| 2009, Plug Research. The producer/MC born Aleksander Manfredi takes the next logical step and releases his first instrumental album, Radio, named after one of today's oft-disregarded mediums, which he mined for samples to give a voice to his thoughts and views. The result is 15 tracks of aural imagery, covering heavier topics such as politics, spirituality and religion, sampling people like philosopher Alan Watts and President George W. Bush over beats that are at times, abrasive and mechanical, at others lush and melodic. As a whole, the beats on Radio are more evocative than they are musical and as cohesive of a message as it may put forth, perhaps the only major drawback is the innately limited replay value that plagues most instrumental albums.
