    this album caused something of a stir when it was first released, being hyped as "the first turntablist album"... wether this is true or not I cannot confirm, but the fact of the matter is that this is less of an album and more of a compilation of singles. there are some great scratches here, but in comparison to the work of the invisibl skratch piklz and their , this just seems like an excercise in technique and not much else - this just lacks the wit and depth of q-bert and his cohorts.
