Album Description:
DJQBert'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
Amazon.com:
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 Wang

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.

This is a great CD. DJ Qbert is one of the best DJs of all time. He is extremely talented in what he does and how he performs. If you like to hear something with an upbeat, unique twist, I definitely recommend checking out this CD. I have 3 other CDs from him as well and they are all AWESOME!!!!!!!! The Wave Twisters movie is entertaining too. It is great to see how everything perfectly matches with his turntable excellence!

Altough this album came out many years ago, the choas and organized madness that layers this piece still overwhelm even the most hardcore of tablist heads. even to those outside of the scratch community in the more "public music" mindset that appriciate it for the concept album that it is may still not understand the audio of the album unless they accompany that with the dvd film that was spawned by the album. This cd is....for lack of a better comparison, hip hops "Tommy", its "Rocky Horror Picture Show", or even "the Wall" to really praise this piece. To say it so few words, this is not a hip-hop concept album. but rather, it is THE hip-hop EPIC.

Fan's of turntablism and speaker shredding scratching will enjoy this CD. 'Wave Twisters' is a scratchfest cavalcade, similar to the turntablist ferocity of 'Live at Future Primitive Sound Session' by Cut Chemist. Hypnotic, trancelike, with spine-chilling beats. The samples are minimal, but maintain soulful, almost tribal-like pulsating rhythms, somewhat like NWA's 'Straight Outta Compton'. The scratches aurally bombard you from all angles, almost like spread-out laser-beams echoing in the dark. It's amazing how something relatively stripped-down can sound so powerful and dense. Essential.
