"One of the most cutting edge, movement-defining and progressive labels of all time was Celluloid Records, a New York-based label headed by a musical scout by the name of Bill Laswell. His unerring talent for allowing 'crossover potential' to shape his releases, thus creating new styles, put the label at the forefront of what was happening from 1982 to 1986. Next to Rap, Celluloid's defining sound was electronic beats aka Electro! -- The real sound made lavish use of Linn drums, Yamaha DMX and real turntable scratching -- sounds that mass audiences were exposed to a little later on Herbie Hancock's million selling 'Rock It'. Of course, the people behind it were Bill Laswell and DJ Grandmixer D.ST... The other stars of the movement were Fab Five Freddy, the Afrika Bambaataa project Time Zone and the famous graffiti artist Futura 2000. The most comprehensive collection of the N.Y. cult label for the period of 1982 - 1986. Includes the important and collectors item 12" singles by Afrika Bambaataa's side project Time Zone, Grandmixer D.ST, Fab Five Freddy, Futura 2000 w/The Clash, Shango, Manu Dibango, Deadline a.o."
