"I found the majority of tracks on this CD to be seemingly fairly simple breakbeats with a few stabs and licks of guitar, horn or keyboard thrown in. Although each track is competent and some of the later ones do stand up on their own, generally there is not enough meat on the tracks. (My girlfriend said it almost sent her to sleep whilst driving!) For a better example of this trip-hop style check out Morcheeba, or Rae and Christian, or Lamb, or Massive Attack, or..."
An AWESOME album !

"I went to the local store today and traded in a bunch of CD's I don't listen to for this weird lookin' CD by the London Funk Allstars. I've been around u know, and I know the band OK, but I never owned anything and to put a name on the sound so to speak, I went and bought it for the hell of it. Wow was I susprised to hear them phat tunes and crazy vibes. An excellent album, well produced and played by a very mature bunch of "lads". If only they hired somebody good to their CD covers if u know what I mean. Song#1 is one you've most likely heard before if u were hangin' out at spinner.com. Song#2 has an excellent vibe to it. And it goes on and on and on. Most Valued track -> too numerous to mention here. You won't regret ths album, if u do, there will be somebody else to gladly buy it off you. It's an efficient market you know..."
Funkadelic!

"this album is pretty damn good if you appreciate decent funky music...even though some of it is quite hip-hop orientated, there is a good variation of tempo throughout. I think track no. 9 is the best one - guaranteed to make you bop!"
Good Album Even In Retrospect

"If you're a fan of "Trip-Hop"..It all starts here. Every track is a good clean example of what it's all about. It's from 1996 off the Ninja Tune label. Ninja Tune is the founder of Trip Hop, Abstrakt- Hopage...This album has all the blockbuster jams on it. DJ krush played half of them on his COld Crush Cuts CD-mix. If you dislike this cd it's because you don't know anything about Downtempo, Trip-hop, or Abstract music...
It's loaded with funk-Jazz-Hip-Hop, and off beat measures of goodness. I reccommend getting the LP version, it has 7 more songs not on the CD, and they are the best ones.
From 96, but you could move a NYC crowd w/ it's material."
