Subjects for further review: "Through the Walls" by RJD2
Talk about being smacked upside the head - I was expecting good-to-great turntablism a la DJ Shadow based on what I'd heard, but this is the greatest unreleased Cars single of the past 20 years. Only it's a little off, featuring as it does some metalesque riffing (which is, I think, actually turntablism) and an angular, no wave-ish keyb figure. Have I mentioned that it's really fucking great? And has vocals?
