The band and album can also be viewed as a more hip hop-oriented precursor to Damon Albarn and Dan the Automator’s later, better-known project, Gorillaz, which also features vocals by Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and scratching from Kid Koala. Some also see this album as a successor to Kool Keith’s Dr. Octagon project, as both albums were produced by Automator and both saw the release of an instrumental version. Among the featured artists on the album:|*Dan the Automator as “The Cantankerous Captain Aptos”|*Del Tha Funkee Homosapien as “Deltron Zero”|*Kid Koala as “Skiznod the Boy Wonder”|*Cameos by Damon Albarn, Sean Lennon, Prince Paul, MC Paul Barman (as Cleofis Randolph the Patriarch) and many others.| |
