Editorial Review:
"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).

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great for someone out of the mainstream.
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. ... Read More
Rating:  - Skip this Import, Get the Domestic
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.
Rating: - Pop culture lesson.
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.
Rating: - AMAZING
Gregg Gillis dazzles with his rythmic genuis and starts the party that you won't want to end.
Rating:  - Very Different, but Good!
This is one of the more different DJ mixes that I have ever heard. The only down side to this CD is that most of the tracks leave you wanting more. Track 5 is so good, that it was worth buying the CD, it is a mix with Notorious BIG and Elton John, it will blow your mind.
