Those of you who caught the early snippets of the Ultra re-union project may have been dissapointed when you heard the finished album, which seemed to have no trace of DJ Moe Love or TR Love, and sounded more like a Kool Keith album featuring Ced-Gee. The legendary Bronx crew adds another classic to their catalogue with Ultra Laboratory Stories, an album delving deep into the Ultra lab vaults of unreleased vintage and current tracks produced solely by TR and Moe Luv. The music ranges from their early years during Critical Beatdown all the way up to The Four Horsemen. The more current tracks stay the course and continue the New York rap sound that started heavy in the Bronx. Kool Keith, in Rhythm X mode, Ced Gee, Tim Dog plus new affiliate Fred Beanz deliver clever wordplay over hard, grimy beats programmed on the SP1200. The distinctive sound will not disappoint true Ultramagnetic MCs fans as this does not stray from their legacy
and is consistent with their high calibre of releases.

Props to my homie Illamental for sending me the link.
