ALIEN/CARRY ON CD Sealed 2013
2012 - Delta was seemingly missing in action since his sophomore release, The Second Story. Only releasing a handful of collaborations, and selectively choosing his live performances, he chose to take another three-year hermitage locked in the studio crafting new music.
The result - ALIEN.
The hypnotic sample lays a foundation for lyrics Influenced by everything from an exposure to the developing 80s electronic culture, Science fiction, philosophy, and most obviously the grassroots conscious universal hip hop movement. In an age where it may seem that dumbing lyrics down has been embraced as the norm, the average person is left wondering whether their living struggles are being represented poetically, or going completely unnoticed. ALIEN offers the listener a healthy dose of depth, human integrity, honesty, and curiosity regarding the human identity - not only within the rat race, but within the infinite cosmos that lies beyond. A foreword by the father and original architect of hip hop, DJ KOOL HERC sets the tone for a true musical journey.
On the flip, We have CARRY ON.
This track serves as a true return to the classic Lostralian musical formula, with Delta reuniting with master UK hip hop producer Mark B. An ominous yet funky Clavinet and a heavy soulful vocal sample, backed with hard drums compliments the onslaught of lyrics. The love for obscure samples and visual lyricism shared by both Mark B, and Delta are represented perfectly within this piece. No filler and no scams. Staen 1's flawless scratches of the eternal words of MCA of The Beastie Boys (RIP) ring out to seal the trio of hip hops crucial ingredients, Producer, DJ, and MC.
