Given his track record, it would be fair to assume that any EP Jamal Moss green lights for release on his Mathematics label doesn't consist of conformist, flavour of the month dross. A Prescription of Love proves that Moss hasn't changed his stance. Produced by Marcello Napoletano—ostensibly a relative newcomer, but thanks to Discogs and MySpace's identity forming capabilities, we may never know for sure—Love flits between a range of underground house styles, sometimes even within the space of the same track.
Napoletano provides a sublime opener with seductive Guidance/Prescription-style jazz house on the title track, then revisits classic Heard deepness with the resonating bass and raw beats of "Planeta Juno." On "Jazz del Sottopassaggio," Napoletano looks to jazz influences again, but this time, the riffs are spacier, the beats lazy and lopsided and the overall feeling one of reckless abandon—but the same warm production feeling applies.
While the discordant bleeps of "Amici" are the only weak link in the release, Jamal Moss's remix of "Linguetta Acida" as Hieroglyphic Being is the wackiest track. More conventional than his recent double-pack—what isn't? —Moss starts with a typically gritty jacking arrangement. However, pretty soon he's introducing eerie oriental stabs, ghoulish synth lines, both of which are eventually subsumed as the underlying acid bleeps mutate into an unstoppable wave of ferocious acid excess. Weird, and often quite wonderful.
