Editorial Reviews
This fascinating compilation examines the underbelly of the fractured '90s hip-hop world. It also reconciles two musical worlds that have previously had little to do with each other: ambient dub-funk and classic cut `n' scratch DJing...
Musician (12/01/1996)
...Relying upon prolonged pleasure instead of short sharp shocks, [this album's] cosmic space scratchers probe deep...
Melody Maker (10/12/1996)
...this disc explores the foggy boundary between funk and the subtleties of trance....among the better of those jazz/dub-hop soundscapes....this disc succeeds as a groove-laden audio experiment.
Option (09/01/1996)
...seamlessly connecting classic turntable wizardry, in-the-pocket live musicianship and '90s sound manipulation....Too much good stuff from too many cool guest stars to name; just get it.
