  Gridface: Prefuse 73 feat. Ghostface and El-P: "HideYaFace"
Prefuse 73 is one alias that Scott Herren goes under.
Granted Prefuse 73 is inspired by hip hop, but not so much dirty rude rapping.
Its all in the beat for him and it is rare to hear a Prefuse 73 track with any distinguishable vocals at all.

 The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: Prefuse 73 Pushes Hip-Hop Bounds
Prefuse takes his name from an era of music his alter-ego “holds dear”—the pre-fusion jazz of 1968 to 1973. Also influential for Herren are “80s edit records” and hip-hop, primarily from the years between 1988 and 1995.
Describing the Prefuse sound is an invitation to catastrophe; most focus primarily on the novelty in how he cuts up instruments and vocals.
Prefuse 73, breaks new ground with his newest album Extinguished, which was the basis for his performance at the Paradise last week.

 The Stranger - Music - Feature - Cut & Scratch
This is a thorny issue because Prefuse 73 is white and the rap voices he manipulates are fl.
But Prefuse 73's manic manipulations of the fl voice constitute the final arrival of something that began with the rapper Rakim--particularly his song "Follow the Leader" (1987)--and was continued in the '90s with rappers like Das EFX and Freestyle Fellowship, that being a total preoccupation with the sound and textures of rapping.
Prefuse 73's fascination with the electronic sounds of little machines recalls another era of hiphop, the early New York electro (1981 to 1984) made by DJs and bands like Mantronix, Man Parrish, and Newcleus.

 Line-Up. UK2005 Curated by Vincent Gallo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Technological imperative springs from natural impulse - Scott's watched his hometown turn into a haven for hip hop hustlers who'd play'd themselves out in NY, magpie-eyed B-Boys with bling bling fixations whose heavyweight status is demarcated by the hi-score carats and mineral weights of their chunky chains and chubby rings.
Though trace elements of Scott's southern heritage remain in the honeyed taste of R'n'B divas (reduced to staccato sequences of appetising gulps and gasps), Herren's hip hop policy is pretty scorched earth.
Like each of his identities, Prefuse 73 is a subliminal shout out, a titular tribute giving props to seminal inspirations.

Prefuse was in town on tour with RJD2, who decided to tag along, and Madlib emerged from his studio downstairs.
Prefuse 73: The time the three of us take to make music is crucial.

Rather than being another slice of experimental hip hop Prefuse 73 Reads The Books EP is a collaboration between sound alchemists The Books and underground sonic hip hop splicer Prefuse 73.
As a matter of fact, Prefuse 73 Reads the Books EP is among the more leftfield records that has been released this year.
Prefuse 73 Reads the Books EP is a strangely captivating and very good record from another dimension that only highlights the potential brilliance of further collaborations.

 Prefuse 73: One Word Extinguisher: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The closest he ever came was the laptop catharsis of Delarosa and Asora, which had no secrets to tell; rather, its intricacies of meter and texture gave your head something to do while your guts spilled out over it.
While Herren rarely tries to stand up in two meters at once, he often relies on the juxtaposition of mildly divergent rhythmic feels within the same beat, proving his mastery of some of the subtler tensions available to the instrumentalist.
Sooner or later, it sinks in that we're in the company of an emotional fugitive, sealed in a room with machines whose perfect control, he is convinced, will allow him to avoid the inevitable emotional reckoning.

 Tiny Mix Tapes: Prefuse 73
The Prefuse 73 by way of The Books EP creation not only uncovers the answers, but also creates more questions.
It all adds up to a great record and proof Prefuse 73 is an eclectic musician who is creating the music he loves with the message he wants.
The only problem that the undeniable quality this release poses is whether or not rags are to include two Prefuse 73 albums on their end of the year list.

When his full-length debut Vocal Studies and Uprock Narratives hit in 2001, Prefuse 73 landed in the spotlight; his music incorporated all the freshness of glitch, sample, beat, and scratch along with edgy words on top—plus or minus a few effects, of course.
Prefuse goes up- and downtempo, but mostly the latter, digging deep into R&B roots but also scratching at the tip of the noise iceberg.
Prefuse 73 continues to toy with the boundaries between man and machine, cashmere and nylon, old and new.

 Prefuse 73: One Word Extinguisher - PopMatters Music Review
Prefuse 73 (aka Scott Herren) took an unusual path to the role of iconoclast hip-hop producer.
They are constituted into a series of slowly progressing and generally sunny melodies, expressing Prefuse's role as the ultimate utopianist, a true believer in the perfectibility of humanity and of life.
Similarly, rather than being good to breakdance to, Prefuse 73 is great music for when you're sitting around the flat, daydreaming about being the world's greatest breakdancer.

Scott Herren, otherwise known as Prefuse 73, is one of the most innovative hip-hop artists I have heard for quite some time.
Prefuse 73 has one of the most distinct sounds I have heard in a while and I believe many people are trying to imitate him, but nobody has yet surpassed him, or come close.
Prefuse 73 has an utterly precious musical proposal that will probably keep him away from mainstream acceptance, but virtually guarantees his ascension to greatness in both the hip hop, and electronic undergrounds, if he isn't there already.

On record, Prefuse 73 sounds like a cyborg creation caught in a time trap somewhere between the hot buttered soul of the 70s and the Mantronix-era vintage hip-hop of the mid-1980s.
The whole time Prefuse has been in existence I never had any relevance or connection to name to validate my music.
For me, Prefuse is about making beats; it was more of sample-based project.

Madlib (known to his close homies as Otis Jackson Jr.) and Prefuse 73 (the main production alias of soft-spoken Scott Herren) are changing the sound of hip-hop by pushing the boundaries of modern production.
Between Prefuse’s trademark staccato push-button edit style and Madlib’s dubbed-out jazz loops and dirty drums, these cats are revolutionizing sampled music with each new project.

In contrast to the hectic bricolage characteristic of the Prefuse sound, the new Savath and Savals record draws inspiration from "early 1970s Brazilian psychedelia," Herren said.

Prefuse 73 might be an unusual name, but when you’re a music producer, and are really called Guillermo Scott Herren, but have nothing to do with Gill Scott Heron, then it’s probably a good idea.
Put simply, Prefuse 73 has mastered the art of making the unfamiliar feel familiar.
He appears on the track called Mantra, and despite the innate strangeness to his sound; the expertise of Prefuse 73 ensures it doesn’t feel like it’s being unusual for the sake of it.

 Prefuse 73 - One Word Extinguisher - Review
I said it in my last review of a Prefuse 73 release (the The 92' VS '02 Collection EP), but it bears stating again that pretty much everything Scott Herren has released in his already-prolific career can be counted on for quality.
One Word Extinguisher is only his second full-length under the Prefuse 73 moniker (2 years following his debut Vocal Studies And Uprock Narratives), and it finds him continuing down the path that he's carved out so well.
With it's integration of even more traditional instruments, it's a sign we're probably still just seeing the tip of the iceberg in what Herron has done.

Warp's second 2001 release by a stateside producer (after Richard Devine's Lip Switch) is one of the most enjoyable works of experimental techno heard in several years, a combination of tough, underground hip-hop and the fractured neo-electro of Warp favorites Autechre and Plaid.
However, Prefuse 73 has released an incredible collection of beats and cuts from the Warp label.
