"You may not have heard much of them, but their work has consistently shown up on more discerning playlists. Beats from Hip Hop blend seamlessly with guests artists (from Jungle Brothers to Jeru) to create rich soundscapes (a definite change from your typical Hip Hop stuff - this is melodic and multilayered) but it's the tracks with singer Veba which are the standouts on this album...Trk 6 All I Ask is sublime. Texas (Scottish pop-rock band) has a good track on here too - The Hush. This CD is ideal for lounging at home, or the beach...wherever you are, this is gonna take you on an aural holiday. Unfortunately this CD will probably get lost among the dreck in the US market, simply because you can't pigeonhole it as straightforward hip-hop. If you're after something more.Buy this CD."
