"\"&lt;p&gt;Mix Master Mike&lt;I&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anti-Theft Device&lt;\\/I&gt;&lt;P&gt;Asphodel&lt;\\/B&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is a turntable a musical instrument? Is it hard to play? Can it produce original sounds-sounds that could be defined as original music? Answer the question honestly: is a DJ &amp;#8230; a musician?&lt;P&gt;Mix Master Mike is a DJ. Not a DJ like the one at your Friday night club, headphones on one ear, mixing together all your favorite rap and R&amp;#038;B hits. Mix Master Mike is to deejaying what Jaco Pastorius was to the bass-on a whole different level. He&amp;#8217;s a turntable instrumentalist-perhaps one of the best, a prominent member of the infamous Invisibl Skratch Piklz. This is his debut solo album. If you&amp;#8217;re not into turntablism as music, you&amp;#8217;re going to hate it.&lt;P&gt;One second a single note from a cello in the background of a Led Zeppelin song appears, only to disappear and never be heard from again. Moments later, two bars of a drumbeat from an old school hip-hop jam show up, then &lt;I&gt;poof&lt;\\/I&gt;-gone. The whole album is like this: he breaks down songs and beats to their raw elements, and then strings those elements together through scratching to make a completely new song. It&amp;#8217;s the future of music, or at least &lt;I&gt;a&lt;\\/I&gt; future of a certain &lt;I&gt;genre&lt;\\/I&gt; of music-a genre which many believe has no credibility, that is if they knew about it at all.&lt;P&gt;Pity for them, because this album is insane.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
