Roger Molls – Rewind (CD) (2010) (FLAC + 320 kbps)

“I’ll be the first to admit that the name ‘Roger Molls’ isn’t exactly redolent of the mean streets of the Bronx (and I’m sure Roger wouldn’t be too far behind me) but that’s because he hails from France, a country with a highly respectable hip-hop tradition nevertheless. ‘Rewind’ finds Molls hot on the trail of fellow French beat maestro, Wax Tailor, as well channelling the spirit of RJD2’s debut LP – (which everyone knows is his best one) in its combo of atmospheric hip-hop instrumental tracks and vocal tracks. While DJ Shadow and RJD2 might have got bored of their own atmospheric, sampledelic debuts and explored (respectively) the Bay Area sound of hyphy and slightly prog-like weirdness, Endtroducing and Deadringer cast a long – er – shadow from which ‘Rewind’ emerges looking pretty damn pleased with itself. And well it should – because it’s an impressive debut – eminently well-produced, packed with crisp beats, lushly orchestrated loops and a clutch of decent rappers. Here is evidence that far from ‘getting out more’, staying in a lot can deliver the goods too. Big-up!”
