Editor's review
If you're at all familiar with the boys that are Beastie, the first few notes of their second all-instrumental album will instantly take you back to the "Check Your Head" days. Memories of skull caps, skateboard ramps, and scuffed-up Vans abound as Money Mark takes over the keys and the other three jam out on drums, guitars, and whatever else they can find, cementing their trademark sounds sans vocals.
Biography
The Mix-Up is Beastie Boys' first-ever full album of all-new instrumental material. The follow-up to 2004's To The 5 Boroughs, The Mix-Up features Diamond, Horovitz and Yauch back on drums, guitar and bass, with able assistance from Keyboard Money Mark and percussionist Alfredo Ortiz, on 12 brand new wordless, sample-less, scratchless originals. Sure to please fans of the instrumental cuts from Check Your Head and Ill Communication and the cult hit compilation album made up largely of those tracks, The In Sound From Way Out!, The Mix-Up finds NYC's favorite sons drawing on one of their arsenal's primary strengths and pushing it into bold new directions.
