MF DOOM – Metal Fingers Presents: Special Herbs, Vol. 5 & 6 (Apple Red 2-LP Vinyl)
MF DOOM Vinyl Records
Product Details
The Special Herbs series was DOOM's way of pulling back the curtain without giving anything away, presenting the skeletal architecture of his production mind as its own complete statement. Volumes 5 and 6 sit deep in the run, where the crate-digging references get more obscure and the loops more hypnotic. On apple red vinyl, this pressing gives the instrumental work the physical weight it always deserved.
One of the most expansive instrumental Hip Hop series to date, MF DOOM’s lauded Special Herbs collection assembles a mountainous collection of his beats, ranging from series exclusives to slightly reworked favorites he produced for himself and others. Released under the alias Metal Fingers, Special Herbs succeeds at capturing DOOM’s highly influential sound which continually breaks and reinterprets the rules of the game in favor of The Super-Villain. The world is a treasure trove of sounds, and the Metal-Fingered DOOM accepts no limits; ’70s Soul/Funk classic, ’80s R&B hits, rap nostalgia, and even soundbites from children’s records & TV all find their place in the ingredients needed to perfect his recipes.
