This record has sparked numerous late - night conversations at our Lab. First off, it features some of the sickest grooves ever pressed on vinyl. With complex movements and the hard - hitting drumming of Alphonse Mouzon, it's a goldmine for sample - lovers. Sampled by big names like Tribe in their Low End Theory interludes, Beastie Boys in 'Get It Together', Pete Rock on his first album, and Babu in Comprehension, this album is full of sample - worthy moments. McDaniels' religious vocals are an acquired taste. They're not your typical great singing, but over the funky arrangements, they're strangely captivating. On tracks like 'Jagger the Dagger' (which has a RAMP - like feel), the vocals gel perfectly, while on others like 'See What's Happening...' in 'Headless Heroes', they create an odd clash. This album truly tests the boundaries of the record - digging scene, pitting quality against rare quality. The 2018 pressing comes on 180 - gram vinyl with a convincing repro cover and labels from Music On Vinyl. 180 - gram vinyl pressing. Music label: Music On Vinyl 2018. Reviewed by the mgmnt 05/2009.
