Editorial Reviews:

"A fusion of Tigerbeat6's pop destruction and 2ManyDJs' mainstream mash-ups." -URB

"Girl Talk...accelerates beats, distorts textures, pitches up flow, and sets up strange juxtapositions to render absurd the sexed-up aura of hip-hop and dance pop." - CLEVELAND SCENE

"In a time when kids can barely sit through an entire album by just one artist, this A.D.D. mix will keep them sedated and/or spastic." - XLR8R

Girl Talk (a.k.a. Gregg Gillis) is back with his third album on Illegal Art! With each release getting closer to his notorious semi-naked live show, Night Ripper is focused less on beat-fuckery and more on bringing heat to the party. It bangs as a continuous mix packed with wildly disparate Top 40 genres and eras. Current hip-hop hits, soft rock radio standards, party classics, grunge masterpieces, R&B singles, glossy club-shakers and rock anthems are all layered and pieced together into one nonstop celebration of pop and excess declared "a plunderphonics party record" by Mark Hosler of Negativland.

Girl Talk tours regularly and actively participates and collaborates with other "on the verge" Midwest and East Coast artists such as Grand Buffet (Fighting), Drop the Lime (Tigerbeat6), Chris Glover (Interscope) and Hearts of Darknesses (Schematic/Asphodel).

Summary: Fun fun fun
Comment: I discovered Girl Talk after stumbled across his remix of a Bonde Du Role song. There's 250 samples from 167 artists on the album. This is what happens when an engineering student discovers drugs. Play this album in your car and watch your friends ask, "hey, what is that?" Play it in a club and get everyone dancing. Sense of humor mandatory. Gregg Gillis is the mash up shiz.

Summary: The greatest argument for "Sampling" as its own Genre.
Comment: Gregg Gills is visionary, and this album is a testament to that. The different tracks are mixed with such skill that the blend between tracks and mixes is completely fluid and sounds great. Ive heard a few mashup artists that I really like, but Gills takes the cake with this album.

I can only imagine that this album will become banned someday soon, so if you collect music, own it! It is worth every penny you will pay for it.

I could go through and tell you every part of this album that I love, (and there are MANY) but I won't. You need to hear this album all the way through, from "Once Again" to the end of "Peak Out".

Summary: Great for someone out of the mainstream.
Comment: This is a great album for me because I never listen to the radio and don't keep up with current pop music. The songs are recognizable but I would never listen to them on a daily basis. Night Ripper forces me to. A lot of the songs that are packed into this album appear to be fairly current (though, to be honest, I haven't looked too deep into the majority of the samples). Even so, it's all the pop or mainstream music I could ever want packed into a non-stop dance mix that's full of surprises. I agree with another reviewer, this mix isn't necessarily for a purpose but many of the combinations are similar to what The Hood Internet has been doing. The mixes are odd, unthinkable, and always entertaining.

This frequents my CD changer or car now and continuously makes me smile. Like I said, it's recommended for people like myself who rarely listen to the radio or keep up with pop music but still enjoy its catchiness. The good sides of pop are around every corner in Night Ripper.

Summary: Skip this Import, Get the Domestic
Comment: This import CD has the same track listing as the domestic U.S. CD but charges twice the price.

Go buy the domestic CD instead.

Summary: Pop culture lesson.
Comment: Night Ripper is a dance album both unlike any other and just like every other. That is why it is so good. It reminds me of what Warhol did with consumer goods and pop icons. Night Ripper is Pop Art at its best.
