Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Laptop vandal Kid 606 has made a career skirting the borders of copyright legality, but The Action Packed Mentallist Brings You the Fucking Jams might just be his most audacious statement yet. "All songs not written by Kid 606", read the credits. A telling sleeve note, because over the next 60 minutes, we hear the Kid in full culture-jamming flow, hijacking everything from bootleg culture standards (Missy Elliot's "Get Ur Freak On", Kylie's "Can't Get You Out My Head") to totally unexpected picks from the vault (Radiohead's "Creep", the Bangles' "Walk Like an Egyptian") and forcing snippets of them into perverted dancefloor medleys with the whiplash crack of modern R&B and the anarchic spirit of left-field electronica. "Rebel Girl" finds the Kid reaffirming his vows to the punk-rock aesthetic with a screeching overhaul of the Bikini Kill original, while the cheeky "MP3 Killed the CD Star" tosses cuts of D12's "Purple Pills", the Artful Dodger's "Re-rewind", and Buggles' "Video Killed The Radio Star" into the audio blender. All good dirty fun, basically. Just don't play it to a lawyer.--Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent Gabba... not an oxymoron., 3 Mar 2003
By 529 (London) - See all my reviews
I would argue that this album is far more accessible than "Down with the Scene" in as much as the noise and nasty beats are filtered through some unexpected pop melodies this time, rather than flying off on their own. The sampled tunes provide some foundation for the chaos that Kid 606 brings to the mix, which to my ears is a more satisfying sound than that on "Down with the Scene". Personally the Missy Elliot sampler is one of my favourite tunes from 2002, full of twists and turns, combining an element of humour with... ahem... "intelligent gabba". Aside from the increased use of obvious samples, the emphasis on this album is on the distorted kick drum, whereas on "Scene" it was the scatter-shot snare. OK, so there are some bits of over-indulgent sample-destruction, like the Radiohead-sampling last track which doesn't really go anywhere, but that's excusable considering how searing the rest of the CD is.

I would provide a warning here- easy listening this aint. If you've heard "Down with the Scene" you know what to expect- nasty razor sharp beats, digital distortion, and a big dose of randomness. If you've only heard the (admittedly lovely) ambienty stuff like "PS I Love You"- beware! This is really a love it or hate it sort of album. If you like the sound of Atari Teenage Riot with a sense of humour and or Aphex Twin with pop sensibilities, then you'll love it.

One last thing- if you get the chance to see Kid 606 live, go!

4.0 out of 5 stars Much more than a novelty record....., 13 Nov 2002
....much less than 'Down with the Scene'.

Hugely entertaining - even the relatively straight version of Kylie's 'Can't Get You Out of my Head'. It's kind of like the Kid 606 Kiddie Party Ultra-Megamix CD with extra glitches and digital distortion.

But on the downside, I've played it about twice since the first week I had it. Work it out yourself: if you like Kid 606 then this should amuse you, if you don't know Kid 606 then try 'Down with the Scene', if you don't like Kid 606 then I'm sure you'll be able to figure out some kind of alternative solution.
