"For me this is comfortably album of the decade so far . Rich, varied and complex compositions with production and mixing par excellence. Kamasi and his cohorts have made sublime stuff here and it's possibly the finest jazz release of the century."  Reply

"This is a fantastic noise-pop album. I know it's not grounbraking, but music doesn't have to be groundbraking all the time.
