Professor Brian Oblivion – Dissertation: Vol 1 [Album Stream]

Professor Brian Oblivion is back with “Dissertation: Vol.1”, the highly anticipated follow up to his debut album, “The Dark Realities of the Moment” (2011). In the same vein as Ras G’s “Raw Fruit” and Madlib’s “Beat Konducta”, Professor Oblivion releases the first of the Dissertation series, showcasing twenty-two raw, open beats in a seamlessly arranged bombardment of funk. With influences of the world’s musical past, the professor meticulously synthesizes and reframes specimens of sound to create sound collage that is rooted in principle and steeped in culture. Hard hitting drums, scintillating synths, dancing melodies and grooving basslines construct “Dissertation: Volume 1”, culminating in a cacophony of head nodding slappers.
