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.
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

Wow. Just about perfect in every sense of the word. Beats are awesome, rapping is awesome (as usual for Del!). The music is very eclectic and the whole album has a cyberpunk/sci-fi theme to it. Recommended for any fans of underground hip-hop, sci-fi and anybody who loves good music!

Frankly, I don't "get" rap, but this is an interesting integration of rap, choral, orchestral and melodic music. I originally acquired it because of its use as the theme song for the TV series "Robbery-Homicide."

Using the year 3030 as a concept for the album, Del guides us through the dystopian world he envisions it will be. It is a little unclear to me exactly what kind of society that is so I wont go into details, but keywords would be totalitarianism, "global apartheid", some kind of evil ruler and tons of posers - one thing is for sure though! Hip-hop is still tha shiznit (quote: "In the year 3030 everybody wants to be an MC") and Del (aka Deltron Zero) is the best MC around, and he and his associates ... Read More

When I use the phrase never heard I mean that in a way that the casual fan is off listening to Soulja Boy or Flo rida and have never heard of Deltron. This is the perfect album. I don't know what else to say because it is the perfect album

Del and Kid are awesome together. There are so many interesting and different beats and Del's style stands out on its own.
