Intro

Edd Bundy is back with a new instrumental project. His love for cake is represented in this 9 track instrumental project with a superhero theme. I just finished my daily reading in a Zen Buddhism book (This is really useless info), so I can listen to this project mindfully and give you guys an honest review. 

Let's do this!

Review

People still don't like to read, so I won't be getting to detailed into all the 9 instrumentals. I am a producer myself, so I could be yapping for hours about one single kick drum sound. I will just gonna give this an quick overview per track.

1. The Recipe Intro

This track is just an intro.. No beats to hear. The intro is well put together, but honestly I am not a really big fan of intros. This one definitely a fitting intro.

2. Rap Titans

This sample catched my attention instantly! The verse part sounds great. Really high energy stuff. The hook has a dope vocal sample in it, which definitely gives a comic vibe. The transition between hook and verse goes really smooth. The beats doesn't have a lot of switches on it, but that not annoying me.

3. The Punisher

I love this guitar sample in this one. My guitar teacher was a bit of a cunt, but I kept my love for the sound of the guitar. This beat is really my style. A deep, sinister vibe that smoothly fades into a hook part. Like the first one, not really a lot of switches in the beat.. but hey, it's a beattape, not a movie soundtrack.

4. Angst

Random fact: The word 'Angst' is Dutch (and also German) for fear. This beat doesn't really strikes fear into me, but has a really heroic, but also sad vibe. Like the homie Edd Bundy lost his cake, but is on a mission to get it back! I love the crashes in this track, also some subtile scratchwork is really catching my attention.

5. Half A Desert

'Half A Desert' is a banger! This orchestral sample bangs! The vocal speech in the beat and the 'Like This' scratch really add versatility to this beat! A short banger!

6. Rapman

This one is a mafia type beat.. well that what my first impression is. Maybe I just watch too much mafia movies. The drums go really well with the cool sample. This could be the soundtrack for Batman when he fights against the mobster goons of the Penguin in a back alley.

7. Thor Son of Odin

This is more of a trap type beat. It has a really heroic vibe to it. Trap isn't really my thing, but this is refreshing. More epicness from the good sir Mr. Bundy.

8. So Called Heroes

Very dope Avengers intro sample, it's really catches my attention. The intro sample fades into a really sad guitar.. and like I told you guys before: I love guitars. Maybe this track was made when Edd Bundy stepped on some cake.. we will never know. What I do now is that this beat is really deep and has some nice switches in it.

9. Still Wonder

'Still Wonder' opens with an epic sample with a little vocal fragment in it! YES.. Vocal samples! This is a really hyped track with nice switches in it!

Long story short (The Overview)

Edd Bundy's goal was to deliver a comic book / superhero themed instrumental project and that's exactly what he did: creating an epic instrumental project. My only point of attention is that the beats were looped.. like someone was suppose to rap on it. Anyways this can is the style Edd choose and I don't wanna be a cunt about it. I am a man that likes switches in beats (when the beats are not for an MC) This is a matter of taste. And with that said Edd Bundy is a hip hop beatmaker and not a movie score composer (at least I think so). Edd Bundy created an project that has banging beats on it. The beats are mixed very well and you can clearly hear that Eddie is a veteran producer that knows what he is doing.

This album is downloadable for free, so get it for free or make a donation to the good man. He clearly deserves that after creating this project.

Favorite track

'The Punisher' is my favorite track.

This one is deep and sinister at the same time. I was really vibing to this one.. Love it!
