Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
The debut LP from the formidable scratching DJ, Kid Koala fulfils the fevered critical and public response that greeted his 'live' sets and remixes/collaborations with Money Mark, DJ Vadim and Handsome Boy Modelling School. Koala describes his LP as having been 'hand-cut': this is music that was made by manipulating his vinyl and record decks--much of it in real-time. A radical approach but Koala is a virtuoso DJ and can use his turntables to generate delicate melody and subtle shades of meaning. 'Barhopper 1' is a lurch of drunken, ambient jazz with a nostalgic (perhaps culled from 1950s Hollywood) mix of voices that discuss love, drinking and dating etiquette. The result of the LP is similarly playful, even psychedelic--a collage of spoken-world samples and beatnik and bar-room jazz textures. Koala seems to have created fresh artistic ground for the DJ-musician and made a warm, easy-to-like LP and quite possibly a classic. --Tony Marcus

- Please sir, can I have some more?Its always the same - an album gets hyped to a stage that no artist can realistically match. Yeah, there may be comparisons with Shadow and RJD2 but those boys provided quality product over numerous tracks. At a little over half-an-hour long, with numerous vocal samples, you can't help but feel a little ripped-off when buying this 'album'. Its great in parts but a few more tracks, offering a truer showcase of Kid's skills, would've been a better reflection of this artist's abilities.

- So beaten, cut and scratched that it hurts.... in a good wayWell what can i say, eh? The first time i heard/saw kid koala's musical artistry was when i witnessed the video for 'fender bender'. This was quite a while ago, maybe about 2 or 3 years ago. i finally got around to buying the album early this year, solely on hearing that one record which, as a rule, i never do- i have to listen to at least 2 or 3 tracks by an artist before i venture out and get the record or whatever. so, i had no idea what i was gonna be in for. from the first track, i got the impression ...

- Those Wacky Canadians Never Disappoint!if you like good beats, lots of scratching, and have a good sense of humour, this one's for you.
kid koala is a genius!
(be warned that this album is not for everybody, and at times the scratching can become a bit much)

- ScratchtasticIgnore words like 'novelty' when they are bandied around about the Kid. His scratching is at times breathtaking and his samples are an inherent part of the musical cutting & pasting. The man is truly a hex on the decks and the most ablist of any turntablist.
If you like your music with melody and harmony then stear clear because there is little of that in here. However, the beats and scratches more than make up for it. To use the word dj doesn't do justice to his prowess on the decks. Someone ... Read More

- this cd is uselessI have heard kid koala live and he was amazing so i thought i would buy his album AS YOU DO, when listening to it i was very dissapointed, instead of some dope scratching and phat beats it was just weird noises like something outta the jungle you can't even listen to it without thinking you have been ripped off.
