DJ Yoda's How To Cut & Paste: 80's Edition

Let's face it; you wouldn't go out and buy an album like this because of the songs themselves on it. Because it's a mix album, we want to hear what's actually done to these songs, sounds and clips.Once again, DJ Yoda gets it right with humourous samples and skilled scratching played oddly, but effectively, over various songs from a couple of decades ago.The technique of "cutting and pasting" enhances the feeling of nostalgia. Whilst you can appreciate the skill of the DJ, there's a real strength in this album in the way that he slightly detaches himself from the music itself. In other words you get a fantastic blend of 80s music, but presented in such a unique way to make it more pleasing to the ear than each song would be on it's own.Anyway, that's the more artistic critique of it, but on the whole the album's greatness is its entertainment factor as well. As said, it's funny, contains the unexpected and has tunes which, although old, make you want to sing and dance. The Yoda technique only adds to that kind of vibe. Another good thing about this kind of album is that you can skip through random individual tracks you want to hear, and still enjoy them on their own merit. On the other hand, it's a great experience to listen to the mix as a whole, from start to finish, to get a real appreciation of the nostalgic journey.Even if you're not that into 1980's music, or scratching even, then this CD could still be for you. It doesn't have any of the pretenses of most modern music, and presents the music in a light-hearted way which can be enjoyed regardless of any individual music taste. There are other volumes in the series, but they're somewhat more hip-hop orientated.

Top album if your a 80's child the delivery was fast, the music was cheap another classic album from DJ yoda

It was ok not the best mix album that i've got

some great tunes on this cd .a must for all 80s fans .a real trip down memory lane .love it

like it all good

There's far too much going on in each track. Sound levels are completely different so its not great listening to it through earphones. I was hoping for some slick scratching and some samples leading from one track to another but it all seems as if it was just put together as it went along. Cant really listen to the tracks as 90% of them are covered in 80's film script or samples that over power the music (sound levels).I have other Yoda stuff but this appears as if it was made to a deadline. Unfortunate as there are some good tracks on this album.

Brilliant

Thank YOU!
