Really good, subtle electronics

"if you don't already have the album, this is the way to get it. the domestic cd's sound quality revealed limitations to me and since this album is so reliant in the most minute and detailed sounds,(it was 4 years in the making), you should get the import version, (providing you have a good syestm of course). for some reason, import cds are usually pressed better, with japanese imports being the best. just weigh them if you don't believe me. anyway, the music itself is top notch. while not as immediately satisfying as their debut "leftism", repeated listenings will reveal a sound that is very precise and quite warm to the ears. the grooves envelop you. the dubs wash over you. the only weak cut here, "swords" only fails by adding the ubiquitous female vocale, in a "trip hop" stylee. the music, however, is great and vocal almost doesn't detract from it. the disc of remixes is an added bonus and these are not available anywhere else. they are all very good takes on the tracks but what would you expect from icube and maas? all in all, a good purchase if you have the cash."
Just awesome

"Marvellous album. Gets better each time I hear it. So many wicked tracks on one album and the 2nd cd contains the video for both Dusted an Afrika shox, if you needed another reason for buying it."
