"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."
