THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF LORD QUAS is the second collage of glorious madness from the gifted MC Quasimoto. Quasimoto is actually versatile producer Madlib, at his most demented, bizarre, and magnificent. The album opens with maniacal, Vincent Price-style laughing, before Madlib announces his alter ego, who launches into a twisted sermon somewhere between the Geto Boys and Eminem. At one point Quas quips "I flow similar to cool whip Tabasco," about as valid a description of his quirky style as any. That track, "Bullysh--," is diverted into a 1950s radio-announcer skit, then returns to the sound of psychotic rhymes. This is par for the course on THE FURTHER ADVENTURES, a deliriously inventive record that combines artful sound-sculpting, funk, hip-hop, and more into a brilliant stew for one of the most inspired records of 2005.
Madlib resurrects his sticky-green obsessed, helium-huffing alter-ego, Quasimoto, for the The Further Adventures of Lord Quas. While Madlib has always been one of the most experimentally savvy beatmakers in the underground, his creation of the electronically altered narrator Quasimoto, has become one of his biggest selling points for alternatively minded fans. Quas made his full-length debut in 2000 on The Unseen, an album which reached over 38,182 fans, and was dubbed one of the "Top 20 albums of 2000" by both SPIN and URB. Meanwhile Madlib's Quas-filled collaboration with M.F. Doom on Madvillainy has been deemed a cult classic. Madlib does not dissapoint on The Further Adventures of Lord Quas, with drunkard Old Willy appearing in a comedy sketched out over an equally quirky beat on "Bus Ride," while Quas narrates a hip-hop history lesson on "Rappcats," and takes bong hits while reminiscing over the essential role weed plays in his artistic process on "Greenery." The new album includes 26 tracks, with only two guest shots: one from Doom (for the return of Madvillain) and another from Medaphoar.
