Free Music Notes for Wave Twisters, Episode 7 Million: Sonic Wars Within the Protons
Free Music Review: Unusual, and charismatic
Hit: 5 Stars
Alright, first thing I'll say: I think Qbert is one of the best skratchers I've ever heard. He's always having fun with what he's doing, and you can tell that this record was fun for him to make. This album throws all over the place, back to the unusual sounds of Dr. Octo, and maintains alot of character like Camel Bobsled Race and Demolition Pumpkin Squeeze Music. You'll find yourself humming baselines and singing "blast-blast-buh-blast-blastin on fools" at the bus stop. I really like this album, as it lacks skit tracks, ego-stroking, and other pitfalls of some of the other skratch albums I've heard. Cleanly assembled tracks with infections hooks, some romping bass-lines, back and forth cuts that talk to each other, and some straight up humor on "aphrodisiskratch", with this album Qbert retains his character and status as one of the baddest DJs in the world. Pick it up. As a side note, the album was remastered for the movie, so it is actually NOT identical to the soundtrack of "Wavetwisters". But pick honestly you will not be dissapointed, this albums was everything I had come to expect from Q.
Wave Twisters, Episode 7 Million: Sonic Wars Within the Protons Poster
As the godfather of modern-day turntablism, Qbert has been long overdue for a solo release. Wave Twisters is the obvious brainchild of Qbert's long-term fascination with sound and its malleability: using stacks of eclectic vinyl as his fodder, Qbert creates an album of songs by turning scraps of found sound into everything from rhythm sections to melodic tracks to quirky pieces of dialogue. You don't need to understand the technical complexities of scratching to appreciate it; Wave Twisters is simply the future of the funk--sonic play transformed by an equal mix of aural insanity and genius and put all back together by the hands of a master. --Oliver WangDJQBert's Wave Twisters (Classic Cassette Tape) - The classic that spawned the movie.
" As you may know by now, this album is a concept album. Not only in story but in things I wanted to do in music as well. I wanted to have a variety of songs offering new and different things from skratch styles, to ways of composing, to ideas that people can make something new out of. At the same time, keeping its story line"
- Qbert
Out of print in the U.S.! First full length official release from 1998 by one of the world's greatest and certainly most innovative turntablists (and former member of Invisibl Skratch Piklz alongside Mix Master Mike amongst others). Wave Twisters is the first 'scratch concept album' and tells the tale of an entire civilization that communicates only through the sound of scratching.
Finally Back in Print.
