"as one of the first fortunates to hear this album, i initially listened to it once, and put it on the shelf; it was too different from the carefully crafted, pleasing beats of massive attack. shortly thereafter, i became far too lazy to find my other cds and left this one in the cd player. it's hard to listen to for those used to the quick aural pleasures of whatever mtv may be playing at the moment, but that dosen't detract from it's substance. this album seems to be a melding of noise, a dash of dub and 5 other things that i can't possibly classify. to be careful, it's "experimental." a good listen to chill out to in any event. most pleasing tracks are: enver again; round one dub champions; dzyan blood; Paypa Thin Pt. 3; 108 & Beyond. And remember:demand everything wireless, paper thin, right now."
