About Wave Twisters
Product Description Dubbed the first scratch concept album, Wave Twisters is the first full-length from the man considered to be the world's greatest turntablist -- DJ QBert. As a member of the Northern California DJ collective Invisibl Skratch Piklz, innovation has always been the norm for DJ QBert. Continuing to break new ground, his debut gives further evidence that the most talented record spinners have evolved into complete musicians. Song by song, the record explains a tale of an entire civilization that communicates only through the sounds of scratching. Q-Bert's legendary hand graces 17 tracks, and fellow Piklz Mix Master Mike, Shortkut and other guests come along for a wild ride where nothing is off limits. From standard breaks being sliced and diced to oblivion, to methodically cutting up a female orgasm at the album's metaphorical climax, it never gets boring. 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 Review Flares, scribbles, stabs and crabs run amok throughout Q's imaginative and perverse world. The result is arguably the most intriguing offering of turntablism to date. -- URB
