“The Russian percussion! London hip-hop artist Skinnyman joins up with Ninja Tune's DJ Vadim for a banger, the hook built around some off-tune string-plucking. Hot hip-hop out of the UK. Don't sleep! ”

“Very pretty! It starts with a warm vinyl crackle, a soft skipping sound, tones like a music box clinking along. Then while you're thinking of tea parties and dolls, the bass and drums come in and sweep you up. Once the strings hit, it's all over. Beautiful.”

“Seriously, more hip hop crate diggers should be blowing the dust off some old Lionel Hampton and bringing back the vibes, especially when the results can sound this funky and fun. ”

“Solid, head-nodding music. Nothing but a steady hip-hop beat, perfect for strolling. (Probably where the name came from, junior, pay attention.) ”

“"The priests use to watch over the people, now they're watching the people." Skinny Puppy's paranoid free poetry reach a new height in "Worlock" as lead vocalist Ogre's voice is warped and echoed by synthesizers during the "chorus." A hidden gem for fans of industrial music, especially the synth-heavy variety that came out in the late 80s. This album features production from Al "Ministry" Jourgensen.”
