The Mix-Up Reviews
The Mix-Up review
Posted : 16 years, 9 months ago on 29 July 2007 11:15A decade and change after 1996โs The In Sound From Way Out (and three years after their ill-advised return to rap with To the 5 Boroughs), the Beastie Boys again round up keyboard king Money Mark and revisit the all-instrumental record. The menu is hardly mixed upโwith the possible exception of the roughhewn โThe Cousin of Death,โ this is entirely sugary dub soul and sun-kissed, psychedelic jazz-funk. While nothing hereโs tremendously notable, as far as easygoing mood music is concerned, The Mix-Up is on the money (and the money shots are all Money Markโs).
