In the eighties, Kurtis Mantronik welded turntables to microphones in the electro-rap duo Mantronix. Mantronik's I Sing The Body Electro, has kinetic clatter galore: angular Kraftwerk robocops, jam-pumping Technotronic throwbacks, even a big-beat chemistry test called "Baby, You Blow My Mind," kicking like Cream with an Aerosmith bass line. Only a couple of potty-mouth raps from tuff-girl Traylude turn clunky (Kurtis' old foil MC Tee is missed). But mostly these are mechanical sounds that electronica forgot - cubism you can breakdance to.
