5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of my favorite albums of all time, May 24, 2002

This is truly a magnificent album. The sound quality is excellent, the performance is way out and the inventiveness is remarkable. If you want to buy only one Red Snapper album, this is by far the one. The band has changed a lot and what they have put out after this album is not comparable. It looks like they are trying to be more commercial and they now sound like any hip hop band (now they have a rapper). I wish they returned to the style that makes this album special. Buy this one, you will not regret it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Red Snapper is hip hop meets jazz. Beautiful!, March 19, 1999

I totally recommend this to anyone who likes where jazz and hip hop are melding and heading into the future. It's beautiful stuff, all live instruments and scratching. Another of their albums "Making Bones" is great, too.

If you miss the psych-jazz genius bands of the Seventies like Colosseum, If and Nucleus, then you'll love this record. It's like stepping back into London 1971. The only complaint I have about the record is that I think the drums are tuned a little too tightly. They could use a more looser sound to match the loose grooves, but I'm just quibbling. There's some great playing going on this one.
