The latest track from El Michels Affair's Enter The 37th Chamber, an album comprised of instrumental renditions of classic Wu-Tang joints, "Glaciers Of Ice" is a shining example of the mastery and virtuosity of both the Wu-Tang Clan's original craft and El Michels' ability to interpret and perform. The original track is from Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..., Raekwon's 1995 solo debut LP with guest artist and fellow Wu-Tang member Ghostface Killah. Produced by the RZA, this was a concept album tracing the story of inner city trafficking, and so the overall sound of the album was intentionally haunting and cryptic. El Michels' version of the track keeps in line with this theme, featuring a prominent funk guitar melody, a backup horn section and a gritty, retro production quality typical of the El Michels sound that gives us the feeling of watching a classic mobster movie. Rae and the whole Wu-Tang Clan would certainly be pleased with this redux version.
