It's pretty wild. They have 4 *DJ's* at once, so actually about 8
turntable in effect at times. Like a jazz band, the ensemble is
punctuated by solos.. But so much so that it's more like the soloists
are punctuated by moments of ensemble-ness. Plus there's a crew of
assistants packing and unpacking the vinyl for them so they can pay
attention to violating the turntables. The Invisible Skratch Pikles
deserve a pedestal.
