![]() ![]() It's just unfortunate that while 3rd Bass might have been one of the most underappreciated hip-hop acts around, this patchy remix collection too frequently gives their detractors more than enough ammo to fire back at them. On April 6, 2013, however, Serch announced on Facebook 3rd Bass would reunite after over 20 years to tour in celebration of The Cactus Album. In any case, for those desperately looking for anything new from a band cut too short in their career, Cactus Revisited might still placate such woes. 3rd Bass broke up shortly after the album’s release. Plus, to make matters worse, the previously unreleased "3 Strikes 5000" quickly loses its collector gem value since it later appeared on the band's superb Derelicts of Dialect full-length. "Wordz of Wisdom," for instance, is clearly the worst delinquent because despite an absolutely delightful use of Depeche Mode samples, it quickly staggers as it tries to stretch out into its eight-minute entirety. No skipping on the CD or DVD, when played. The cover art and liner notes are included for a CD. May have minor damage to jewel case or item cover, including scuffs, cracks, or scratches. Some remixes such as the more danceable version of "The Cactus" or Prince Paul's terrifically energized take on "Gas Face" are mighty entertaining, but others seem to just sit on their thumbs and lengthen the original tracks. Good: An item that has been used but is good condition. A bit of a between-album attempt to keep the band in people's sights, Cactus Revisited takes most of the biggest hits from 3rd Bass' debut and hands them over to such respected mixers as Marley Marl, Dave Darrell, and Prince Paul for them to play with. ![]()
