When best ofs start cluttering music publications nationally, burn them if they don’t include Moments In Movement amidst their rateables of 2006. The debut full length from Melbourne via Sydney via Johannesburg heroine Macromantics captures all the life lessons she’s accrued, delivering them through some of the most accomplished and stylistically developed hip-hop you’ll find this side of L.A. With an unrivalled maturity in terms of social, political and personal consciousness, Macro delivers her astute observations unobtrusively, giving you as much reason to ponder her lyrical vehemence as she does to shake your booty. Her collaborative prowess (with Ground Components, underground US rapper Sage Francis and Sydney producer Tony Buchen, aka Buchman) attests to her versatility, but ultimately it’s Macromantics’ all encompassing approach that makes her stand out as one of the more exceptional artists around, Australian or otherwise.
