Rating: - Very listenable
This was crazily undervalued at the time of it´s release mainly because this group sit uncomfortably between the hip-hop scene and the type of music you see on extreme sports programmes. Basically they don´t get much credibility from Hip-Hop fans because, "it just ain´t gangsta." The fact is that they are brilliant.

The first time I heard The Herbaliser it happened to be in the u.k. a few years ago and they were seriously good. And when I first heard this album I was not disappointed in the slightest the beats and the rapping are well matched and the beats are chilled with sounds intermingled with Jazziness. With the new album already launched I would rank very mercenary on a par with the new one. I cant wait to see them live again.

I'd bought this after hearing "8-point agenda" expecting more of the same, but this is different. A pleasant surprise you might say! Featuring Mc's and Dj's from all over, such as Roots Manuva in 'Starlight'. There's a useful track for all you ladies out there ('The Sensual Woman') as well as some of the most chilled noises to come out of my stereo.
