"James Brown's absolute highpoint is hard to pinpoint, as he released such a gigantic amount of records in his golden age, and for that same reason the records themselves were often filled with uninteresting fillers plus unimaginative reruns.

"A haunting set of songs, it will only get better with more listens. I really hope they continue to make music together, as this is way too good to be a one off. Bite The Hand is probably my favorite song of the year, and the EP overall is definitely my favorite release." Reply

"Air provides a psychedelic caress between the disassociative culture that gave us ambient music and the idealistic and naive world of post war America which gave us The Birth of Cool. Synthesizers pulsate in a vast but colorless world of texture like a throbbing Ansel Adams photo; then angelic vo..." [+] Reply

"This album is vastly underrated on this site. It's not even in the top 100 of the year it was released. I haven't looked at the entire 1995 chart, but surely this one deserves a spot." Reply

"Jazz, soul, funk, disco, electronics. Fusion. All this merges and solidifies along what is probably the most ambitious project of Thundercat. Bass lines take you on a journey of rhythms ranging from dizzying extroversion to dark zigzagging. The Stoic title suggests a work thought under the improv..." [+] Reply

"Los Hermanos in their best moment. Not a single bad song in here." Reply
"Where has this been all my life? This is an album that is worth it for the first track alone. “Bloodletting” is a bluesy voodoo groove that sets the tone for this album perfectly. The sinister groove within this song makes its way through the remainder of the album, coloring everything in its den..." [+] Reply
