"The perfect BOC record and my favorite of all time. "Golden Age Of Leather" may be their best track ever but even the laid back tracks have a strong appeal here. "Death Valley Nights" and "I Love The Night" almost suggest a Gothic Eagles. Very cool record."  Reply

"Inncercity Griots is perhaps, in a word, singular. Absolutely one of the titans of abstract hip hop from where I'm standing, Freestyle Fellowship combine the laid back, jazzy production of A Tribe Called Quest (along with a healthy dose of their penchant for "weird" lyrics) with a variety of uniq..."  [+]  Reply

"Hubbard's first album as leader is a real gem. The compositions are excellent as are the solos, and Hubbard is very ably supported by a young but tasteful and empathetic McCoy Tyner on piano."  Reply

"This 3 CD set is unfathomable and unpredictable. Why include the dreadful live version of Baby Blue, but not Blind Willie Mctell? Some really inspired picks, such as the live version of Isis really bring something to the party, but a pointless I Don’t Believe You sounds like filler from a man who..."  [+]  Reply

"Wow! As soon as the needle drops into the groove, psychedelia fills the room. Harpsichord, organ, vibes, Mellotronesque flute drenched in reverb, psychedelic guitar, it's all here. And this is just the first track! Production is excellent on the vinyl re-issue. Recommended for lovers of psychedelia."  Reply
