The Knock (Drums of Death pt.2)

[Pootytang]

Has anyone ever heard of this track from Mike D? I thought I had heard just about everything from all of the guys but I ran across this track on a bit torrent site and I'm blown away by it.

[DeeJayZap]

Yeah its pretty underrated. Rocks a whole lot.

[kleptomaniac]

any way you can let the unfortunate who haven't heard finally hear? :o

[Pootytang]

When I get back home and on my own pc, I will post it if it hasn't been posted already.

[Laver1969]

I've never heard of this one. What time period does it sound like?

[jackrock]

I haven't heard past the 30 second mark but it sounds pretty trippy, and i think it's 1998, laver.

[Laver1969]

I couldn't find any mention of it on Beastiemania. The 30 seconds of the track Pooty left for me on my voicemail sounded noice.

[3MTA3]

It's from the album Psyence Fiction by UNKLE, which is a pretty good album in my opinion, It's definitely worth checking out, if for no other reason than the fact that it features Mike D.

[midzi]

I came upon this track about a year ago on the hub. I like it.

It has been quite widely dismissed

[alexandra]

i heard it for the first time when i was working in a record store two years ago. i said to my fellow worker "hmm, this sounds like mike d from the beastie boys", and he replyed "it is", showed me the cd, and i went :o, 'cause i'd told him that i was a huge beastie boys fan. but i'd never heard that track. :p

[Friis gal]

that is one great song :)

[Chicka B]

whew, that was hot

Exactly! I dig it alot, thank you Pootytang! (y)

[dirtydan11]

pooty pooty pooty i've had this up on the hub for a long long time!

[Pootytang]

I guess I had just missed it all this time. I haven't downloaded anything from the hub in a long while.

[alexandra]

pooty pooty pooty shake yo booty booty booty
if you got any any


aaahaha i was thinking about boobies oh well shake what you got!

[DeeJayZap]

i got it on mp3search.ru a few years ago when i was searching for their names to see if they were featured on anything or remixed anything.

[Kid Presentable]

Wow, I'm amazed some of you guys haven't heard this. It was recorded in 97 I believe. Better late than never. I'd love to be able to hear it for the first time.(y)

Yeah same here. Being a huge DJ Shadow fan I bought Psyence Fiction the first week it came out. Drums of Death was an instant favorite for me. Celestial Annihilation is my second favorite track off that album. Check it out if you have the time and want to hear a bangin ass beat!:cool:

^^Exactly...I must have completely missed the meeting about this song in the past. I thought I had heard everything.

Nice job Pooty!

[Justin]

Mike d is a ROCK STAR!

[gaselite]

Psyence Fiction yo, DJ Shadow rocks my world

[JohnnyChavello]

I don't know, I remember getting the U.N.K.L.E. CD when it came out and I was definitely excited to see what this song sounded like. Prior to this the Beasties weren't doing many featured appearances on others' albums. I thought the verses by Mike were phoned in. He just redoes some stuff from old rhymes. It's alright, but if I were DJ Shadow or James Lavelle, I'd have been really disappointed. It's a trend, though, for Mike. Listen to his rhymes on the Handsome Boy Modeling School track Metaphysical--they're really uninspiring. He obviously saves the better material for Beastie albums.

Here's (http://img432.imageshack.us/img432/5750/unklepsyencefictionsm7an.jpg) the innersleeve (well, one of them) of the LP. I bought it mainly for the Thom Yorke collaboration (Rabbit in your headlights), and there's Richard Ashcroft from Verve as well. Guess I haven't been listening to it a lot since buying it ages ago...

[Pres Zount]

A friend of mine and I always used to yell at each other "Ima break it down ina unkle style!"

I sat in on one of her universsity lectures and was listening to my mp3 player, when the this song came on I turned it up really loud on the "Ima break it down ina unkle style!" part, and someone told me to turn it down.

Classic story.

Yeah, quite baffling.

God damn you whippersnappers!!!!! There was no such thing as an mp3 player when I was in college. Or maybe they came out right at the end, but they were like $10 million dollars or sum shit!

I wouldn't call that "rhymin'." More like, "talkin'."

[Kid Presentable]

The album is gold, too. everybody should pick it up. I listen to it all the time, and have done since it came out.

[laidback93]

I lost the cover to my UNKLE cd. I do remembering it looking like that.

Thom Yorke was wearing stunner shades years before they were cool!!! :cool: :p

[Kid Presentable]

I'm pretty sure Jason Newstead plays bass and theremin on that song, too.

[kll]

I received this from a guy in Buffalo, NY back in 2002. Great track.
