Delving deep into their record crates, the boys mix, scratch and splice everything on the 18 tracks herein, throwing down the best of rock, rap, hip-hop, pop and old-school hits.

Who'd have thought beat juggling and sample frolicking could be so acrobatic? If you thought the X men's 2002 release Built from Scratch was good, then this action-packed set will knock you out. There's enough head-bopping, singalong anthems to inspire the next generation of scratch-meisters. On top of the fat bass lines and classic cuts are some of the smartest rhymes and quirky lines they've dedicated to vinyl.

When you've recovered from the awe-inspiring turntable skills, check out the MC talents on show. The guest roster reads like a who's who of the game, with contributions from The Roots' Black Thought, dead prez, Fat Joe, Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah and Slug from Atmosphere.

Revolutions covers the full sweep of hip-hop entertainment, from turntable battles to dance-floor smashers, MC showcases, playful skits and old-school tributes. The X-Ecutioners' attitude is hardcore, their vibe is cheerful and their talent is, well, deadly.
