"I've always been a fan of hip hop as an artform. Listened to artosts like dr. octagon, dj shadow and krush and knowing that this form of music had a great amount of potential. This cd made me realise that hip hop is in fact the most relevant and maleable form of music out there today. I picked it up on vinyl at a local store because of the shadow track. That track turned out to be very short and not all that great just shadow and cut chemist having fun with some brainfreeze type stuff. But as I got further into it I realized that it had a wealth of great undiscovered to me talent. The track by presage is phenomenal (by far my favorite on the album). It's a 10 minute long epic with amazing vocal samples and a shadowesque sound to the music. I ended up buying presage's outer limits cd because of this song and that too is a great cd. Also on this album are dj faust, the mammal, dj zeph and a host of others. I don't have the track list with me so it's a little hard to remember all thats on there, but it is a solid album with a prevailing theme: hip hop is reconstructing itself, watch out."
