	Rjd2: Since We Last Spoke (2004): Reviews
		Since We Last Spoke continually subverts expectations of what an Rjd2 album is about, yet the songs all stick together in a cohesive way, and the album still somehow bears the distinct personality stamp of the RJ we already knew, even as some of it diverges wildly from the path he's been on so far.
		What makes Since We Last Spoke such an indisputably groundbreaking record is Rjd2's ability to create such an intricate pastiche of diverse musical styles that it seems like a wholly new genre in and of itself.
		Since We Last Spoke is more sonic retreat than bold reinvention, an intriguing, if not entirely triumphant, tip of the hat to the sound and spirit of the Year of the Dragon.

	* Dusted Reviews - RJD2 *
		While Deadringer was a tour de force of soul and funk powered by Krohn’s infectious style of boom bap hip hop, on Since We Last Spoke his feelers are out, experimenting with everything from rock and grunge, to pop and new wave.
		While Deadringer focused primarily on lost soul and funk, Since We Last Spoke experiments with a wide range of voices as Krohn arranges his music to compliment each centerpiece.
		From the failed speed injected ’80s tune “Through the Walls” or the crossbreeding of IDM and electronica on “Iced Lightning,” some of Krohn’s experimentations fall flat in their quest to be too much too fast.

	Since We Last Spoke \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		Like Andre 3000's The Love Below, RJD2's Since We Last Spoke bends hip-hop-informed techniques and sensibilities toward an end result that often bears only a passing resemblance to rap.
		Since We Last Spoke finds RJD2 sounding like some blessed creature who's able to tune in every radio station in the world, past and present, and mix them together into a cohesive whole.
		Morphing effortlessly from twee, fragile, vaguely retro dream-pop to haunted, dusty soul to driving rock, Since We Last Spoke should cross over into unexpected places, rocking coffeehouses and dorm rooms as well as clubs and live venues.

	Definitive Jux \| Press \| "Since We Last Spoke" Review
		In the two years since that album dropped, the label, the scene, and RJ himself appears to have gone through some changes which might not sit well with every listener, yet in terms of innovation and listenability RJD2 is the same as he ever was.
		There isn't much time to be bored, though, since the song only lasts two and a half minutes and, all things considered, leaves you wanting more.
		Not just an album of hip-hop beats waiting for rappers, RJD2's latest record seems to say that since we last spoke, RJ has been in the lab reinventing himself; not for another album, or even another song, but for every second that passes through your ears.

	The last word - Music - www.theage.com.au
		Since its success, RJD2 has become something of the hot-producer-for-hire, helming albums and remixing tracks for artists such as Nightmares On Wax, the Polyphonic Spree, Souls of Mischief, Elbow, Diverse, Massive Attack, Mos Def, Blueprint, Copywrite and fellow Def Juxers Aesop Rock and Cannibal Ox.
		There was a wall of expectation built around the success of Deadringer, and early sessions (where he tied himself to a self-imposed agenda to make a "rock" record) were abandoned after he finally freed himself up to write in any direction he was taken.
		Since We Last Spoke is a logical successor to Deadringer, but RJD2 is clearly evolving.

	Since last we spoke...
		At the end of last week's ep, I suspected Raythor was working with the Guardians, and this week it turns out I was right, and I loved how they explained that, and the trick they'd set for Phobos...
		Last night after work I lay in bed for a long time thinking of things to say about work.
		And then the ep from last night should rerun on Friday morning, so I should set the VCR to tape that, and watch it before my tape of Monday's eps.

	RJD2 :: Since We Last Spoke :: Definitive Jux
		Since becoming affiliated with Definitive Jux, his albums have been sonic masterpieces which bring production skills to the forefront.
		While he carefully tailors the tracks with vocalists on them to make their raps shine, his solo works are just as invigorating and enjoyable.
		Q-Tip once dubbed himself "The Abstract Poet" to show there were no limits to his versatility, and sonically speaking RJD2's "Since We Last Spoke" does the same thing.

	Interview with Neil R. Clark, CeNeS Pharmaceuticals plc: TWST
		Clark: The key developments since we last spoke are, having ridden the wave as a newly floated company in early 2000 and having completed an acquisition of a small Nasdaq-listed company in late 2000, CeNeS then ran into difficulties as the sector fell away in terms of its overall market cap performance.
		There are a lot of companies, especially in the UK and Europe, that over the last 12 or 18 months have really had to face up to cash shortfalls and restructuring because there is no real appetite for biotech companies.
		We are quite proud that the restructuring has met its targets and we’re now sitting here with a small well-funded company with a small focused pipeline and a simple story, which is something it didn’t have in the early days when it was a more complicated business.

		The early word on RJD2's Since We Last Spoke is that it's something of a disappointment, especially coming on the heels of the robust, near-heroic Dead Ringer.
		True, it is willfully introspective and less frenetic than that auspicious debut; there are no headline-grabbing raps by his old crew, MHz, or loud elephant horns heralding the Def Jukkie attack on the mainstream.
		Since We Last Spoke has enough keepers, including the blazing title cut and the funky disco within "Iced Living," to stack up against most instrumental albums, if not the wildly ambitious Dead Ringer.

	Randomville: Rjd2 - Since We Last Spoke
		Rjd2’s combination of expert turntable skills and haunting samples brought to mind another pioneer, DJ Shadow, whose 1996 album Entroducing, is regarded as the holy grail of instrumental hip-hop (and is very similar sounding to Dead Ringer).
		It’s as if Rjd2 is grandstanding in a way and each of the twelve tracks on Since We Last Spoke is just an excuse to show off his range of producing skills, to be everything to everyone.
		Since We Last Spoke does showcase his diversity, perhaps sacrificing the songwriting to an extent.

	Rainydawg Radio - RJD2 - Since We Last Spoke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		With the release of his latest offering, "Since We Last Spoke," RJD2 strays away from his past customary formula, welcoming in a unique eclectic sound that sounds fresh after repeat listens.
		Both songs fit well in the mix; the former is a bit gloomy but still enjoyable while the latter could easily by placed into the soundtrack for “Fast Times at Ridgemount High”—and, in my opinion, that’s a good thing.
		Similarly, "Since We Last Spoke" does not exhibit the pure genius behind "Dead Ringer," but in no way does that make RJD2’s latest album a disappointment.

	RJD2 Since We Last Spoke
		His astounding artistry with a sampler has since led RJ to production and remix work for everyone from hip-hop peers like Souls Of Mischief and Diverse to indie-rock outsiders Elbow and The Polyphonic Spree, all of which make expectations for his sophomore set very high indeed.
		The wonderfully titled Since We Last Spoke arrives with mixed blessings, somehow managing to exceed the aforementioned expectations and dash the listener’s hopes.
		As a consequence, Since We Last Spoke ends up a jumpy, uneven affair that unlike the beautifully sequenced Deadringer, doesn’t have the satisfactory feel of a proper album.

	washingtonpost.com: RJD2 "Since We Last Spoke" Definitive Jux ROB SONIC "Telicatessen" Definitive Jux DIPLO "Florida" ...
		The terms "rap" and "hip-hop" are often used interchangeably, but as rap has become more mainstream, some hip-hoppers have scurried in the opposite direction.
		In the pioneering tradition of collagist DJ Shadow and conjurer Tricky, such audio experimentalists as RJD2, Rob Sonic and Diplo are teaching synths, samplers and turntables some new tricks.
		"Since We Last Spoke," RJD2's second album, shows wider range than his debut, "Dead Ringer." That's not altogether a good thing.

	Album Review: RJD2 - Since We Last Spoke
		Since We Last Spoke shows that instead of just a lot of tracks, RJ has a whole bunch of different ideas this time around, but has edited them down to something more manageable.
		The last moment of "One Day" may well be the best sixty seconds of music he's done.
		As the vocals slowly stutter, "Love Be No Fool," the piano line underneath evokes what sounds like a long lost Massive Attack melody.

		Yet RJ's sophomore full-length, the rock bandwagon-jumper Since We Last Spoke, ups the ante in reconsidering who we've been and what we felt.
		His new backward glance results in a million-moment march toward alternate history, somewhere between Kanye's millionaire squatters' residence and TV on the Radio's shadowy borderland.
		Do that, and questions of whether Since We Last Spoke is hip-hop dissipate.

	Beats, Riffs, and Life (Seattle Weekly)
		At the risk of making guitar purists stain their "Disco Sucks" T-shirts with tears of rage, let me propose that the best rock album released so far this year was made with a sampler.
		On the surface, Spoke is a big, sloppy love letter to the heady days of polyester-age funk-pop and all the bands that made it possible—Babe Ruth, Mandrill, Pacific Gas and Electric.
		The L.A.-to-Rio Latin-funk dance cut "Since '76" builds a plausible illusion of old-school Tropicalia before the tweeting Moog riffs and jaunty horn hooks fold in on themselves, imploding, dropping out, and backspinning furiously for the next go-round.

		No doubt about it, Rjd2 is one of the greatest hip-hop one-man shows out there, proving time and again that the genre has a lot more to offer than samples of TV theme songs and leaning back to get bling.
		If his first record, 2002’s Dead Ringer, was a tribute to the streets, Since We Last Spoke can be hailed a tribute to the sheets—bedsheets, of course (were you thinking spreadsheets?
		Rj looks to put a little funk and sex into his tracks and the result is a whirlwind of heat that’ll take you back to the days when HIV was just a strange letter combination.
