Not unlike other creatures, vikings sometimes die... even space vikings. To honor these great warriors as they depart for Valhalla, Mux Mool offers his free EP, Viking Funeral (2010, Ghostly International). Were he still alive, I could imagine Arthur C. Clarke busting a move to Brian Lindgren's deep space Dilla productions. The standout tracks for me have to be the ass-savy Ladies Know (Live Edit), the equally maxin' Drum Babylon & the thumping Goblin Town. I would have downloaded this just to get Goblin Town, a big beat reworking of a jam from the 1977 Rankin/Bass animated production of The Hobbit. Every time I play this track, two hands pop out of Tolkien's grave giving the thumbs up. The final cut is a freestyle remix of Death 9000 featuring a broadcast from Prof and P.O.S. If you like Skulltaste (2010, Ghostly International), rewind a bit and check this out!
