Rather, he lingers lovingly over it, back-spinning with such minute precision that he isolates and reorders every phoneme in a technical tour de force that transcends its own virtuosity when it transmutes seamlessly into an equally chopped-up bebop drum solo. This short (38 minutes) but dense release pulls together an astonishing variety of source material and is consistently engaging and technically impressive, although many tracks revolve around comedic elements (like slightly surreal extracts from an interview with a broadcast sound-effects expert and dating how-tos) that may not stand up to repeated listening. In the same way that Eddie Van Halen is not a better guitarist than Jeff Beck simply because he plays faster, Kid Koala and his contemporaries might not strike everyone as an improvement on the innovations of Grandmaster Flash. --Bob Bannister\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 625978103425\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0625978103425\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51460866900265,"sku":"SK-8037-YDD6","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/41WPZXW4KFL.jpg?v=1762032366","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/fr\/products\/kid-koala-carpal-tunnel-syndrome-cd-used","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
