Editorial Review: Product Description: The super group Deltron 3030 is composed of producer Dan the Automator, rapper Del tha Funkee Homosapien and DJ Kid Koala and sometimes features guest artists who also take on varying futuristic pseudonyms. Originally released in 2000 on the now-defunct 75ARK record label, this Hip Hop concept album was released the same year as the Gorillaz first 12" and is on a similar plane. Following the release of Deltron 3030, all three members participated in the Gorillaz' self-titled debut album. With Del aka Deltron Zero on vocals, Dan the Automator aka The Cantankerous Captain Aptos on production, and Kid Koala aka Skiznoid the Boy Wonder on turntables, this album takes the listener on a paranoid journey set in a dystopian year 3030 dealing with viruses, the apocalypse, an oppressive government, and a war waged against a huge company called the Corporate Bank of Time that rules the universe, all to the well-crafted and consistent musical backing of the Automator. Appearances by Damon Albarn (The Gorillaz, Blur), Prince Paul, Peanut Butter Wolf, DJ Money Mark, Paul Barman, Mark Bell (Bjork, production), Sean Lennon, and Mr. Lif compliment Del's vocal style and add the right amount of flavor to this classic period piece. This official reissue includes three bonus tracks not available on original release and there are rumors of a sophmore album by Deltron 3030 due out in late 2008. Make sure you pick up a copy of this album the second time around as copies of the original release consistently fetch more than $50 online. Amazon.co.uk: 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 Modeling School and administrator of Dr. Octagon's porno hospital) reinvents himself as the Cantankerous Captain Aptos and teams up with Deltron Zero (a.k.a. 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 doppelgänger 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 DJ's fingers with 31st-century rhythm stutters and scratches. Automator ping-pongs loops as rousing choral parts swell 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 favor of hip-hop's future fathers. --Chris Campion Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - The Greatest Hip-Hop Album Never Heard When I use the phrase never heard I mean that in a way that the casual fan is off listening to Soulja Boy or Flo rida and have never heard of Deltron. This is the perfect album. I don't know what else to say because it is the perfect album Rating: - Great Album for Lovers of All MusicDel and Kid are awesome together. There are so many interesting and different beats and Del's style stands out on its own. Rating: - Is it really that good? Yes... and better...I first heard about this album after getting Dr. Octagonecologyst and finding out that the genius responsible for it, Dan the Automator, is also responsible for Deltron. I was immediately drawn to Automator's futuristic and spacey beats and after getting comfortable with Octagon I moved on to this. I first read some of the amazon reviews before listening to it and I was amazed at how hyped up this album was. Countless people raved that it was an incredible album and some claimed it the greatest hip hop album period. After reading such rave reviews and being such a fan of Octagon's beats how could I miss out on this one? I must admit that it was almost exclusively Automator who drew me to this album. I liked what I heard from ... Read More: Rating: - del n automatorthis duo can do no wrong!space raps put over some of the best beats hip-hop has ever seen!the new 3030 is supposed to drop soon too! Rating: - One of the best underground albums of all timeThis album is absolutely amazing. From Del's ability to use words that most rappers have never even heard, to Dan's ability to put together some nice basslines and sampling. Set in the year 3030, the album chronicles the duos adventures in space while still being able to relate the material to the present times. I would strongly suggest that anyone who likes hip-hop or rap to pick this album up. It is well worth it. |
