For turntablelist, with a nod to hip-hop.....

"This cd represents what I like best about DJ Krushes work. When he wants to he can be as creative as any dj, but he needs the backing of equally talented people who can hold up their end. On this cd he has plenty of company with home grown and American talent as well Esthero from Canada. I will say this is a cd for turntable oriented listeners, and those who can listen to intramentals without your attention wandering."

Instrumental hip hop masterpiece

"This is easily Krush's best work and would have to represent one of the top instrumental hip hop albums released to date. Krush creates a blissful sonic balance using the contrast of hypnotic heavy beats with lush but sparse atmospherics. He is the master of this art.



His collaboration with DJ Shadow on "The Dawn" is instrumental hip hop perfection. If you are even remotely interested in this genre then I cannot recommend this album highly enough."

Great downtempo tip0hop

"For some--not what you're looking for--so don't bother reviewing.



For others, this is a great down tempo/hip hop blend of deep beats and rhythms.



Admittedly, not what I was looking for--but found it intriguing none-the-less--beautiful 1-offs with deep soulful melodies and intriguing bass lines.



Give it a shot if you dig this sort of gig.



PS check out x-men if you dig turntablism, and Sasha if you dig melodic down tempo. You may even dig on London Electricity or Thom Yorke.



hope this helps__Statik"
