4 out of 5 stars Entroducing... Substances.......2006-05-18

I found this CD when I was in England in the spring of 97. I never heard of DJ Cam, but I was into Shadow & Krush and thought I'd take a chance. Good move. Although this CD was not at the same level as "Entroducing," "Meiso," or "Milight," it was still a solid effort and showed Cam's production abilities. I remember poping in this disc while riding in my group's van and driving to Glostenbury. The beats on this disc were a mash-up of Hip-Hop and electronica, making a bridge between the two styles and pulling an audience from both groups.

I'm glad I got the CD when I did; because I honestly have never seen a copy of it again. Worth the 10 pounds I paid for it and this may about 6 years late, but to the guy that wanted to know what he sampled on the track "Twilight Zone." THE SCORE FROM INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE.

1 out of 5 stars what the.......2004-09-07

DJ Cam's effort on this was very mediocre. Although I must say I am highly impressed with artists such as Shadow and Krush. This guy just doesnt seem to click into anything. Not funky enough to be dancey, not trippy enough to be meditationally deep. It just sits in the middle as one of those definate back ground albums and I for one never expect music to be in the back ground so this will be heading stright back to the second hand shop I bought it from. Was worth seeing hes worth.

4 out of 5 stars ...Cam(e) back to attack..........2001-01-16

After displaying a different vibe with the live studio mix of K7's Dj Kicks, Cam revisits that Jazz Vault that was prominent on his "Mad Blunted Jazz" album. rase1bannon made mention in a review of Cam's "French Connection" that Cam is not as "groundbreaking" as Krush or Shadow. I would venture to say, that what makes Shadow "groundbreaking" is how he took the baseline from Metallica's "Orion" and used it in "The number song". Well if "Friends and Enemies", "Essences"(of any part), or "Hip Hop Pioneers" does nothing for you, then at least wonder how a guy from France watches "Interview with the Vampire" and takes the opening theme and makes it into one of the Hardest yet most beautiful tracks "Twilight Zone". Pretty "groundbreaking" really.

5 out of 5 stars question.......2000-07-17

hi, is there anyone who knows what DJ cam contained the samples in TWILLIGHT ZONE? the orchestra on the dirty beat, please tell me

3 out of 5 stars abstract hiphop?.......2000-03-22

The growing world of abstract hiphop is producing some great material, but to qualify as hip hop, it must be hiphop, and that means it has to be real. Dj Cam's "Substances" seems to forget that at times, verging more towards ambient and triphop. While the fusion of arabic music,hiphop instrumentals and jazz produces some fresh results (check out "lost kingdom")underground hiphop headz might find the whole album too detached from the raw beats and street philosophy they're used to.

      4 out of 5 stars Truely Excellent!!!.......1999-08-26

      DJ Cam is by far the best French DJ on the scene. His use of Jazz and truely abstraKt beats and samples makes SUBSTANCES his most influencial effort. It lays the foundation for everything he has done since. It pays tribute to that which has influenced him most ...the NY underground... and brings to the table that which really makes him unique in the trip hop/hip hop arena. Check MAD BLUNTED JAZZ, THE BEAT ASSASSINATED and his Studio K7 mix...peace

      2 out of 5 stars empty trip-hop.......1999-08-05

      DJ Cam is one of the best french DJs. But this early album of him is so flat and clumsy trip-hop(The ambient-style piano dub of this album is so unexpected and unforeseen...The other hand, hip-hop beats and scratches are too limited).....

      I'd rather recommend another album 'DJ Kicks!' released in !K7 label than 'Substances'.
      This is the worst DJ Cam CD ever bought...

      5 out of 5 stars Jazz style with DJ beats.......1999-01-28

      This CD has something for every fan of DJ-mixes: big beats, creative samples, and a little scratching technique here and there. The two songs with Kakoli Sengupta are incredible, as her voice floats above the mixes. I'm not quite sure I understand the short tracks used as intervals between the songs (Are they their own pieces? Do they prelude the style of the next song?), but the different format of the album is pretty cool. The extra tracks aren't much to write home about, so the newly released domestic version is probably a better value, but "Substances" is a fantastic album overall.
