MAX TURNER: The Purple Pro

More reviews by
Artist: MAX TURNER
Title: The Purple Pro
Format: CD
Label: Metabooty (@)
Geez, I don’t really know how to review this one, because THE PURPLE PRO has different interpretation keys and taking them separately you could get the wrong idea of what this album contains/means. Max Turner worked with Marcus Rossknecht as Meteorites as well with Puppetmastaz and for his solo project he seems to impersonate a sort of comics character. His lyrics sound like a sort of ride into craziness. An example? Here it is: "Fear of a purple pro, fear of the purple planet. Tell the united nations of an ultra-violet mandate, to rid the world of blues like a big ass rap mandrill spittin til I sink, ah!" Musically hip hop has a big influence on the project (Max mostly rap his lyrics) and also the tracks sound like twisted hip hop tunes but also a sort of funky electro flavor comes up on tracks like "Disco of the dead". Probably most of you would be destabilized by this album just like I was, but I think that we should take it as a whole because if you consider only the music probably you won’t understand what a deranged blues guitar is doing here and there. Try it if you are in the mood of checking something really particular!
