    Love this fusion jazz and hip-hop music. A great album and the sound is excellent.

      No other releases to compare this to but this KG cut sounds fantastic - lots of gorgeous top end detail while retaining enough low end oomph for that signature madlib sound. Easy rec for any music/vinyl enthusiast.

        Great music, but can anyone explain why you should listen to this on vinyl? This stuff is all sampled and digitalized..what am I missing here?

          A truly horrendous record. Nothing to do with the typical jazz audiophile Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series. You don't need to press everything to do business. AVOID AVOID AVOID

                Has anyone been able to compare this to the recent VMP cut?

                  Excellent sound quality, but feels like the bass needs an extra boost.

                    Love the album , sounds great. Just don’t care for the introductions. Sounds like they’re speaking into a cone. To me it spoils it overall.

                      This is an outstanding remaster. Blue Note hardly disappoints. I boosted the bass a bit and it’s perfect. Thanks Kevin G!
