Here is an excellent copy of Aesop Rock’s “Float”. This is a US pressing on the Mush label, catalog # MH 202. The 2 vinyl lp’s are shiny & black with a few light non-sounding sleeve marks that doesn’t affect playback. The cover shows a little wear to corners and has just a hint of ring wear (see pic. ). Email me with any questions and be sure to look at the pic’s. I do not accept bids from or ship to Italy. International bidders can email me for shipping rates. Thanks for Looking & Good luck!
Music review from allmusic.com by Brad Mills
Words to describe this work would be: surprising, analytical, darkness, mystery, lyricism, and jealous. Jealous because it's likely that every person who has ever tried to rap would wish he could rhyme like this guy, and every poet would wish to dream with such imagery. If you're into bootyshakin' and dancing, and that's the reason you listen to hip-hop, do not buy this album. But if you like hip-hop for rhymes that make you think, this guy just can't be slept on. For example, "6B Panorama" discusses the view from his NYC apartment and starts like this: "I was sitting on my fire escape and I saaaaaaw...Sturdy bridges, decorated with dirty pigeons, a vagabond beggin' for three pennies and a princess, a junky tourniquet surgeon urgin' the needle in, a batty senior citizen flashin' that awful teethless grin." Artists such as Aesop Rock paint intricate abstract pictures with their music, and it's simply too much information to handle in a single sitting. This album is so complex that it may never be fully comprehended by the listener, but you may find yourself walking along listening one day and finally figure out one of the metaphors -- a great feeling. This is one of a few albums definitely worth any import pricing. One more quote: "(I see) a challenge, a chance to add real colors to my favorite palette, raise my mighty mallet towards the gods and swing my talents!"
