energy source in mind, it all adds to the enigma.
-
Aug 10, 2016For an artist who has released as prolifically as Moss, having a “defining solo album” is a hard choice. But this is an excellent primer for Jamal Moss’s singular ideology, and deserves our dual attention.
-
Aug 3, 2016Though at times a little too cacophonous, the nine-track LP is an impressive collection that remains true to its Afrofuturistic roots.
-
MojoAug 1, 2016It's foundations are suitably raw, emotional and, more often than not rhythmically muscular. And yet, by skillfully offsetting this by weaving in strands of Afro-jazz, the pervading mood is one of calming, introspective reverie. [Sep 2016, p.93]
