It's mostly the same as 'Dr Octagonecologyst' because it IS the same...without about 98% of the lyrics. Hence the name "instrumentalyst" ....and they can't call him Dr Octagonecologyst because Kool Keith plays the role of the Dr. Anyway though...I assume this album was made for those Automator (Dan) fans who can't handle the psychotic yet amazing stylings of Kool Keith. Either album is great though....Dan the Automator is a Complete Genius. Check out Deltron 3030 if you're into Dan and perhaps Del tha Funkee Homosapian...although an instrumental version of that is available too. All 4 (everything that touches Automators hands) is pure GOLD!

This review is from: Instrumentalyst (Audio CD)
Few albums can claim such auspicious genesis: Dan the Automator, making history with futuristic, mind-bending beats, Q-bert scratching himself raw, and Kool Keith reduced to a vague, meandering warble on the few vocal blips that make it through the otherwise undefineable hiphop landscape presented here. Make no mistake, there is nothing, and there will never be nothing, kids, like Instrumentalyst. Without peer, without premise, without imitation. This album will get into your bloodstream. This album will turn you away from all the fakers, the players, the haters, the bitchez and hoze, all those who don't know a goddamn thing about what hip and hop really is. Forward thinking, yes. A dream inside an octagon box of mirrors is more like it. Treat your ears and imagination to this rich, wonderful and most of all SPOOKY album--it has delighted every cool party i have ever thrown, guaranteed, sparked wild, sacreilgious conversation, been worshipped and bowed to, cried over, danced, jumped, shouted to, all manner of twilight behavior, etc... Gentlemen, you have been only fooled by music until you have heard the Instrumentalyst masters. You think your heroes have balls? Eminem, with all his talent, could never have the foresight or guts put out an album like this. Tribe? Crushed by the Instrumentalyst shadow. Find yourself a dark night, some peace, and let this one steep. In. Your. Mind. Oh, and they did this YEARS ago, in the skool they tore down to build the old skool.
