	THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF LORD QUAS is the second collage of glorious madness from the gifted MC Quasimoto. Quasimoto is actually versatile producer Madlib, at his most demented, bizarre, and magnificent. The album opens with maniacal, Vincent Price-style laughing, before Madlib announces his alter ego, who launches into a twisted sermon somewhere between the Geto Boys and Eminem. At one point Quas quips "I flow similar to cool whip Tabasco," about as valid a description of his quirky style as any. That track, "Bullysh--," is diverted into a 1950s radio-announcer skit, then returns to the sound of psychotic rhymes. This is par for the course on THE FURTHER ADVENTURES, a deliriously inventive record that combines artful sound-sculpting, funk, hip-hop, and more into a brilliant stew for one of the most inspired records of 2005.

Artist Overview

Quasimoto is the utterly bizarre alter ego of production wizard/MC Madlib (born Otis Jackson Jr.), one of the leading underground producers on the West Coast hip-hop scene. Employing free-associative raps sped up during the recording process to sound like their creator had been inhaling helium, Quasimoto is often backed by liquid-flowing jazz loops and a heavy stoner atmosphere. His first full-length under the moniker, The Unseen (2000), was greeted with generally glowing reviews, earning comparisons to legendary hip-hop eccentrics like Prince Paul and Kool Keith. He returned in 2002 with the three-song, vinyl-only EP Astronaut, followed by The Further Adventures of Lord Quas in 2005. ~ Steve Huey

Professional Reviews

Spin (pp.101-102)
- "[T]he album's disorienting structure helps him dismantle hip-hop's redundant beats-and-rhymes cliches with reckless, unpredictable momentum." - Grade: B

Uncut (p.96)
- 3 stars out of 5 - "[With] a dense, cartoonish production that sees dusty breaks, found sounds and snippets of conversation tossed together like the contents of an upturned toy box."

Vibe (p.145)
- "Madlib's helium-voiced alter-ego rolls up hysterical tales..."
