There's so much missing.......2004-09-15
Sadly Non-Representative.......2002-10-23
THE GOOD: The DJ Disk/Buckethead track is cool!! Trip music as only they can make. DXT's Cut Transmitter is a nice little DJ+ band track, and Cat Five/Snake Eyez show off the more abstract side of the movement.
THE DESCENT: Okay, first the Rockit remix--I guess I just expected more, especially with that many of the best DJs on it. I guess that's what happens when you mess with a classic. Rob Swift and Eddie Def's contributions were suprisingly average for their immense talents (although this should not be suprising for Eddie Def as the Space Travelerz not only bashed the film, but have admitted they unload their subpar material when it comes to compilations)
THE TRULY WACK: The rest of the material (as classic as some of it is) can be/has been heard in many other places and it was disappointing to pay for it again. It seems that Bill Laswell wanted to combine a history-up-until-now type project (like MTV's "Masters of the 1s & 2s"--only good) and a this-is-the-status-of-the-movement-right-now album (like "Return of the DJ" did in 1995) but in my opinion simply failed. A true "History of Turntablism album", by the devoted for the devoted, seems like it would have been ideal, and if you really want a "status" type album, check out Turntables by the Bay on Hip Hop Slam. The Frisco Bay area-the mecca of the movement.
