"it all started while taking my son to the local record exchange to look at used gamecube games and I heard a curious beat with a groove that I couldn't place?



I kept listening as we looked and it sounded like the radio was in between stations (radio, television, and shortwave?)!



I couldn't help but keep listening..... it was hip hop... rap.. samples..... commercials..metal guitar.....D&B... groove .... dub w/ a twist of dance hall?



on the way out I was so worked up I had to ask the counter guy

"WHo is That!!!???



Prefuse 73 vocal studies and uprock.



...... "what???"



he said it again.



Now.... I'm 40 yr old black REPUBLICAN that remembers the begining of hip hop and knew it wasn't a fad in 1977.



Prefuse 73 is Glitch Hop and has to be the one night stand of Kraftwerk ,Art of Noise, yellow magic orchastra, and some of blackest most militant straight out of brooklyn public enemy with a pinch of KRS1 hip hop



Those homeless guys you see argueing and apologizing to themselves?.......... this is want their listening to!



I love it!!!! IT MAKES ME DRIVE FAST"

"Excellent Album from this Atlanta based Hip-Hop Crew. Almost 5 STARS!! Nice breaks, not overly produced. If you're into Dan the Automater, Kid Koala, and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien you'll get into this real well too. Buy the LP and the CD together. Money well spent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"This is the best breakbeat disc I have ever heard. To hear Scott Herren's music is to hear DJing as no one else does it. The breaks are fast, skitterish, and dynamic, constantly reinventing themselves before you can quite grasp what you've just heard. Somehow, through it all, the mixing is really smooth. That's not to say you could dance to it. Well, perhaps you could dance to it if you were having a siezure, but otherwise, it won't happen. The disc is beat heavy, with just a few vocal tracks with guests MF Doom and Aesop Rock.

I hate to gush like this, but I sincerely think this disc is one of the best I've heard in the genre, and I'd hate not to do it justice."
