3.0 out of 5 stars
Come out, come out, DJ Faust, wherever you are, February 8, 2001
This review is from: Inward Journeys (Audio CD)
OK, Faust may be the finest turntablism practitioner there is. Yes, 'Man or Myth?' hinted at a breadth of vision sufficient to create a masterpiece, an album weighty enough to transcend the rather severe limitations of the genre. Unfortunately, this isn't it. Many of the tracks are mind-bogglingly good. Some of the scratching is not to be missed. But the "concept"--dividing the record into constituent "elements" of Fire, Wind, Water, and Earth--seems an afterthought at best, and a tired one at that. It provides no coherent framework for the material, and you will have abandoned the project on grounds of tedium long before reaching its finest moment, 'The Phoenix', the last of 25 tracks.
