fortehwinAug 30, 2005Grew on my quicker than I could find the loop button on my CD player, and I'm still not sick of it after about 3 months of constant enjoyment. Feels very much like the music of one man made enormous but still sounding like it's in the room 'with you'.

mattaJul 11, 2005This is the sexiest music of the year. D'angelo meets Aqualung. Great stuff.

BayJayJul 19, 2005I have no f'in idea where the negative reviews are coming from. This album works as a pop record, while still managing to be forward thinking and original. This album is too catchy for people to complain that they "don't get it", and it's too original for people to call it "boring".

TimJAug 1, 2005I must agree...if you dislike this, you are simply trying too hard to be cool. This is Warp's best release in years.

salomeyAug 20, 2005i don't really believe in 10 out of 10 and therefore i give it a 9 the song material is overall strong enough but with this voice and such great production he could make coldplay songs sound interesting

RDSmithAug 28, 2005Great fusion of soul and electronica. I knew this was good way back when I heard the whole album in May.

DrunkenMasterAug 3, 2005This CD should come with its own birthcontrol device, it is that funky fresh. Turn it up and dance, suckas.

SimGNov 1, 2005Very creative, great combination on an album, but give it some time. It takes a little bit of time to grow on you.

ChrisCJul 14, 2005Great album. 80's soul and R&B with a 00's feel. And great songwriting too. A welcome throwback to an underused genre.

RonaldDumbsfeldAug 18, 2005This guy has soul. He is the opposite of all the Franz Ferdinandesque wannabe 80s crap out there today.
