Music Review – Katalyst ‘What’s Happening’ (2007) – 4.5 Stars
I didn’t hear this album until the start of 2008 (it was released August ’07) and it ended up being just about my favourite album from the whole year. I love the seamless threading of modern Australian hip-hop with the smooth ‘60s beats and endless samples. My favourite track would have to be “I Know a Place”; a funked-up, progressive disco beat, with some great sci-fi samples and tasty vocals. Think U.N.K.L.E featuring Shirley Bassey covering KC and the Sunshine Band during a telecast of the moon landing. If you’ve got eclectic music tastes, this is the album for you.
