While their lightning-fast deck skills evoke nostalgia, the X-men still sound like the freshest crew on the block.
-
On Scratch, they masterfully explore breakbeat fusion, flowing smoothly from scratch to hip-hop to rock and everything in between.
-
Each cameo adds style, pizzazz (and most importantly, cool vocals) to the four-man crew's turntable acrobatics.
-
But for all the high-level assistance the group receives, what keeps Built From Scratch consistently interesting remains the fantastic fours work on the wheels of steel.
-
Although it is an immensely enjoyable experience featuring often breathtaking dexterity and turntable trickery, it rarely deviates from a strictly old school template.
-
Purists might object to Built To Scratch's overt commercialism, but the four-man crew succeeds in making turntablism accessible to a mainstream audience without sacrificing the kinetic demolition at the heart of its music.
