One of the absolute classic electro records from the 80's. From the opening synth pattern (think of Cybotron's "Clear" with a little more breathing space), the funky bassline, and scratches by Yella, it is just electro perfection on vinyl. Better yet, this was recently reissued, so there are no excuses for not owning a copy. Essential.

Yella was a friend of Pebo’s. He knew of him from the Wrecking crew and worked with them on a project at JDC Records. We discussed his addition to the project and brought him to my garage studio -- he was very cool and mellow and had great ideas. Alien Wizard was a street name that Kid Frost had given me because I was always twisting sounds around and Kid Frost thought they sounded spacey. Ice-T had also given me a street name, he called me “Davy PhD”. This came from my background in electrical engineering and my consistently pulling electronics apart in the studio – Also, Ice-T would ask me to come be present whenever we negotiated with lawyers because as he put it “Dave speaks Caucasian”! It was nice to feel needed.
