Beatnik

EW's GRADE
B+

Ever wonder who's responsible for the music that pipes up when you slide your mouse over an image? It might be the groovy cats at Beatnik Beatnik, one of whom is Thomas Dolby Robertson, the man who who blinded us with science back in the '80s. Mosey on over to the Musicman eMixes page, where you can thrill to the splintered sounds of familiar tunes (Puff Daddy's ''Satisfy You,'' Busta Rhymes' ''Get Out'') broken down into their constituent tracks (vocals, drums, bass, etc.) — and reassembled by you. If you've ever wanted to tell Britney Spears to shut up, now you can — with the touch of a button. B+
