OutKast: ATLiens (LaFace 73008- 26029-2)

Jeff Lorez, Blues & Soul, 17 September 1996

THIS IS certainly something of a change from their debut platinum selling set, but it makes for interesting listening never the less. OutKast's producers, Organized Noize Productions stay very much to the left of centre musically. They have their own laid back southern fried, somewhat abstract approach to creating tracks, especially for their hip-hop groups and the musical, eerie, almost folky feel to the opening intro 'You May Die', with a female lead vocal lets you know you're in for something different.
