#77 Wave Twisters

ex-Invisbl Skratch Pikl DJ Q-bert first released Wave Twisters as a turntablism concept album. The product was a frenetic hip-hop record jammed with science fiction samples and mind-blowing scratch antics. The album's fairly abstract story comes to life in Wave Twisters: The Movie. Almost every sound on the album has a visual representation in the film. One warbly scratch may represent a bird tweeting in the foreground of an establishing shot. Another deeper series of scratches is interpreted as a herd of giant, rampaging space squids. Needless to say Wave Twisters is quite strange and very funny. Astute viewer will catch dozens of geeky hip-hop, video game, science fiction and computer related in-jokes. Those at all interested in hip-hop or animation shouldn't sleep on this immensely creative gem.
