Reviews
"...The Diverse Stew of DUB, Ragga, Jungle, and House Beats Are Eminently Fresh..."-Rating: B-, 7 out of 10 - "...The album skanks along to its own pungent space-funk flavor, while Roots lays down a consistently laid-back flow with plenty of ragga attitude and aphorisms..."r Uncut (9/01, p.99) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...His rich vocabulary has ripened in the heat of a different hip hop tradition....It's the darkly literate sound of a man "frenchkissing the chaos" that makes this album a higher education...", 7 out of 10 - "...Captivates as it reverberates, pulsing with the sawtooth bass lines of high-voltage Jamaican dancehall...", Ranked #37 in Wire's "50 Records of the Year 2001"., Ranked #18 in Nme's 50 "Albums of the Year 2001"., "...A Landmark Hip Hop Album...", "...Call the Owsla! Call the Demon Boyz! Roots says his hand was guided by the Duppy. Creepy? Worry not, bon jovial mots like, 'You looking for blob-a-blob? Go run find blobby!', will keep you in stitches. Album of the year?...", Ranked #22 in Mojo's "Best 40 Albums of 2001"., 4 stars out of 5 - "...A British hip hop original? Yes indeed...encompassing RZA spaciness...reggae loping...catchy organ pop...and something which sounds like nothing so much as Krautrockers Can..."
