Album Review: Deltron 3030 - Event II

The first Deltron 3030 album defied expectations, entering alternative hip hop folklore at the genre's peak and the original Deltron crew are back (DTA, Del and Kid Koala) for the sequel. Where the first album had a loose thread of futuristic fiction, the new album creates a definitive and linear narrative. There's a certain irony that such a future themed album has a retro sound and it seems unlikely that Event II will have the same traction as the first. That's more about where hip hop is at today – the concept and album work well, but times have changed.
