Amazon.co.uk:
Hip-hop confabulations don't come much more forward-thinking than this. Working from solid atomic principles, Deltron 3030 takes one producer, one MC, and one DJ and throws them beyond Futurama. Dan the Automator (one of the founders of the Handsome Boy Modeling School and administrator of Dr. Octagon's porno hospital) reinvents himself as the Cantankerous Captain Aptos and teams up with Deltron Zero (a.k.a. Hieroglyphics crew member Del tha Funky Homosapien) and Skiznod the Boy Wonder (bucky turntablist Kid Koala). Between the radio ads for future-funked, rap jams, and camouflaged cameos (by the likes of Prince Paul, a castrato Damon Albarn, MC Paul Barman and his Upper West Side doppelgänger Sean Lennon), the Deltron crew advise you to upgrade your brain to avoid getting sucked into the time virus. ("Ugrade your gray matter," they chant, "'cause one day it may matter.") The thematic opener, "3030," sounds like a beat-driven David Lean movie that slipped into the DJ's fingers with 31st-century rhythm stutters and scratches. Automator ping-pongs loops as rousing choral parts swell with space pride. "Things You Can Do" riffs off mod rock while a harpsichord hack and Sean Lennon drops feature on the sickly sweet mental apocalypse of "Memory Loss." Over its 21 tracks, Deltron 3030 erases the errors of this rap era in favor of hip-hop's future fathers. --Chris Campion
Album Description:
Explicit Version. Self titled album of 24 tracks. Hip-hop forward-thinking with Deltron 3030 as they take one producer, one MC, and one DJ and throws them into the future. One track, 'Memory Loss' features Sean Lennon. Dan the Automator reinvents himself as the Cantankerous Captain Aptos and teams up with Deltron Zero (a.k.a. Hieroglyphics crew member Del tha Funky Homosapien) and Skiznod the Boy Wonder (bucky turntablist Kid Koala). Between the radio ads for future-funked, rap jams, and camouflaged cameos (by the likes of Prince Paul, a castrato Damon Albarn, MC Paul Barman and his Upper West Side doppelg„nger Sean Lennon), the Deltron crew advise you to upgrade your brain to avoid getting sucked into the time virus.

this album was and still is way ahead of the curve. It's a freaky futuristic journey through the musical mindspace. I would even use the word GENIUS. That's right. Enjoy at your own risk.

This is by far my favorite album. Get it. Love it. Play it 'til you're sick of it and then listen to it again.

This is one of the best hip-hop albums i have ever heard. The beats, the flow, the rhymes, everything about this album is amazing. Different then anything out right now. I'm tired of hearing artists rapping about money, cars, and women. This album has nothing to do with any of that. One of my all time favorites. I recommend this album for anyone that enjoys true hip-hop.

The genius of this album only adds fuel to my outrage.
Where is Deltron Event II?? I feel like I've been played. All of 2008 I've been hearing about the follow-up to 3030. Now it's not 2008 anymore, and Event II still only exists in the realm of speculation. Deltron fans f***ing deserve some answers!

Whenever I want to be taken to another world I listen to this album. The beats, Del's silly, confident, lazy lines will make you laugh. When Del says in the intro "It's our music we must take back!" you want to jump in and say, "Yeah!" There's a sense of this is what our world will one day become, or maybe in a way it is. For all it's darkness, yet funniness, I can never put it away. I can't describe it, I'm not that great with words, just please buy it. You will not be disappointed. Awesome, ... Read More
