Deltron 3030

Futuristic supergroup comprising the Automator, Del, and Kid Koala. Hyperoriginal, the album's semi-apocalyptic production, advanced lyricism, and exceptional DJ work combine to create an intergalactic vision somewhere between Blade Runner and 2001. Standouts include "Madness," "Positive Contact," and "Things You Can Do."

Better Del should branch into science fiction than crime fiction--but better he should stick to confessional fiction than either ("Things We Can Do," "Madness"). (Grade - *)
