"I think this is the best of the Bim cds although different from their norm. It is slower, more melodic, haunting, very opposite to the style on 'Universal'.Here are the tracks on this one:Line to You, Set me UP, Run Joe, In This House, Rain and Pour, Burning Underground, Sequoia, Rain, Edge of a Knife, Murky Water, Skaloop, Dub Mistake, and Three Legged DubInfo on the cd liner notes tells that this cd spans 10 yrs of recording history. "It includes seven never before released tracks, two remixes by world-renowned dub wizard, Mad Professor, three rare compilation tracks, and one B-side." They add that the same five core band members are on every track. Vinny (Vince Nobile) is just amazing on the trombone and vocals! I think my favorite is "Burning Underground" which is about mineshaft fires, but has the strangest most haunting tunes in it. We also love "Run Joe". This is one of our favorite and most listened to cds in a large eclectic music collection. If you like Ska, check out this one!"
