Deltron 3030
Deltron 3030

 

   Some of the most interesting and novel music I've heard in a while, because it's just not every day that someone makes a rap concept album where the concept is a space opera. The three principal players here are Dan "The Automator" Nakamura, in charge of the stellar, spacey beats; Del "Deltron Zero" Tha Funkee Homosapien, dropping rhymes about enhanced DOS and Armorines, and Kid Koala, who makes his presence felt here and there via weird, dexterous turntablism. This is the geekiest rap album I can conceive of, and I don't anticipate it leaving my CD player soon.
