NON PHIXION Vinyl & CDs

Review: First time released on 7" vinyl, and taken from the critically-acclaimed Non Phixion album The Future Is Now. This reissue of Strange Universe includes the original LP version produced by Necro, plus two new remixes by The Czar-Keys and Marco Polo. The Strange Universe was birthed amongst the numerous blunted, Colt 45 malt liquor-fuelled sessions Non Phixion had with Doom at their Area 51 studio in Canarsie in 1998. Necro provided the beat, which everyone thought sounded like something Doom would have made. It was one of the first songs recorded for The Future Is Now.

Review: Fresh off their NYC Halloween reunion appearance, indie powerhouse Non Phixion dropped The Future Is Now back in 2003. This latest reissue is a special 20th-anniversary version that comes on purple vinyl following various other bumper-sized deluxe editions over the years. The music remains as potent and powerful as ever with both die-hard fans and newcomers sure to be satisfied. The jams come thick and fast here but the long legs and hard bars of 'Suicide Bomb' (feat The Beatnuts, Al Tariq, Marly Metal & Moonshine) are a standout.
