4.0 out of 5 stars Multi-tentacled hip-hop for the 21st Century, February 7, 2000

This review is from: Wave Twisters (Audio CD)

It's difficult to determine whether this CD is a Qbert solo or another Invisbl Skratch Piklz excursion, but the ISP leader uses the hypothesis of "Attack of the Octopus People" and concocts a truly alien beast.

Listening to Wave Twisters is equivilent to viewing Hanna Barbarea cartoons under the spell of LSD-25. While his take on the DJ standard of scratching over one beat grows thin at times, his love for sci-fi camp and old-school asthetics gives this CD incredible soul.

Altough this album came out many years ago, the choas and organized madness that layers this piece still overwhelm even the most hardcore of tablist heads. even to those outside of the scratch community in the more "public music" mindset that appriciate it for the concept album that it is may still not understand the audio of the album unless they accompany that with the dvd film that was spawned by the album. This cd is....for lack of a better comparison, hip hops "Tommy", its "Rocky Horror Picture Show", or even "the Wall" to really praise this piece. To say it so few words, this is not a hip-hop concept album. but rather, it is THE hip-hop EPIC.

This cd is great. Even after listening to the whole album severals times I still cannot appreciate the true complexity of each indivial track. Dj Qbert is truly the master turntablist. The way that he can bend and manipulate sounds at the same time is what makes him so incredible. If you think that you might want to check out a hip-hop/DJ...whatever cd then you have to buy this cd.
