Discography
Antipop Consortium is an Americanalternative hip hop group. The group formed in 1997, when Beans, High Priest, M. Sayyid, and producer Earl Blaize met at a poetry slam in New York City.[1] They are notable for their stream-of-consciousness lyrics and musical references to contemporary composition methods.[citation needed]
History[edit]
The group released several tape singles and two albums primarily on Dan the Automator's experimental hip-hop label 75 Ark before being signed by Warp Records in 2000. Their releases were met with mixed reviews from the mainstream music and underground hip-hop press alike, although they are noted for their inventiveness and the experimental electronic productions contributed by all members. They were frequently compared to other rappers with unorthodox lyrics, such as Kool Keith, MF Doom and Aesop Rock. In 2001, they opened for Radiohead during the European leg of their Amnesiac tour and subsequently toured with DJ Shadow.[citation needed]
The group disbanded due to creative differences in August 2002, with Beans pursuing a solo career while High Priest and M. Sayyid formed Airborn Audio, which released a single album, Good Fortune, on Ninja Tune in 2005, and toured with The Faint and Bright Eyes. All three members have pursued solo projects since the group's breakup.[citation needed]
Antipop completed their third album before they broke up, released in February 2003 as Antipop Consortium vs. Matthew Shipp.[citation needed]

After a series of cassette only releases on the own label Antipop Recordings and some underground singles the label Ark 75 released the group's debut album 'Tragic Epilogue' in 2000.
Their music is bridging the gap between Hip Hop and Intelligent Dance Music. Because of that avantgarde electronic label Warp Records, known for releasing such artists as Aphex Twin or Autechre, signed the Group in 2001 and released the EP 'The Ends Against The Middle' and 2002 the second album 'Arrythmia' with world wide acclaim. So the music came also more and more into the ears of electronic listeners.
After a long cooperation and uncountable collaborations and side projects with other artists the group temporarily split in August 2002 to pursue other projects. They reformed in August 2007.
