Reviews"The tracks on this stupefyingly essential, surprisingly cerebral, legally questionable two-CD retrospective of Steinski's mastermixes/breakbeat pranks are all so important to the history of hip hop, they should come with a textbook.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "What's impressive about this handsome anthology of barely legal rarities is how well tracks work as songs. The early party joints build and ebb with intractable momentum, and later pieces tell unlikely stories.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "His music is a utopian version of how culturally cross-referential -- and funny -- sound collage might be.", "Utterly essential....A double disc retrospective of the greatest cut 'n' paste artist this side of William Burroughs and Kurt Schwitters.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Whether kickin' it in a party groove or getting political his esoteric architectures of sampology are sheer faultless science...", "This retrospective takes in a staggering amount of craftily lifted bits and pieces from the rich rap tapestry, and melds them into a mammoth two-disc mix collection."
