5.0 out of 5 stars Worth your money., June 21, 2000

I heard this CD played in a restaurant/club in Prague a few weeks ago and had to ask who it was; I ate there three days later and they were kind enough to play it again for me. It's a very smooth album, something you'd want to play softly during a dinner party or loudly, speakers turned out the window, as you're lying in the backyard getting a tan. It's sort of R&B, sort of trippy, with great beats. The song "Sail" is also on HedKandi's Serve Chilled 2 compilation, which is another worthwhile buy. Looking forward to the release of this album, any day now.

5.0 out of 5 stars On a par with Shadow....., May 30, 2000

Yeah, my sentiments match those of the other reviewers ('cept for the last one) - excellent abstract hip hop. Smooth layers, flawless beats and busting bass; this is mellow intelligent hip hop at its best. The instrumentals are clean and deep, and the tracks with rapping still hold the attention, moving on and up. Manchester pushing it on - I was delighted with this purchase; I was actually recommended it from a discussion on the mo'wax website, and I thank the three plus people who raved about this album. It actually reminds me of the better tracks of the DJ Cam 'DJKicks' album. I can't recommend this highly enough....

4.0 out of 5 stars Aiming high, nearly there, December 4, 1999

This album can be neatly cut into two sections, the first and better of the sections contains Sail and Cold water music, tracks which are radically different from the rest of the recording, very reminiscent of Air, who they sit right next to on my shelf. The second half is marginally the weaker, containing a lot of downtempo hip hop, a la definition of sound. The Halloween II sampling track is great though.
