The Further Adventures of Lord Quas

More playful and genre-fluid than Soundpieces, with Madlib reaching further into jazz breaks and global crate material and letting the Quas persona get genuinely weird in ways that still sound fresh. The helium-pitched bars have a philosophical looseness that suits the more psychedelic production direction. 'Closer' and 'Discipline 99' both illustrate how far Madlib had stretched the concept without losing the core groove instinct that makes his best work so replayable.
