Jizzm - Illasophic Vol. 2 (Extended EP)

This album came out in 2005 and was sold out very fast. There only seemed to exist a few copies of it.

Some of the tracks are exclusively on this album and the EP while others also appear on the Jizzm - Infinite album.

Naptron - Transmitting / Put Your Hands Up 12"

This Naptron release is getting more and more difficult to find. It was released on Funk La Planet records which is run by Benjamin Deffe. I have also posted up two other releases from FLP earlier with Phoenix Orion on them. They are part of the Alien Nation era back in the day when they resided in Brooklyn, NYC.

This record contains two different mixes of Put Your Hands Up plus an instrumental and Transmitting plus its instrumental. Transmitting features the insane freestyle king Supernatural.

Update: I ripped the record by myself this time. I think it sounds better than the version before.

Naptron - Put Your Hands Up / Transmitting 12"

Update: Naptron - Afekz Of Metatron

Naptron is a member of Alien Nation crew which had its born place in Brooklyn/NYC. On an Alien Nation 12inch there is written:
Naptron
Alias : Meta-Predator
Function : Seismic Verbalizer
"The mind is my playpen."
Can turn foes into helpless accomplices by injecting cerebro-shells into their brainstems... gives him control of their minds... has a cruel sense of humor... arms himself by having victims debase themselves. Voice modulator has ability to cause localized earth tremors.

On this album he frequently uses his dark deep- and also a midget like voice. Someone who fits perfectly to Naptron is P.E.A.C.E. who has multiple appearances as Marvin Frye while Naptron appears as Seymour Frye. Other appearances are Phoenix Orion on "Show me what you got", D.V. Alias Khrist on a Skit, Orion South on "I can see it in your eyes", Supernatural on the Intro song and "Bredren" and the Alien crew on "Omega Minus Function".
Unfortunately, the production credits aren't given but there is also a 12" test pressing out there which states that Daddy Kev and Hive took care of the production on tracks that also appear on this album. Another EP also states the same.

Update: I cut out the silence on some tracks and normalized them to the same level. It now sounds better.

Today I will throw in another fine compilation. Again a bunch of dope artists appear on it as you can see in the tags list below. The DicoGs entry states appearances of Abstract Rude and Pete Rock which is not correct! But Pete Rock did one beat for Spinderella of Salt'n'Pepa and Suga B from Urban Prop. Pretty nice combo btw! Other pearls are Awol One's track called "Life" with its sluggish beat, Swollen Member's "Deep End" and ?

Alien Nation - Earth Defenders

It is Alien Nations second album but it is the Aliens first officially released album. The Millenium album was meant to be released on Pallas Records in 1994 but wasn't. "Earth Defenders" in contrary was released on Celestial Recordings around 1999 on CD and I have heard there exist multiple versions with different colored covers. A 12inch record also exists with the track "Return To Cybertron" and a vinyl only track called "Unicron" which is only performed by Phoenix Orion.

On the Earth Defenders album appear Cosmic Ray, Phoenix Orion, Supernatural, Naptron, Orion South, Darkzeid, P.E.A.C.E. and also DK Toon on "Infinite Cypher" at 1:35. Infinite Cypher btw is a really dope track. The appearance of P.E.A.C.E. and DK Toon could lead to the theory that Infinite Cypher and the track "Secret Wars" from Phoenix Orions Secret Wars album were recorded in the same studio session.

Albums, I better shouldn't have sold/lost Part VI

Another compilation but this time its with a totally different cast! Celestial Recordings only label based compilation brings you the Alien Nation, P.E.A.C.E., Self Jupiter, DK Toon, Ellay Khule and others from Vortex Recordings a subsidiary of Celestial. One very interesting thing about it is the hint inside that they already had the Zimulated Experiences II in the works. The track "Close Encounters" appears here and there. You can also find tracks from the Beneath The Surface compilation, the Alien Nation album "Earth Defenders", Naptron's "Styles Of Madness", Hive's "Working With Sound", Phoenix Orion's "Zimulated Experiences", Supernatural's "Armageddon At Your Door 12" "  and from some Vortex releases I think which are Drum'n'Bass and not Hip-Hop.
