Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030

Weird?
Definitely.
Amazing?
Hell yeah.

Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Dan the Automator, & Kid Koala present us with this fantastic album, set in the year 3030. As you can infer from such a title, Deltron 3030 has a futuristic and extraterrestrial theme. Del spits some really original and innovative rhymes, while maintaining said theme. Now you may think that the only subjects covered are the future ones, but Del actually covers a wide spectrum of topics, especially current (20th/21st century) global issues. Really creative lyricism that is sometimes light-hearted and sometimes conscious.

Dan the Automator lays down some really cool, chill beats, with Kid Koala doing some scratches here and there. They are dense and full of sound. Dan constructs his beats with some really cool samples and sounds, e.g. epic orchestra and slide guitar on "3030", and trumpet sampling on "Memory Loss".

It's a little too long for my liking, but that may change over time since these lyrics are, *ahem*, out of this world.
