Press Reviews "DJ Speck evokes just one image: A gene splicing experiment gone horribly wrong involving John Lennon, Buddy Holly, Woody Allen, and Katharine Hepburn, flapping its arms wildly over the strings of an electric guitar and the controls of a drum machine." --- PJ Oliver, UW Palmyra News . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."DJ Speck sure gets a lot of mileage out of his PC, using it to splice and dice the pastiche of sounds heard here. 'Hats Off to the General' ... is chock full of nifty breakbeats and drum fills. 'Attack of the Slug Men From Mars' is more satisfying, opening with synth strains before mutating into what sounds like a broken hurdy-gurdy run through a noise filter that's on the fritz." --- Pat Berkery @ cdnow.com
