MNEMONIC ASCENT

* Crooknecks follow up to massive releases from Lazy Grey & the 15 Oz Vinyl compilation.
* Mnemonic Ascent comprises members MC RAPH, DJ RANSOM & producer BVA. Consistently original and fiercely passionate, they deliver hiphop records that make you think, smile, dance and nod your head. With one of Australia's most seasoned DJ's RANSOM at the helm of the group as producer and turntablist, Mnemonic Ascent's sound is both refreshing and distinct.
* Recent collaborative efforts include Koolism's "Part 3" (Winner of an ARIA for 2004 Best Urban Release) and Muph+Plutonic's "Hunger Pains" (Obese).
* Delivering the long-awaited follow up to their first LP "The Outside Inn", Mnemonic Ascent have returned with a soundscape of new songs guaranteed to satisfy the hungriest hip hop listener.
* Devoid of gimmicks and superfluous production, the Mnemonic formula is simple: bass heavy, warm, sample-based production combined with honest, mature and charismatic lyricism that ranges topically from introspective to braggadocio. BVA and Raph's magnetic songwriting is matched perfectly with Ransom's astute sense of production and turntablism, which is a highlight throughout.
* The album features production from Jolz, Ransom and Adelaide's production duo F&D, as well as guests Spikey Tee (UK) and Muphin (Obese Records).
* "The Book's Full" is a lyrically diverse, full bodied release from start to finish; starting with BVA's solo "In Here" which represents the group's belief in the traditional roots of hip hop. The Mnemonic vision is embodied within BVA's sentiments; "nowadays they rock the house with a keyboard and a mouse, my crew keeps it hype with turntables and a mic".
* From the feelgood choruses of "Hold Back", to the gritty attack of "Freezer", to the love song "Let you down", Mnemonic Ascent continue to prove themselves as all-rounders equally capable of rocking the party, making you think, smile or nod your head.

* "The Book's Full" is a refreshing, soulful release and a gentle reminder that integrity and originality in music is very much still something to believe in.
