![]() While there are some true progressive leanings, the majority of the set is simply too diverse to be dumped under such a broad and meaningless genre. ![]() To some degree, that's a major misnomer and disservice to the band. Playing clubs such as London's Middle Earth generated a groundswell of publicity, with Pye Records eventually signing the band.Ĭontrasts, released in 1969 and produced by Barry Murray, has been described as progressive. Convinced they could make it in the big leagues, in 1968 the quartet packed up their gear, leaving Wales for London. Best of all - their three albums sported a tremendously talented guitarist in Gareth Johnson.įormed in Newport, South Wales in 1967, the initial Blonde On Blonde line-up featured the talents of singer/guitarist Ralph Denyer, drummer Les Hicks, bassist/keyboard player Richard Hopkins and guitarist Johnson. Even though they enjoyed strong reviews from music critics and achieved massive exposure playing before gigantic crowds at the 1969 Isle of Wight festival (coincidently headlined by Dylan), they never managed to generate much in the way of sales. Named after the title of Bob Dylan's 1965 album, this short-lived and little known Welsh outfit stands as one of the better 'unknown' bands.

The song “Against the Grain” recruits Hoodoo’s mentors the Insane Clown Posse to thank those who helped all 3 of their dreams come to fruition over a tranquil instrumental & then “Time of My Life” is an emotional finale as Hoodoo’s spitting some real life shit & the background singer throughout was a remarkable touch as well.Īfter a 4-year wait, this was very much well worth it because I think The Hoodini Chronicles: The Redbook is neck & neck with asylum for Big Hoodoo’s best work. The song “Juggalo Love (Murder Medley)” with Ouija Macc sees the 2 talking about how juggalos don’t play over an instrumental with a creepy atmosphere to it while the track “RIP” talks those who tried to stop him & this is probably the most evil-sounding beat on the whole entire album. The song “Take Over” with Blac finds the 2 talking about running shit over a bass-heavy instrumental while the track “Ride High” talks about going at those praying on his downfall over a ghostly beat with a killer guitar riff. The song “Hatchetman” is a full-blown Psychopathic anthem backed by a trap instrumental with some eerie keyboards while the track “7+3” hooks back up with Bam Beda to talk about murdering those who want beef with them over a solemn beat. The next song “Hoodooinit” triumphantly celebrates his return over an anarchic trap instrumental while the track “Bitch I’m Gone” finds Hoodoo boasting over a sinister beat from Str8jaket. The opener “Juice” with Bam Beda sees the 2 talking about being grateful for making out the hood & getting lit when the pressure’s on over some keyboards, but then transitions into a Sada Baby type beat that isn’t too bad. But just a little over year after founding his own label Ear Drug Musik as well as teaming up with Anybody Killa to drop Tha Hav Knots’ debut EP, the man is now delivering his highly anticipated 5th album. Now the last time we heard from Hoodoo solo-wise was in 2016 when he released asylum, which was pretty much a more refined version of Crystal Skull. However it wouldn’t be until 2013 when Dubbla signed Psychopathic Records, put out his 3rd album Crystal Skull that summer & became the black magic practitioner that he is today. Under that original moniker, he put out a double-disc full-length debut in 2008 called Stack’n & later followed it up with Hiatus in 2012. Hoodoo’s evolution continues on his 5th albumīig Hoodoo is a 42 year old MC from Detroit, Michigan who originally came up as Doe Dubbla. ![]()

Similar to its counterpart, each series focuses on a different Rider, a new set of characters and a different story set in its own universe, though there been multiple instances of past characters from previous Kamen Rider series crossing over to team up against a common foe. A common running theme in the franchise is that the Rider's power derived from the same source and technology used by malevolent forces, thus forming a moral vow for the protagonists to use this power to fight against evil. The Kamen Rider franchise primarily revolving around the eponymous Kamen Rider, a superpowered vigilante who mostly resembles a grasshopper and rides a motorcycle, and their one-man war against an ever-larger malevolent force, usually a terrorist organization bent on world domination.

Fortunately, there are plenty of free and paid online tools that you can use – among them are icomoon and Fontello. Once you have your desired icon(s), the next step is creating the font. To unify your aesthetic, try to use icons from the same collection or, at least, the same designer. When picking your icons, you should choose icons that will make a consistent and coherent icon set. Iconfinder has powerful search and filtering options, so this is your chance to get the right icon for your site! Step 2: Download the SVG file The best place to find them is Iconfinder, the web’s largest icon source that contains over one million free and premium icons (and growing). In order to create an icon font, the icons have to be in the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format, which is a commonly used XML-based vector image format. Iconsįirst, we need to have some nice icons. Now, let’s create an icon font and I will walk you through the steps to its integration into your website. Nonetheless, icon fonts are, in most cases, the perfect solution for adding resolution independent graphic assets to your website. There’s plenty of in-depth information about the use cases of icon fonts, including Ian Feather’s Article, CSS-tricks, SitePoint, and Ben Frain. Unfortunately, there is no good fallback until the icon font has been fully loaded, which makes it unavoidable to load assets before rendering the above-the-fold content (which has an impact on your Page Speed results). Positioning a tiny icon in the center of a circle so it looks the same in every browser can be painful and you should avoid overlaying multiple glyphs. Another disadvantage, which is also related to inconsistent rendering, is positioning. Due to differences across browsers, rendering and font smoothing can be unreliable. To be clear, there are some disadvantages.
