The Jurassic 5 DJ makes his solo debut, and his past collaborations with DJ Shadow show through - there's a similar sense of atmosphere and disorientation, it's that same kinda wander through a garden of samples and snippets. Grooves roll in, turntablist flourishes catch the eye; its a rocksolid, well-paced listen that feels like it was worked on very very hard. Which is to say, it hits the head more than the heart, more toetapping than headrolling, never quite sounding like something more meaningful than samples, very well arranged.
Still, for fans of instrumental hiphop, its a masterclass worth studying, a fun puzzle to rustle through the pieces of 4/5
