By 1994 the beasties had settled into their cultural role as the grand arbiters of cool, and ill communication is pretty much a catalog of coolness: live funk, a bit of hardcore, ingenious samples of obscure records, keyboards by analogue master money mark, guest shots by q-tip and biz markie, mca's cop-show metal number 'sabotage', and the inevitable cascade of witty old-school rhymes. but it's also a surprisingly mature record from a band that had, after all, been at it for 12 years already. the original jazz-funk instrumentals hold their own with the group's favorite sample sources. their voices are modestly buried in the mix, and they've tempered their old snottiness with lyrical compassion: check out 'bodhisattva vow', a salute to buddhist spirituality.
