Editorial Reviews
MC Dalek and beat master Oktopus unfurl a collection of dreamlike instrumentals, 10-ton remixes, and scarce gems from the last seven years. This is no odds 'n' sods collection but rather an addendum to a body of work that already rests comfortably atop underground hip-hop's proverbial heap. Over the ominous grind of metallic friction and industrial-strength beats, MC Dalek flows like silk on glass, foregoing all the usual hip-hop lyrical conventions for something darker, more textural, and infinitely memorable. "While many MCs are hacking up congestion labeled as 'hip-hop', Newark's mic fiend Dalek and producer Oktopus are the genre's Robitussin: viscous, bracing, wary, and woozy" - Urb. "Too brutal to be hip-hop, too beat-oriented to be labeled rap-metal, and they use enough layered white noise to earn comparisons to My Bloody Valentine..." - Drowned In Sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fan-friggin-tastic,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Deadverse Massive 1: Dalek Rarities (Audio CD)
I was expecting more of a B-sides feel, but this is at least as good as ...Gods and Griots. The opening track is flawless, and although there are a few less engaging moments spread throughout the record, most tracks maintain the standard set by the Megaton remix. Rogue, In This City and Back to Burn are other high points, and although Streets All Amped brings Dalek about as close to mainstream flirtation as I've heard from the crew so far, it's still damned good.
Oh... if you think Jay-Z or 50-Cent are skilled hip-hop artists, then avoid this record like the plague, because unlike those clowns, this is good.
