This 12" is indeed crazy.... it has a sense of humor that is unusual and
yet it has some very practical beats thrown about and even that bit of the
breakdown in Rush's 2112.  I like the 2nd (inner track on label side) that
deconstructs some (Edward G Robinson??) saying "put up your hands this is
a stickup".  It gets run through the drum-n-bass-jacking treatment
somewhat, and becomes a collage f evenly spaced 16th and 8th notes,
practical for mixing yet universally absurdly funny.  One side is more
"normal" than the other, clearly.  It strikes me as the hip-hop equivalent
mental sabotage of V/Vm label stuff or like a collaboration between
Mixmaster Mike and Christoff Heeman, if the universe has room for such a
collision...
