Same As It Never Was

by: Herbaliser

Release Date June 16, 2008
For all Herbaliser fans out there this is a must. For all non Herbaliser fans who like funny, thoughtful diverse and just plain enjoyable beats this one is also for you. Herbaliser takes you on a fun ride that doesn't tire and has enough uplifting material to put a smile on your face in these times of mass media misery. This is the pill that will make you happy, so put down the valium and put this on instead. If only the NHS prescribed these kind of albums I swear there would be less problems out there! Put it in your basket and set the stereo to 11.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

by: Herbaliser

Release Date March 18, 2002
Judging by some of these reviews, 'Something Wicked...' doesn't appeal to a certain type of Herbaliser fan. In my opinion, the closed-minded ones. This album isn't leaning towards pretentious jazz, it's a mix of seductive downtempo grooves, fresh hip-hop and sleazy funk with some excellent production.

Admittedly, this album is a slight departure from the old Herbaliser sound, being less sample-based and with more emphasis on instrumentation - but the cheeky samples from old movies and public information films are still there, as is the clever scratching, catchy beats and awesome guest rappers. In any case, it's not as much a departure as a logical evolution of their style.

I suppose the only way you could dislike this ... Read More:

Blow Your Headphones

by: Herbaliser

Release Date August 28, 2000
Truely a fine album. The herbaliser have established their roots in creating an album that never ages and always uplifts.

Excellent turns from What What. If you want something that sounds cool, feels cool and is cool then this is the album for you. A fusion of hip hop and jazz.

FABRICLIVE26: The Herbaliser

by: Herbaliser

Release Date February 13, 2006
This was the first fabriclive album I brought and what a find.

Write from the go this album gets you moving with the lively Dogz N Sledgez and from there it doesn't stop.

The mix showcases a large variety of artists both new (breakesrta, RJd2) and old (jackson five, james brown) and includes some tracks including the exceptional ghostwriter/groundzero mix which turns an all ready stomping party tune (ghostwriter) into just over 3 and half minutes of unbridaled joy.

This is the ultimate pre-club warm up/houseparty album, it will get even the most self conscious to get up and dance. I challenge anyone to listen to this album without feeling the urge to get involved.

Take London

by: Herbaliser

Release Date June 06, 2005
Herbaliser's previous albums have been pretty cohesive i.e. they all sound pretty much the same- funky hip-hop and jazz-tinged instrumentals, with some excellent collaborations with vocalists such as What What (aka Jean Grae), MF Doom and Roots Manuva. It's a formula that works well, and it's a formula they have perfected in 'Take London'.

There are some fantastic singles on this album- 'Generals' is a fantastic posse cut by Jean Grae and friends, and brings back the sort of quality group tracks that were the staple of mid-90s hip-hop e.g. Wu-Tang. The Herbaliser also demonstrate that they can slow things right down, demonstrated best by the wonderfully relaxing 'If You Close Your Eyes'.
