Genaside II

The man known to his parents as Kris Bonez lights up his dark, electronic AdFinite (Durban Poison) with bold strokes of opera and classical, old-school hip-hop breaks and dirty reggae.It’s a CD that jump-cuts from Technicolor drama to small, jazz-combo intimacy. "The Genaside Will Not BeTelevised" whirls with Wagnerian grandeur and "Casualties of War" sounds like Pink Floyd joining forceswith Tricky — perfect for a pre-Halloween bash.
