For those of you who don't know, DJ Yoda (aka Duncan Beiny) was exposed to the world after winning Diesel's music awards a couple of years back. After a couple of hip hop sorties (How to Cut and Paste 1&2, Unthugged with Dan Greenpeace), this album is a monument to the eighties.
For those unaccustomed to his previous mixes, well, they will leave you speechless. Some freak mutation of the eighties' kid's TV and music with rap. You can see the young Yoda trying to break out in his mixes and this album is just that.
Just a quick look at the tracklisting may make some of you wretch with the sweetest flavoured poptastic favourites reminiscent of days gone by when roller discos were cool (from Europe's Final Countdown to Culture Club and their Karma Chameleon). A couple of hip hop classics do find their way in the mix with Grandmaster Flash (The Message, White Lines) and Herbie Hancock's Rockit but the LP is not about that.
To listen to this mix you'll have to leave your ego at home if you think the eighties is a decade best left forgotten. It's not so much the choice of tracks that make this compilation what it is but the turntablism and samples that accompany it - DJ Yoda's trademark if you like.
In summary then this CD is like one of those old school block parties where someone brought the wrong crate of vinyl. Tracks that you would never imagine played to a crowd or mixed together somehow just seem to work. Like Marmite - love it or hate, but I can only recomment the former...

I love all those 80s tunes featured and the film clips from ferris bueller and so on all fit together with dj yoda's mixing suprisingly well. My only real issue is that compared to the polished production offered up by for example 2 many djs mix tapes this sounds quite an amatuer or live recording - levels all over the place with some tracks annoyingly quiter than others. Overall though a very unique (other than spinbads tape) and enjoyable to listen to mix.
Oh and I love the shout outs by Timmy Mallet and Pat Sharp, awesome.

I have all the previous DJ Yoda albulms and am in no doubt that he has a great talent a wicked sense of humour. Unfortunately this albulm just seemed to lack the originality that his previous albulms had.
I think that he could have featured more classic tracks from the 80's and i also think that although the sound bites from classics sich as Ferris Buller and the Goonies fitted in well that did seem to get a bit tiresome. With some of the tracks they seem to get going and then cut out straight away leaving the albulm sounding slightly bitty.
Overall id say that this albulm was definately worth a listen but maybe one that i will soon forget that i own.

A Chaotic Mess.........
So. You are a DJ and you decide to put together a cut and paste of music from the 1980's. You have to work within the parameters set by the record licensing department. Read more

Not as good as "How toCut and Paste" Vol 1 & 2.
I bought this as I am a huge fan of Yoda's previous discs (How to Cut and Paste vol 1 and Vol 2), just for a laugh.
And it is fun. That is all. Read more

Great, go buy it
This album is probably the best by Dj Yoda yet. Each track is great to listen to and they all get stuck in your head. Well worth the money for what your getting.
