Piggybacking my previous threads this is Urban's final album and its sure is a dandy. If you somehow managed to like my previous posts this shouldn't disappoint. While this isn't quite the same as Listen its certainly a great album. This group's unique sound led me to discover a bunch of other groups and subsequently I have a bunch of reviews to go.
So smooth...so moving....timeless
Rolling bass lines are fun
Reminds me of Fort Minor
There's a song on there on there called religion and politics. That song is so good and its a shame I can't find it...shucks
Anywho I think you all will enjoy this.

Yo Cise thats some dope stuff. Real smooth and creative. I know I couldn't bump them in the ride because i'll fall alseep to this but for maxing at the crib I could try it. Is all their shit that slow though? Are they from the UK? Real fucking sad shit like this does not see the light of day on mainstream radio.

Appreciate the shout Kev. The tempos of their stuff is pretty varying but I guess you could say a lot of it is slower.
Yeah they are from the UK.
Yeah its a shame this stuff don't get shine but underground heads show this mad love.
Anyone who needs a link let me know.

Hey Cise, I'm glad you posted this. A lot of people aren't too up on acid jazz nor trip hop. I've been digging that stuff for years.

Word. You are a man of good taste. I'm pissed I didn't hear about this stuff sooner.

After a few spins this album has pretty much retained my original rating. Its a shame a group like this faded out because the vibes on this album are still groovy.
