    Ranges from good to very good. The vinyl is worth seeking out, great sound for low price

    Bangin' cd! Plus Ms. John Soda is featured on more than 1 track. You can't touch that. The beats sink in deep.

    The best surprise of the year so far. Great beats with a political message. My favourite hip-hop "Supa Star". Check it out!

    Excellent CD. Its been a long time i haven't seen such a good cd. its like a mix of Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, and Mark Farina.

    first listen to this artist, like it a lot. very dark and foreboding hip-hop.

    You're just scared that he's right. 50 Cent couldn't buy these beats, not that he could understand them anyway.

    Today, yet another album filled with introverted hip-hop instrumentals--even one with occasional moments of beauty radiating from the murk--is doomed by comparison to the more innovative work the label has been offering lately. [Mar 2006, p.138]

    A production gem. [#19, p.91]

    Soft Money continues to blur the line between downtempo electronica and underground hip-hop in its own distinct, highly gratifying way.
