I gotta tell ya, I'm not much of a fan of reggae. I do only admire 2 artists of the genre: Bob Marley and this man, Horace Andy. He is a wonder! I don't dance well w/ reggae. I dance better with techno/electronica. LIVING IN THE FLOOD suddenly got me dancing the reggae beat with every track. I was surprised. I never knew much of Horace Andy until I 1st heard him doing guest work on Massive Attack's last 3 CDS. You gotta hear him on the very haunting "Man Next Door" from Massive Attack's '98 masterpiece, MEZZANINE. He just grew on me. I had to buy his new CD, his 1st in 10 yrs. I'm glad I did. There are 14 tracks here. However I think he added a hidden track after song #14. That mystery track is worth it. Song 14, a remix of "After All" is very nicely done by Mad Professor. A tiny problem: there's no lyric book here which is unfortunate. Reading/singing the lyrics are a true necessity. Still a fantastic CD by the legendary Horace Andy. GREAT JOB.

This Cd is Horace's first release of new material in a decade. Sometimes when "old school" reggae artists try to make a comback in the present time it comes out cheesy nothing like their old material.This is not the case. While this is not his best work it still sounds nice. There are a couple of vintage Horace Andy songs on here. If your a fan dont be hesistant to pick up this excellent Cd.
