Review of The Broken Record from San Antonio Current by John DeFore

Mike Langlie's new disc fits the profile of hip-hop, bedroom-based, Mad Scientist Of Sound stuff, but with a twist. Instead of opening himself up to the wide world of vinyl history, the samples here come almost exclusively from children's records. Jumbled recitations of the alphabet, bunny-rabbit endearments, and barnyard sounds get looped and layered in a trippy exercise that, I'm guessing, would be a sure-fire gift if you were invited to a baby shower for DJ Shadow.
