Originally released through the Beasties\' French fan club, The In Sound from Way Out is a collection of the group\'s funky instrumentals from Check Your Head and Ill Communication, with a couple of new tracks thrown in. The Beasties have a flair for loose, gritty funk and soul-jazz and the stuttering, greasy keyboards of Money Mark give the music an extra edge — he helps make the music sound as authentic as anything from the early \'70s. Fans of the band\'s dynamic wordplay might find The In Sound From Way Out a disappointment, but anyone that grooved on the wildly eclectic fusions of Check Your Head and Ill Communication will find the album endlessly enjoyable.
