This is very similar to Anti-Theft Device because it is less battle-oriented and more of a creative output. My favorite track is Dwarf 9 so check that out. Plus this CD grows on you, and I like it more and more every time I listen to it front to back.
Mixmaster Mike's style is like jazz-hiphop-electric fusion, and he makes it very difficult for listeners to pinpoint the samples he is using. I've had this CD for years and am still recognizing split-second samples from other songs ranging from jazz to rock to underground hip hop. The thing about Mike is his vast knowledge of music and records in general, and I believe he is the greatest sampling DJ to ever touch a turntable. He must have one of the largest record collections, and it shows in his non-battle efforts. But I love his battle mixtapes best (Unidentifried Essentials, Eardrum Medicine, Muziks Worst Nightmare, Memoirs of a Serial Wax Killer, Rescue 916, Neckthrust One, etc - use the internet). He's a one-man band.
