Review

Spin (1/01, p.120) - 7 out of 10 - "...As a party record, it romps, with pumping keyboards on 'Positive Contact' and a chorus sample sped up for harpsichord effect on 'Things You Can Do' in which Koala scratches opera singers..."
Alternative Press (3/01, pp.68-9) - 4 out of 5 - "...Nakumara turns in creepy, futuristic and bizarre beats for this concept album about fantastic, backwards human civilization in the year 3030...crowded with guest appearances..."
Magnet (p.82) - "[It was] Nakamura's most consistent creation as beatmaker and puppet master....Endlessly entertaining..."
The Wire (10/00, p.86) - "...A planet where rhymes are pecked into trees by gnawed off golf pencils between clenched teeth..."
CMJ (10/16/00, p.28) - "...[Its] slick and styled funk proves [Automator's] light years ahead of his peers..."
Melody Maker (11/14/00, p.52) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...This is dark, jagged alt-rock hip-hop....a splintered, inspired soundtrack to confusing times..."
NME (Magazine) (10/21/00, p.44) - 8 out of 10 - "...A space opera....the most purely enjoyable hip-hop album of 2000....It's a crazed sci-fi journey to Planet B.S., that takes myriad detours around the galaxy....utterly mesmerizing..."

Title Note

Deltron 3030: Del The Funky Homosapien, Dan The Automator, Kid Koala.

Additional personnel: Sean Lennon, Damon Alban, El-P, MC Paul Barman, Mark Bell, Beans.

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, and Kid 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-colored "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 technicolor feel undercut the cartoonish quality of the project, giving it a substance beyond that of a mere vanity exercise.
