El Michels Affair is back with the second installment of their highly acclaimed "Shaolin Series", bridging the ever-so-wide gap between hip hop and instrumental soul. Side A is an instrumental interpretation of the Wu tang classic "Bring Da Ruckus" from their record "Enter the 36 Chambers". Side B, "Duel of the Iron Mic", pays respect to the mood of the originial while strings, horns, and vocal drops put the cover somewhere between the gritty style of Wu Tang and the narrative quality Ennio Morricone song.
