Thanks. well... i picked up "Invisibl scratch piklz DJ Q-Bert v. A-Trak: Buck Tooth Wizads" today... one 62 minute track. comparing it to the koala tape is like apples to oranges, though. The Scratch happy land is more of actual songs constructed by the scratches samples and beats, while this is a BATTLE, as in two djs scratching each other insanly to the death with a couple beats. What i'm trying to say is that the Q-Bert stuff, which, don't get me wrong, is excellent, is based around the actual scratching as opposed to the more musical/beat oriented aspect of kid koala. I'll try to post a full review later, once i give it a better listen. btw, A-Trak is fifteen years old and he won the dmc world championships. oh and it's my birthday... yeah. (the irony... santa's birthday the day before xmas) big sack of christmas reviews to come down your chimny. grab them when you wake up tommarow.(phoencina, trash, qb v. at, broom mixes, etc.). merry christmas, mult 'i got myself a scanner and i've been playing with it all night' santa.
