A great listen, never gets boring

"I didn't like this the first time around, but after the second listen, I started enjoying it immensly. Maybe I was expecting something like the first offering, where Cut Chemist and Shortkut do some really progressive, crate digging, instructional-record sampling, turntable action. But then this reviewer realized that THAT wasn't their goal, and to compare the first volume to this one would be totally unfair. What Dj Z-Trip and Radar manages to do is to create more of "party" album; though not as experimental as their predeccesors, it is a lot more fun and they show off their skratching skills none-the-less. In this musical gumbo they throw in Afrika Bambaattaa ( "Planet Rock" being a b-boy favorite ), Beastie Boys, Run DMC, LL Cool J ( before he became wack ) Busta Rhymes, Black Sheep, Dj Kool ( everytime I hear "clear my throat" I want to do the Ed Lover dance for some reason ) and Roger & Zapp ( you can never, ever, EVER, go wrong with More Bounce to the Ounce. Never ). All in all, these BombShelter DJs give you reason to take cover from their ensuing sonic assault."

It Would be a F--king Crime to Not Own This Album

"A friend of mine (Kyle Bradley you're a Bad Mother F--ker like Samuel Jackson's wallet) burned a live show of DJ Z-Trip performing in Los Angeles. I played it and it blew my brains out onto a wall. Whenever I play the CD for anyone, they always want a copy for themselves. The same goes for this album. Separately, Z-Trip and Radar are both mega-talents in the hip-hop field, but they're two very distinctively, different DJ's. If you check the album out, you'll notice that Z-Trip is the orchestrator who digs in those crates and finds the obscure party breaks, melding your favorites, mixing 70's & 80's rock, old & new school rap, r&b, and even heavy metal instrumentals (Uneasy Listening-"A must have mixtape", Rolling Stone). Radar, on the other slip mats, assassinates the wax, literally leaving the records in pain after cutting their vinyl throats. This album is exactly what any hip-hop, or rock head needs for a good party. Throw this in with the prior installment of Future Primitive Vol. 1 and you'll have friends buzzing off the music more than the drinks. Check out Volume 3 in the future (no pun intended) with Cut Chemist and Z-Trip on the same album...or so it has been rumored."

Only the Beginning

"Growing up in Phoenix in the mid 90's I was searching 4 sumthing new in music. Heard Z-Trip spinnin on Majik 107(not around anymore) spinnin new hip hop & new underground sounds live... followed him 2 all the spots he spun...meantime Radar was innovatin a scratch & creatin music off of only one table. 2 of the best dj's in my opinion...came together along with Emile... creating the Bomb Shelter Djs... Now...I wasn't amazed @ their sudden explosion across the globe. I already knew how good these guys were. These guys R hella good. Z can rock parties of any type. Radar...U can find him performing with ASU orchestra behind him live in AZ. I jam this cd a lot while herding sheep or working at my assembly job... Instant classic...even my Old Skool Rock Dad loves it. Buy this CD...its only a taste of whats 2 come soon again from these true pioneers on the turntable."
