Yes, it's the king of freaky electro beats! This is definitely his "hit" album with all the classic joints like "Egypt, Egypt(1)," "Girls(2)," "And My Beat Goes Boom(3)," plus the track that asks the eternal question, "What Is A D.J. If He Can't Scratch?(4)." Originally, most of these were released as monster 12"s back in '84, officially putting LA on the map for new electro sounds. Check all the classic 808 action, freaky lyrics, and sexually pumped up beats to rock the dancefloor. I actually got a chance to see him play at Studio B not too long ago. The whole time I was in awe as I watched him effortlessly rocking doubles in leather pants and shades without even breaking a sweat. All I got to say is, "Pretty fucking masterful!" It just proves the timelessness of his music. This is also in perfect timing with the Arabian Prince (who actually got his name from E. Lover) bringing the old school electro sound back to LA for Stones Throw. If you don't already have this, get hip to it bruh. If you like electro, I'd say this is essential. Recommended!
