notes

The debut album from Audible Mainframe, a live hip-hop band formed in Boston in 2003, now living in Southern California.

Framework finds the fledgling band recording together for the first time, supporting MC Exposition's poetic observations of life in the new millenium. The band had barely been together a year, when they won the 2003 Beantown Meltdown Battle of the Bands, and simultaniously scored a recording deal with college label Emerson Records.

By this time, MC Expo, already a respected lyricist in the local scene, had released his debut album "The Metro" to critical acclaim across the East Coast and beyond. Creating a live band to take the music to the stage seemed like the logical next step.
Coupled with the unique beats of The D-Boyz (DJ MUTT and guitarist Lethal D), the songs found on "The Metro" comprised the new band's live set, until the group was offered a 3-month period of time to write, record, mix, and master the album that would become Framework.

The hectic pace aside, the album came together smoothly, with the band and some friends from the Boston music scene spending the first two months of 2004 in the same studio that houses the venerable college music station, 88.9fm WERS.

Released in the spring of 2004, "Framework" debuted at number 14 on the College Music Charts, and opened many doors for Audible Mainframe, who would go on to become one of Boston's most noteworthy live hip-hop groups.

With featured guests such as Boston emcee Reks, singer Kelli Scarr (formerly of Moonraker), Toussaint the Liberator (formerly of Soulive), and a 5-piece DJ collective known as "The Deck Demons", Framework has something for everyone.


After many setbacks, we are happy to announce "Transients", the new album from AMF is coming later this year... Stay Tuned!

    author: Jeannie

    Good variety; keeps you listening because you don't know what is coming next! Great blend of different instruments, vocals, and GREAT messages. Keep 'em coming!

  • author: MLF-N

    This is from the aunt of a future band member. So I am biased. But hey, I am valid. I am not a big hip-hop fan. But this album. I mean to say. I love it. Of course knowing someone from Cape Verde is singing, with a husband from Senegal and a love of Africa. That helps. But that alone couldn't do it. This is a great album. There is pathos and drive. And the satire in Caffeind is beyond compare!! Thank you and I am now your avid fan!!

  • this cd is packed with lyrics that'll make heads spin.

  • author: Adriane

    Great album with the ability to keep fans of independent hip-hop happy without alienating the average listener. Album is politically aware and inquisitive. Filled with songs that will make you think and songs that will make you dance. Ooh, and mc exposition's voice is hot!

  • Nice blends of Smart Rap and Skillful talent
    author: Si

    Nice blend of conscious rap and skills, with enough melodic influence on choruses to make it all sound right. These samples are great. Overall good 5/5*. Visit me at www.cdbaby.com/si2 . Peace....SI

  • Maimframe controls Germany Radio (right now)!!!
    author: Yohahn Gustoff

    In Muncheon right now. Audible Maimframe is murder on compact disc. They are killing the German scene. They have very great taste for music and the hip hop flavorish. Why is there no one else in AMerica right now? Why don't they press wax for the discotethque? Why are you asleep? Das Kapital is a majorly real and devastating look at American politic and disgust for the sour robot leader. Warlord beware! If you are going to pick up the album, make sure you have plenty of toilet paper and an oven mit....because it is really really HOT HOT SHIT. VIVA!!!

  • Classy n' Cool... and very impressive
    author: Cristina Calderaro

    I am so impressed with "Framework," Audible Mainframe's debut CD. These guys have proven that they are not only capable of making extraordinary music, but also of thinking outside the box, creating change, and most certainly, of composing a good time. Whether you listen to them live, or at home with a bottle of red, these guys are masters at arousing the senses, and moving the mind, body and soul... Buy this CD- it's hot!

  • author: Tamara Turner, CD Baby

    Audible Mainframe has a way of making you appreciate the hip hop genre on a new level. First off, is their poetry that triggers chills as they cut to the raw core of social issues abroad and at home, from the plight of forgotten Iraqi children to political corruption, homelessness and close-minded cultural paradigms on our own soil. Esoteric poetry deserves only the highest quality in live hip hop cuts and this, they deliver without a hitch. The bottom line is that there are no corners being cut in this album. All around, it shines. Food for the mind, food for the compassionate humanity in us all, food for discrimating ears. Yum.
