Customer Reviews:

This is a brilliant album.......2007-05-15

Make sure you check out this album, Manipulating Agent has become a personal favorite of mine. this is a landmark album in Australia - Katalyst is definitely one of the most interesting hip-hop artists of recent times.

The scratching by Leeroy Brown is tight & full of musicality and Katalyst has integrated the cuts cleverly within the arrangements. A good mix of upbeat sounds and blunted beats. If you like The Automator or Portishead then check this album out. Its the bomb!

Great Album.......2005-10-29

This is a great album, lots of variety and funky tracks - I highly recommend a listen.

You have to hear this.......2004-05-26

Buy this CD and you will not be dissapointed, it a awesome mixture of hip-hop/dance/funk/rock/trip-hop. If you like DJ shadow this is way better imho.

Just missed the punch.......2004-02-12

This CD at first gives the impression of delivering the ultimate mix of funk, break beats, jazz and hip-hop with some sweet mixing and cutting.
Unfortunately it milks it's one asset the whole album. While the production is awesome, it's testament to the fact that it alone down't give life to music.
I'd prefer someone like Cut Chemist or DJ Shadow over this, where the art and creative is in your face and not just premeditated cuts. Then again, it's nice chill background music.

Manipulating the senses...........2003-02-09

A great album full of funk,chill out tunes and great hip/hop gems.These guys can really get your ... of the seat,but also have the talent to keep you there cool and relaxed with there super cool chillout tunes.

I'm not usually into this style of music, but was immediatly drawn into it by hearing "Fusion" and "Showtime" on the radio. Those funky, james brown esc beats just grab me everytime.

These dudes are a great example of Australian dance/hip hop + they've won awards for Best Album/best producer.

Recently saw them live and they were awsome!! BUY THIS ALBUM!!
