According to Faust and co., the pressing plant mucked up the CD which
resulted in a single track. The next pressing will have separate tracks. As
far as the music is concerned, I think its quite good. Its not as flashy as
others but hits some pretty strong peaks. The fact that it was made with 2
decks, a mixer and an 8-track (nothing else) kills me. I always give props
to the lo-fi D.I.Y. folks.
I know of no place that has audio of Shortkut/Cut Chemist but you should buy
it anyways. Of all the turntablist recordings I've heard, this is probably
the one that will hold up. Brings to mind the Coldcut style cut-ups as
opposed to "I'm gonna crab/flare/hamster 'till my wrist seizes up" mode of
operation. Track 14 is especially fine.
