This highly acclaimed fourth album, previously only available on vinyl, is now available on CD for the first time! It also includes bonus tracks not available on LP or subscription services.
Although his roots lie in 70s funk, soul, and jazz, he is rapidly gaining recognition among young listeners who did not experience rare groove in real time, and is an artist whose popularity is rapidly growing as he is seen as a leader of the next generation!
Stylish, elegant, and groovy. As an artist signed to Madlib's library label, "Madlib Invazion," and with J. Rocc also praising his talent, this album has already garnered high praise from black post-rare groove fans. On the other hand, this masterpiece is also moving fans of European lounge/listening music like Easy Tempo! The consistent threads of this album are a pounding (hip-hop-esque) beat, majestic strings, and delicate, beautiful melodies that evoke a sense of wabi-sabi. This is a sound that rivals the work of such greats as Piero Piccioni, Quincy Jones, and Ennio Morricone. His consistent style, powerful compositional skills without a single unnecessary track, and attention to sound quality are all testament to his craftsmanship!
