Photographer: Christopher Davison. Earning respect in the underground American hip-hop scene in the late 1990s, Antipop Consortium eventually teamed with Warp Records and directed their sound towards the glitchy IDM with which the British label had made its name. ARRHYTHMIA is as much, if not more, an IDM record as it is a hip-hop one; the sum of the hybrid is certainly worth more than the parts. Beans, High Priest, and M. Sayyid spit cerebral lyrics over dense and inventive loops and samples. "Goldlawns" is a perfect single: the repetitiveness of the synthetic rhythm and the knowingly mundane female vocal samples make it a pop song; the rappers, however, make it something special when their flow interrupts and eventually strengthens the rhythm. ARRHYTHMIA was the last Antipop Consortium release before the group's members split for various other projects, none of which managed to capture the strange, effortless marriage of styles one finds here.
