5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album for Trippin' and Chillin', November 21, 2003

Great album from a consistently great band. This is from back when they were a big group. (Now they're just a couple or three guys who work with other musicians an album at a time.) The basic idea is incorporation of music from all over the world with fantastic electronica beats (not ordinary lame stuff, but really organic). Add a bit of Latin American Revolutionary fervor and worldly awareness. Stir in the perspective of these guys from the same town in the UK that Portishead and Massive Attack come from.

Some tracks are more traditional, others have a more electronica beat.

Despite the UK-world music link, the merging of cultures is really respectful. I like these guys so much that I went to amazon.uk to get their latest release (Urban Evacuation), which isn't available in the States. Great track on this album: Mr. Pavement Man.

This whole album reminds me of psychedelic visions I had looking south from the pyramids towards the Sahara, with Osirus and Isis looming starlike in the sky. But your milage may vary. Anyway, good album.

the only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the second half or third third drags for me a little. i was introduced to up, bustle + out by a ninja/xen sampler. i definitely enjoy the album and would recommend it to those who do and don't know the work.
