4.0 out of 5 stars ...this needs ritalin..., January 24, 2002

...i have listened to this several times and still dont know what to make of it...my reactions veer from "whutha'ell!?!" to "whutha'fu#k?!?"....enjoyable, omost pleasant one moment; jus plain noisy the next.
the best way for me to describe this is if you let a romper room full of hyperactive kids have access to some jazz records, a sampler, a recording studio and chocolate!!!
electronic-freejazz-on-acid...
even tho i gave it four stars i might give it only one tomorrow...and then five stars the day after that!
this is the armeggedon filtered thru the ghost of dizzy gillespie and medeski, martin & wood...
both calming and chaotic! (and now my head hurts!)....

5.0 out of 5 stars Amon Tobin and Squarepusher Fans, Here is Your New Hero!!, April 2, 2001

Clifford Gilberto is has successfully bridged the gap between trip hop, durms and base, Brazilian funk and old time big band jazz and fused all of those elements into one terrific drill and base phenomenon that rivals and pushes over the best in the business. This is a fantastic cd. From haunting ballad like instrumental tracks like "Restless" to vynel driven hooks like "Kuia World" and "soulbath" to confused drill masterpieces like "I wish i was a motown star" and "earth v/s me" this CD is a rare gem that i feel is dangerously overlooked. Vocal samples are really cool and sometimes funny and lighten the mood of this cd a bit cuz theres plenty of seriousness to go around. Clifford Gilberto is an accomplished guitar player and that is evident in many tracks where you will find underlying organic guitar riffs and short melodies which are totally cool. Ever since i baought this CD (2 months ago) it hasent left my cd player. By releaseing the Cd Clifford Gilberto has placed himself right in front of the long line of musicinas who are pirme architects of futeristic music.

quite simply, this is one of the best albums i have ever owned. whenever i travel, or am somewhere stranded from music, i tend to take this album, miles davis' kind of blue, and amon tobin's permutation as a general rule. this album is my anthem, my lullaby, and my oil for mental coherency. ever had a whole album stuck in your head? find out what its like.
