"After impressive tracks on various compilations, EP's, and
solo projects, the dream team of New York's abstract beat scene
have blessed us with a full-length album. The title track is a haunting,
minimalist piece featuring and exotic horn-type melody combined
with simple, yet strange percussion. 'Smoking Up The Music' is a
quick joint on the jungle tip that includes some creative pauses
and breakdowns. Wally and Swingsett always come through with the
oddest vocal samples. Par example, 'Hungry in the Abstract,' a track
first featured on the Audio Alchemy compilation, asks the age-old
quetion, 'Am I hungry for food? . . . Or am I hungry in the abstract?'
'See What . . .' is a slowed-down, 'fat jazzy groove' jam and 'We're
Sayin'?' is its dope, yet somewhat twisted younger brother. I'm
not usually big on female vocals with my beats, but my two favorite
new tracks on this album feature the lovely, serene voice of Lisa
Shaw (who is also Swingsett's wife).
'Omeiomie' and 'Tell Me Something' both feature big hip-hop beats
complemented perfectly by Shaw's singing."

"Well crafted and adventurous, with splashes of old school
funk and hip-hop. -BILLBOARD
