"what an amazing album. chilled and inventive breaks in the style of Fila Brazillia with the same attention to craft and sonic ingenuity. the album has two covers: Superfly by Curtis Mayfield and Paris Match by the Style Council. the former oozes with funk and momentum while the latter seethes... [amazingly] with drum and bass undertones frittering gently away in an original rendition that had me diving for the track listing. the album has some vocals and sampled sounds and is an incredible listen to a sophisticated ear in a variety of settings. the second song Address of the Sun sounds exactly like David Bowie and again I had to double check the credits. the overall album, while down tempo for several cuts, has a humour and creativity that is refreshing and rewarding. Poppy and clever? yes....
highly recommended!"
