Prince Paul - Psychoanalysis (What Is It?) (2xLP + Poster)
Available for the first time on vinyl in 15 years, Get On Down presents
"Psychoanalysis: What Is It?" – the first, full-length solo project from
the critically acclaimed producer famous for his work with Gravediggaz
and De La Soul
"Psychoanalysis" puts the listener in the room
with Prince Paul and his psychiatrist, a concept album which delves into
the oft-psychotic and mutli-faceted layers of his psyche. Each song on
this album relates to different forms of mental conditions, such as
schizophrenia, hypothalamus, escapism and various manias. The production
of each track on this album plays highly experimental and avant-garde;
closely aligning with the mental disorders from which they are inspired.
Prince Paul truly pushed the envelope with Psychoanalysis and
admittedly was taken aback by the stream of positive reviews that
accompanied it's original release in 1996. While many were accustomed to
his creative fluctuations between darker work with the Gravediggaz and
more famously his lighthearted and influential pairings with De La Soul,
Psychoanalysis proved that Paul could successfully combine his multiple
personalities into one cohesive landscape.
Get On Down is proud
to present Prince Paul's Psychoanalysis on vinyl with an accompanying
reproduction of the original promotional poster. The album was
remastered from the original audio tapes and has been perfected to the
highest standard of quality that defines every Get On Down release.
