Oh Yeah, this stuff is da shit man! Welcome to the awesome world of Kiwi roots/dub/reggae and the album that was the breakthrough for the hardworking Dub' and the template for the great Kiwi music scene for the last 9 years.These boys, who hail from my home town of Christchurch, really know their stuff. With this album, they have infused elements of Dub, Reggae, Drum N' Base, Acid Jazz, Electronica, Jungle, Toasting, Dancehall, Soul and Rap, just to name the obvious ones, into a cohesive uplifting, danceable, poppy, melodic masterpiece of contemporary music.. The first two tracks kick off in brilliant style with these bass driven dance floor monsters, followed by the beautiful and radio friendly "Love Your Ways".Track five is the truly magnificent "Bromley East Roller" a roller coaster of D N' B and jungle groove that is quite possibly the best song here and a reminder that I too use to roll in  Bromley during my teenage years. "Inside.." is a true NZ classic and went to No.1 here and the rest of the world don't know what it missed. this album GROOVES from start to finish. My Rating 5/5.
