...last track on the five-song EP, “DANCE,” is unsurprisingly the most movement-inducing song on the album, though designed for a particularly spastic dancer—rapid, complex drums combine with the unabashedly digital cut-up of sound clips alongside the air intakes of a beatboxer and poppy organ melodies contrasting with atonal and arrhythmic guitar riffs. The song features possibly the first awesome beatboxing-breakdown in the history of music, and continually eludes predictability with vicissitudes of style and form, quiet regular parts followed by loud irregular parts, and a who-would...
...between the spectacle, the audience started intently at the hunched-over performers on the stage, trying to derive some sort of pattern from the seemingly random and spastic improvisations. They may have found nothing, but at the end of the night of incredible noise-pop, the elated fans poured out of the club into the freezing rain, wishing they could stay for the warmth of just one more campfire song...

Busta is one of the more recognizable rappers around, with a lackadaisical, often humorous rapping style. He began his career with underground darlings Leaders of the New School, with whom he released two albums. As a solo artist he hit it big in 1996 with the spastic “Woo-Hah!! Got You All in Check,” whose oddly disconcerting video found regular rotation...
