Bleep

The Go! Team have always made music that sounds like an erratic individual scanning through a digital TV package — a barrage of bristling sonic textures from hip-hop to dance to funk that moves by its own buoyant rhythm — and Get Up Sequences Part 1 comes off as a definitive LP for the group and their ethos. True to its jubilant title, the album starts on the up and somehow escalates beyond the get-down scale, as bangers like ‘Cookie Scene’ and ‘Pow’ stay the course on The Go! Team’s singular style of sample-based boogie, finding innate grooves in flutes, glockenspiels and a snot-nosed rap delivery to rival early hip-hop’s schoolyard jibes.
