5.0 out of 5 stars Serial Wax Killer at Large, April 8, 2000

By	ess (Volcanoland) - See all my reviews

Don't get me wrong, Anti Theft Device was an exceptionally wild album, which got enough airtime that I started to wonder if the laser could possibly wear grooves into it. Then I pick up Eye of the Cyklops, MMM's second solo album, the day it hit the stores. I expected it to be short (due to the low price), and I won't complain about the fact that this EP is only 22 minutes long, because I'm grateful that MMM even exists. This is the coolest 22 minutes of music I have heard in a very long time, and every time I hear it the sounds get more complex and the beats get more infectious. Don't waste any more time, buy it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars For the DJ in all of us..., October 10, 2001

By	eightpointagenda "Sean" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

It should come to a shock that I am reviewing something like this. I mean, come on. I used to be straight up metal man. Now look at me. I'm listening to a CD that's central instrument is a guy who takes old vinyl and essentially makes beats. So even with that simple premsise, why do I love it so much?

I guess it stems from me being a fairly rythmic person(I play drums and some hand percussion). The beats come on fast and furious. Heck, the first three tracks are over in less then 3 minutes! But the rythms are strong, heavy, and pulsating. Good for them times when you gotta groove or blowing out someones car speakers.

The one thing that serperates Mix Master Mike from the rest of the lack-luster DJs(the only on I can really think of is Lethal) is in his(no pun intened) mixing ability. Everything fits so well. While the majority of this record is just slapping you with beats, melody kicks in every once and awhile, making for diveristy(patrol knob is a good example). The really cool part about it is how fast everything comes at you.

While I don't plan on buying a lot of DJ music, Mix Master Mike stands above the crowd of annoying rap-rock DJ looking to make a quick buck. Mixing samples with techincality is something that isn't seen too often. M3 pulls it off quite nicely. Plus, you can't go wrong with that price if you get interested...

5.0 out of 5 stars It Just Don't Get Fresher Than This, March 26, 2000

By A Customer

If you can appreciate turntable music, then this is turntable music at its prime. Even if you don't know what "turntable music" is, you can still dig this ill space s**t. Drop everything and run out and get this boom bangin album right now. Cuz it just don't get fresher than Mix Master Mike.
