I discovered Substantial a few years ago when I saw his name on a 12” single posse cut. I found him and the others on the track to be typical, talented underground rappers. When I heard he released a full length CD, I was very intrigued. Then, when I heard the first few tracks of Sacrifice, I discovered he was perhaps a bit more talented than I thought. He has a track named “That Damn Good” and I am inclined to agree.

While critical reactions to Hot Chip's third album Made in the Dark have been mixed, the album's go-for-broke approach to pop eclecticism seems to be a hit with music fans -- the last time the 'Chip hit town, it was at La Sala Rossa only a year and a half ago, promoting their breakthrough release The Warning. This time around, they sold out the 2300-capacity Metropolis -- a mixed blessing, as while it's nice to see love for the band, it's easily one of my least favorite venues to negotiate.
