Product Description:
The super group Deltron 3030 is composed of producer Dan the Automator, rapper Del tha Funkee Homosapien and DJ Kid Koala andsometimes features guest artists who also take on varying futuristic pseudonyms. Originally released in 2000 on the now-defunct75ARK record label, this Hip Hop concept album was released the same year as the Gorillaz first 12' and is on a similar plane.Following the release of Deltron 3030, all three members participated in the Gorillaz' self-titled debut album.With Del aka Deltron Zero on vocals, Dan the Automator aka The Cantankerous Captain Aptos on production, and Kid Koala akaSkiznoid the Boy Wonder on turntables, this album takes the listener on a paranoid journey set in a dystopian year 3030 dealing withviruses, the apocalypse, an oppressive government, and a war waged against a huge company called the Corporate Bank of Time thatrules the universe, all to the well-crafted and consistent musical backing of the Automator. Appearances by Damon Albarn (TheGorillaz, Blur), Prince Paul, Peanut Butter Wolf, DJ Money Mark, Paul Barman, Mark Bell (Bjork, production), Sean Lennon, and Mr. Lifcompliment Del's vocal style and add the right amount of flavor to this classic period piece. This official reissue includes three bonustracks not available on original release and there are rumors of a sophmore album by Deltron 3030 due out in late 2008. Make sure youpick up a copy of this album the second time around as copies of the original release consistently fetch more than $50 online.
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
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating: - Masterpiece.
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!
Rating: - Worth a listen
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."
Rating:  - DELightful! [4.5 Stars]
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
Rating: - The Greatest Hip-Hop Album Never Heard
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
Rating: - Great Album for Lovers of All Music
Del and Kid are awesome together.There are so many interesting and different beats and Del's style stands out on its own.
