Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Hip-hop confabulations don't come much more forward-thinking than this. Working from solid atomic principles, Deltron 3030 takes one producer, one MC and one DJ and throws them beyond Futurama. Dan The Automator (one of the founders of the Handsome Boy Modelling School and administrator of Dr Octagon's porno hospital) reinvents himself as The Cantankerous Captain Aptos and teams up with Deltron Zero (aka Hieroglyphics crew member Del Tha Funky Homosapien) and Skiznod The Boy Wonder (bucky turntablist Kid Koala). Between the radio ads for future-funked, rap jams and camouflaged cameos (by the likes of Prince Paul, a castrato Damon Albarn, MC Paul Barman and his Upper West Side doppelganger Sean Lennon), the Deltron crew advise you to upgrade your brain to avoid getting sucked into the time virus. ("Ugrade your gray matter", they chant, "'cause one day it may matter".) The thematic opener, "3030", sounds like a beat-driven David Lean movie that slipped into the DJs fingers with 31st-century rhythm stutters and scratches. Automator ping-pongs loops as rousing choral parts swells with space pride. "Things You Can Do" riffs off mod rock while a harpsichord hack and Sean Lennon drops feature on the sickly-sweet mental apocalypse of "Memory Loss". Over its 21 tracks, Deltron 3030 erases the errors of this rap era in favour of hip hop's future-fathers. --Chris Campion


CD Description

This hip-hop supergroup journeys forward to the next millennium to encounter a future that's part Jimi Hendrix psychedelic and part Judge Dredd comic book, with a backdrop of a whole lot of synths, BLADE RUNNER-type sound effects, ambient steel guitars, and hip-hop beats. The main players here are Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Dan "the Automator" Nakamura, andKid Koala, who drape themselves in a host of exotic samples, roomy hip-hop beats, and sci-fi mythology.
There are cameo appearances by Prince Paul, Blur's Damon Albarn, who contributes an exhausted-sounding mini-monologue and co-writes the mutant Burt Bacharach-laced "Time Keeps On Slipping", and Sean Lennon, who lends his compositional talents to the harpsichord, string, and horn-coloured "Memory Loss". The sci-fi theme suits the hip-hop format remarkably well, giving the rappers the chance to shoot a few choice barbs at today's society; these relevant messages and the music's technicolour feel undercut the cartoonish quality of the project, giving it a substance beyond that of a mere vanity exercise.

5.0 out of 5 stars best hip hop album in a while, 17 Jul 2001
By A Customer
Refreshing, Ingenius, Simply amazing. Those are the only words that I can use to describe Deltron 3030. If you are sick and tired of the same old reused base lines that you find in most of todays rap songs then this is definetly the cd for you. Also track 2 on the cd, the 7 minute one, is quite possibly the greatest and most innovative rap song that I have ever heard in my entire life. The whole album is awe inspiring and is deifnetly worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Buy It!, 26 April 2001
By A Customer
For everyone out there who has forgotten that hip-hop can be fun and inventive this may just make you remember; it did for me! There's no gangster-wannabe rappers here, just fresh ideas and clever production. Not every track is a killer (in my opinion), but overall the album is a worthy investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars deltronic supersonic, 16 Sep 2005
This is an amazing album, i never really thought an unbased concept album could be any fun, but with del's aggravated rhyming (very much reflecting our present state as well), dan's smooth as soap production and kid koalas scratching the trio bring to life the fantasticly dystopic future in their album. Basically if you like del, this is his best album, and you might even catch a glimpse of the gorillas crew when damon albon appears on a few tracks.
