Jumbled Dystopia (Deluxe Edition)
With no rhythmic boundaries in sight, and an apparitional presence on the mic; the beloved "Jumbled Dystopia" returns like never before in this 2.0 presentation. Brand new alluring flourishes surface and plunge revealing new angles of this cultic prism. Don't rise to the surface too quick! A slow ascent is imperative to your safety! This pressure is not something to be careless about. The Deluxe Edition environment has been reharmonized, recalibrated; enlivened anew and revarnished as another classic. How could it be, so magnetically unnerving?
There's no need to expect a mysterious departure here as Jumbled continually serves a culinary feast from 1500 meters below sea level. Become enchanted over and over again as you find yourself lost at sea. An album full of layers sometimes brittle to the touch; two dozen comb jellyfish that can disintegrate at any moment. You can feel the curation in every architectural decision as the album plays on. A soundtrack no less precious by its reimagining. No less triumphant from its abyss.
Though our virtual world seems to be devouring our reality, we can always escape to this contentious yet elegantly crafted world under the sea. Where syringes of ADAM have become conventional and driven this once-utopia to the brink.
Included is a strategically masterful corroding mix of four narrative stand-ins/ postscripts, two remixes and four OG instrumentals. We have a seductive expansion pack on the original cast with new entries from a plasmid-frenzied —clarity-filled science dropping Dot-Com, the soothing ease and presence of Natasha Edwards, the oftly outspoken wit of PremRock and as some may argue; Jumbleds’ newest versus match up in August Fanon.
An album can't be unending and so, with this expansion pack, we close the loop on this innovative; yet artfully frivolous, madness at sea. Do prepare mindfully, if you fall deep enough into yourself, you might just discover "Manji" (ten thousand things or everything).
