I didn't like this the first time around, but after the second listen, I started enjoying it immensly. Maybe I was expecting something like the first offering, where Cut Chemist and Shortkut do some really progressive, crate digging, instructional-record sampling, turntable action. But then this reviewer realized that THAT wasn't their goal, and to compare the first volume to this one would be totally unfair. What Dj Z-Trip and Radar manages to do is to create more of "party" album; though not as experimental as their predeccesors, it is a lot more fun and they show off their skratching skills none-the-less. In this musical gumbo they throw in Afrika Bambaattaa ( "Planet Rock" being a b-boy favorite ), Beastie Boys, Run DMC, LL Cool J ( before he became wack ) Busta Rhymes, Black Sheep, Dj Kool ( everytime I hear "clear my throat" I want to do the Ed Lover dance for some reason ) and Roger & Zapp ( you can never, ever, EVER, go wrong with More Bounce to the Ounce. Never ). All in all, these BombShelter DJs give you reason to take cover from their ensuing sonic assault.

i was highly disappointed with the reviews of this cd... this disc blew me away! radar and z trip handle the tables gracefully with a raw energy that seems to drip not only from the skratches, fades and fills they add to each track, but even from their diverse selection of samples taken throughout modern music. rarely will you find such choices put together so smoothly. floyd, rakim, BEASTIE BOYS!!, run dmc, aerosmith, ll cool j, black sabbath, the list goes on. these boys found a way to incorporate the best of two experimental and competing worlds (that of the dj and the turntablist). they brought together tight chops and skratches with smooth crossovers of insightful and memorable samples. the old skool hip hop uses were to be expected, (and following shortkut and cut chemist in a series would be hard enuff!) but to incorporate and morph the emotions that came with such older, well known rock anthems together with the old skool hip hop was a feat worthy of higher praise than has been given here so far. i felt i had to put in my two cents. so, if you dont have this disc yet, go get it and believe me, you wont stop listening to it for at least three weeks... enjoy!

A friend of mine (Kyle Bradley you're a Bad Mother F--ker like Samuel Jackson's wallet) burned a live show of DJ Z-Trip performing in Los Angeles. I played it and it blew my brains out onto a wall. Whenever I play the CD for anyone, they always want a copy for themselves. The same goes for this album. Separately, Z-Trip and Radar are both mega-talents in the hip-hop field, but they're two very distinctively, different DJ's. If you check the album out, you'll notice that Z-Trip is the orchestrator who digs in those crates and finds the obscure party breaks, melding your favorites, mixing 70's & 80's rock, old & new school rap, r&b, and even heavy metal instrumentals (Uneasy Listening-"A must have mixtape", Rolling Stone). Radar, on the other slip mats, assassinates the wax, literally leaving the records in pain after cutting their vinyl throats. This album is exactly what any hip-hop, or rock head needs for a good party. Throw this in with the prior installment of Future Primitive Vol. 1 and you'll have friends buzzing off the music more than the drinks. Check out Volume 3 in the future (no pun intended) with Cut Chemist and Z-Trip on the same album...or so it has been rumored.

this cd is absolutely great. z-trip plays music from so many genres and mixes them all together in a high energy, eclectic party sound. playing zepplin to run dmc to ozzy to pink floyd to anything in the middle. just a great, fun listening experience.

Growing up in Phoenix in the mid 90's I was searching 4 sumthing new in music. Heard Z-Trip spinnin on Majik 107(not around anymore) spinnin new hip hop & new underground sounds live... followed him 2 all the spots he spun...meantime Radar was innovatin a scratch & creatin music off of only one table. 2 of the best dj's in my opinion...came together along with Emile... creating the Bomb Shelter Djs... Now...I wasn't amazed @ their sudden explosion across the globe. I already knew how good these guys were. These guys R hella good. Z can rock parties of any type. Radar...U can find him performing with ASU orchestra behind him live in AZ. I jam this cd a lot while herding sheep or working at my assembly job... Instant classic...even my Old Skool Rock Dad loves it. Buy this CD...its only a taste of whats 2 come soon again from these true pioneers on the turntable.

If you are ever in question of what CD to listen to...Pop this puppy in your deck and enjoy. Z-tip and Radar bring some of the most creative mixes (Biggie & Floyd, Steve Miller & LL Cool J, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Erik B, Aerosmith, and the Who...all make grand appearences). The scratching and remixing of songs on the fly is excellent and the musical taste will get any party going. I am still amazed, three years later, at some of the stuff these guys did (LIVE, none the less). This CD was put into my stereo and it took seriously, two months to come out. You do not grow tired of it. By the way, if you go on a road trip, bring this album. It is by far the best road trip mix to nod your head to. I have yet to meet one unsatisfied customer.

if you like DJ culture, old rock and rap songs, then you would be a silly [twit] to not own this CD. i first heard about Radar and Z-trip when a friend of mine came back from the Coachella dance festival thing. well, lucky enough, my local "megamusic chain" store had it in stock. it now becomes a proud edition to my family of CDs. the best thing about this is it's a live recording, and they pull some great scratching, and beat matching, with hardly a mistake. ive copied mine, and keep the original nice and clean. the track selection is awesome too. this is the future of music. what a classic...

When I bought this CD I had heard bits and pieces of it. I had never really heard of Z-Trip or Radar, but after I bought this I had to have everything that I could by him. This disc goes from rap to rock to hip hop to just down right awesome. If you have a chance find Uneasy Listening Vol. 1 with DJ P and if you have a chance to see him live do not miss that either,

THESE GUYS ARE BY FAR THE BEST DJ'S IN YHE WORLD...Z-TRIP MIXES THE CRAZIEST MUSIC...ALL THE ORIGINAL BREAKS AND BEATS ON TOP OF THE OLD ROCK CUTS...MAN, NOBODY DOES IT AS GOOD AS HIM. AND THE SCRATCHING.....DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY THIS CD. IT'S BY FAR THE DOPEST CD I'VE EVER HEARD. AND I THINK Z-TRIP IS KINDA CUTE TOO...IS HE MARRIED? ANYWAY,I HEARD THERE ARE ONLY LIKE 1000 COPIES PRESSED TOTAL...YOU BETTER GET ON IT,BECAUSE I'M NOT GIVING MINE UP. PEACE.

You may never hear any live dj drop six tracks from REM in one minute after aphex twin with quannum mcs, and pull it togethor as if they were part of the previous tracks. Make no mistake this album crosses genres in a way that only reminds you that good music is good music no matter what. hip hop to rock and around again. Between himself and Dj radar they make possible on four turntables what is every music lovers bliss. Progression, intelegence and humor. check out also the hard to find "uneasy listening" album
