RJD2 recently released a collection of material spanning his the height of his career, which includes an EP of previously unreleased stuff entitled Tin Foil Hat. While nothing groundbreaking, I find myself really enjoying the EP. Rather than some of the bigger beats of his recent work, Tin Foil Hat finds RJD2 going back to his funkier roots with a lot of interesting instrumentation. The long and winding Thine Planetarium sounds like a long lost collaboration between DJ Shadow and RJD2 that was then used to score some dark dystopian film. A little obtuse I know, but like the first couple of tracks on the EP, Thine Planetarium sees RJD2 mixing his ear for exciting rhythm with some atmospheric and funky strings to great effect. If you like RJD2, Tin Foil Hat is a definite add to your itunes.

I dig the track, but... electro? *Just* electro?? That's a little bananas. There is so much more going on in there besides. Peel back the layers, man.
