This is the type of music I was expecting to hear in the year 2001. Let down by numerous other 01 releases, I didn't have any expectations upon purchase of this fine CD and only bought it because Mike Patton had a hand in putting it out. But from minute one I was hooked. A work of sample and scratch culled from past records, this is kind of like "The Best Of" Eddie Def. It takes the concept of "Noise" music to a more listenable level. An Epicac record that I can actually groove to while I'm crashing into parked cars on Wilshire's Miracle Mile. (I'm not saying the core noise movement is a bad thing, it's just hard to bob my head to whitenoise and feedback).

There isn't really just one song, though there are a few rap lyrics that bubble up here and there, this is more of a freeform collage that comes together like a couple of Marie Calander's pies that fell on the floor and got all mashed together. Blow off the hair & dust, you're left with a mighty tasty treat. I had trouble locating the disc in store: First I was told it was in the rock section. Then I was informed that it was indeed in the Dance/trance section. Perplexed as to where it could be, Me and the friendly customer service guide finally tracted it down to the hip-hop/rap isle, right next to DMX. Hmm.

My favorite part? The part where Eddie Def scrathed the swivey out of Artoo-Deetoo. That killed me and put this record somewhere in my top ten list for 2001, and here at only four months in.

This is one of the coolest DJ's you are going to find. Worth the money for the song Crybaby alone.
