Artist: Newcleus | Album: Jam On This! – The Best Of Newcleus | Released: 1997 | Label: Rhino Entertainment Company | Catalog #: R2 72840 | Genre: Electronic, Hip-Hop

Newcleus deserve mention in any history of electro/hip-hop of the early ’80s because of two certifiable classics: “Jam on Revenge (The Wikki-Wikki Song)” and “Computer Age (Push the Button).” Two tracks hardly fill a major compilation album, and at first glance, the group wouldn’t appear to deserve their own best-of set; however, the compilers at Rhino did a good job of selecting tracks from the group’s two albums, 1984’s Jam on Revenge and the following year’s Space Is the Place (a reference to jazz mystic Sun Ra). Other than the obvious hits, great album tracks include “Auto-Man,” “I Wanna Be a B-Boy,” and “Let’s Jam.”
