The Alchemist: Russian Roulette
Feb 19th, 2013 by dcronin
“[A] very ’70s and very psychedelic album — Russian Roulette is the Alchemist going solo and thematic, constructing tracks by sampling old Russian records — jazzy, psychedelic, soulful, and otherwise — and grabbing some dialog from ’80s movies that were cold war-themed. His final touch is the jaw-droppingly excellent guest list that contributes to these 30 short tracks, all strung together for an album meant to be taken as a whole.” –All Music Guide
