Aquamosh - Plastilina Mosh (1998)

You occasionally hear the term “plunderphonics” for the stretch of mid-90s sample-based music, headlined by Beck, The Beasties, and Soul Coughing’s Mark De Gli Antoni, that was based on the idea that if you sampled somebody in the 90s they 1) probably wouldn’t notice and 2) wouldn’t know how to go about suing you.

I don’t actually know if this Mexican duo did a lot of sampling or just threw everything at the wall to make it sound like it.

This is a great debut from a group I hadn’t heard about at the time. Jazzy and breezy keys and guitars along with plenty of the obligatory “noisy enough to make sure your mom doesn’t like it” aesthetic of the era.
