The Souls of Mischief, almost grown up on their second album, deliver a gloomy reckoning with Californian reality with »No Man’s Land« in 1995. Beats booming out of the speakers meet jazz samples and raps that tell of frustration, identity and the struggle for survival. This is how Phesto, Tajai, Opio and A-Plus developed a sound that remained outside the mainstream and was to characterise the music for decades. Now this pioneering work is returning to the shelves as a reissue on vinyl.
