(5 out of 5 stars)
"I gotta tell ya, I'm not much of a fan of reggae. I do only admire 2 artists of the genre: Bob Marley and this man, Horace Andy. He is a wonder! I don't dance well w/ reggae. I dance better with techno/electronica. LIVING IN THE FLOOD suddenly got me dancing the reggae beat with every track. I was surprised. I never knew much of Horace Andy until I 1st heard him doing guest work on Massive Attack's last 3 CDS. You gotta hear him on the very haunting "Man Next Door" from Massive Attack's '98 masterpiece, MEZZANINE. He just grew on me. I had to buy his new CD, his 1st in 10 yrs. I'm glad I did. There are 14 tracks here. However I think he added a hidden track after song #14. That mystery track is worth it. Song 14, a remix of "After All" is very nicely done by Mad Professor. A tiny problem: there's no lyric book here which is unfortunate. Reading/singing the lyrics are a true necessity. Still a fantastic CD by the legendary Horace Andy. GREAT JOB."
