"I was first exposed to this band through an internet radio site. I'm amazed theres not any reviews up here yet! If you like trip hop you have to pick this CD up. It has a very cool breezy, upbeat feeling and is sort of a combination of icy trip hop bands like Massive Attack and Drum & Bass like Roni Size/Breakbeat Era with a bit of jazz influence. The female vocals are out of this world. Sultry, soulful, and silky smooth. Standout tracks are 'I Wish' and 'Always 2 Always'.. Well, all of them are standouts really. Give it a listen, if you like bands like Morcheeba, Lamb, Massive Attack, Moloko, you'll love it."

"Not really sure how this album was overlooked during its day. Great lyrics, great vocals, great beats - a truly exceptional neo-jazz (before the term was cool) recording, with influences ranging from Ella to Portishead. Think Jill Scott mixed with Bahamadia, backed with beats by Andrew Barlow of Lamb. Truly one of the better albums of recent years, in any genre."
