What I know about the Beastie Boys you could put on a head of a pin. They broke big while I was still in college, but by 1986 I was so far gone from my own generation’s music, I barely noticed. However, I still had my tentacles into metal, and they were getting coverage from some of the magazines. Mostly negative. I just knew they were a white rap group and weren’t to be bothered with. And that may still hold true for me, but I’m far more open minded now to at least sample some of these albums. But I didn’t expect this! The In Sound from Way Out is essentially a compilation (with a few new songs) of their instrumental jazz funk work that they interlaced into prior albums. I think they’re quite good at it too! I probably wouldn’t move mountains to obtain the album, but it’s already here, and it’s a solid Gnosis 11. My tape drawer is fairly empty, so it’s got a long runway. I’m sure they have other material I would enjoy as well. I have one more tape here by them. On a quick sample I heard some rap, but we’ll give it a shot anyway.
