Three mixes of a funk-sampling favourite and a set of blistering live cuts make up Root Down, the Beastie Boys' 1995 EP, here pressed on limited 180 gram colored vinyl.
It arrived in the afterglow of Ill Communication, when the trio were in peak form as a live act. The title track had already become a fan favourite thanks to its loping Jimmy Smith sample, and the EP doubled as a postcard from the road, catching the band touring Europe in early 1995.
Side one belongs to Root Down itself. The Free Zone Mix stretches the groove into something looser and dubbier, while Prince Paul's PP Balloon Mix adds his trademark off-kilter humour to the beat.
Then the live recordings take over, and they show just how wide the band's range had become. Time To Get Ill revisits the Licensed To Ill days, Sabrosa lets the instrumental side of the group stretch out with Money Mark's keys, and Something's Got To Give closes on a hazy, psychedelic float. Hardcore blasts like Heart Attack Man keep the punk roots firmly in view.
Root Down captures the Beastie Boys at their most restless and inventive, and on heavyweight vinyl it makes a fine companion to the albums either side of it.
