The middle section of a three part series of a cyclical musical journey.  Where The Nobel Whipple Wanes, Crescent Is Molecule is a play on the Nobel Peace Prize winner back in the 30's, physician George Whipple, and the moon cycle.  

"Upon reaching the end, one shall frequent the cycle, in which preservation of self, ether, and molecule presume to be one.  At this point, the breadth of the crescent shines the moon bright, releases the shadows back into nothingness and the cycle resumes again..."

Where The Nobel Whipple Wanes, Crescent Is Molecule Track Listing:

    1.    Cool Breeze feat. The Dungeon Family: "Watch For The Hook" - one of rap's highest quality songs in terms of beat-breakdown, verse-to-verse, lyric-to-lyric.  This is when Outkast and the Goodie Mob were all good with one another...not sure if it's the same anymore...
    2.    Alicia Keys: "Dragon Days" - One of Alicia's best tracks to date.  She strays a bit from the commercial scene with this one, but stays obviously within the pop boundaries.  
    3.    Justin Timberlake: "My Love" - JT is one my personal favorite entertainers, no joke!  This man certainly knows what he's doing, whether it's singing, writing, dancing, acting, or whatever he puts his mind to.  Any of you haters disagree...so be it.
    4.    Sage Francis: "Sea Lion"
    5.    Subtle: "Take To Take" - Anticon reaching to new heights.  Dose One and Jel of Themselves expand with other musicians, and have used their eccentric ways to good use...these guys are very interesting, and in concert, even better.
    6.    Black Keys: "Psychotic Girl" - DJ Dangermouse stole this beat from Cut Chemist's "Spoon." Still a decent track, nonetheless.
    7.    Eligh: "Chronic" - One of the Living Legends out in LA...usually found rolling with Project Blowed.  Eligh is a pretty talented dude, producing his own beats, rapping, as well as doing all originally artwork - very fascinating art as well.
    8.    Tricky: "Cross To Bear" - certainly a new take on Jesus and Mary in these lyrics...got to love Tricky for pushing the boundaries a bit.  Love this track off his new album.
    9.    MGMT: "The Handshake" -  trendy stuff...
    10.    Lou Rhodes: "They Say" - another pitch black-dark song by Lamb front-girl...off one of her solo records.
    11.    S.E.V.A.: "In The Tiger's Mouth" - producer Mumbles from Aceyalone's A Book of Human Language along with another underground head coming out with this interesting blend of worldly music into DJ format with this S.E.V.A. group.
    12.    Unkle: "Eye For An Eye" - off Unkle's second album...the first without DJ Shadow.  Not sure why everybody playa-hates on James Levelle after Shadow's exit...
    13.    Dillinger Escape Plan w/Mike Patton: "Pig Latin" - YES!  here's my math-metal insert.  Some of the most sophisticated music on the planet comes from these freaks from Jersey.  On this 4-track EP, Mike Patton (Faith No More, Tomahawk, Odd Boy, Peeping Tom, Fantomas, etc...) changes their direction, which ultimately becomes the foundation to which later DEP albums derive from.
    14.    Dub Trio: "One Man Tag Crew" - This Berklee School of Music and Texas State trio hops from punk, ska, metal, to reggae/dub beats in a matter of seconds...pretty sweet!  Drummer Joe Tomino is one of the best out there...and the three of them can be heard separately throughout hip-hop.  Joe toured with The Fugees, guitarist DP Holmes played on Common's album, Stu Brooks has played with numerous hip hop gigs, and all three were on earlier mentioned Mike Patton's Peeping Tom record.  
     15.    Radiohead: "Reckoner" - Arguably one of the best songs ever written, period.  
    16.    cirKus: "Born Again" - again, again, again, etc...just go buy this album, Laylow, for christ's sakes!  they are currently working on their second album and should be out before '09.
