I'd have to say Phive was the best of the Rebirth series. It kicks.

You have to be joking about Freakpower, tho, and "Bug Powder Dust..."

How can you pass by the awesome "Friendly Pressure" by Jhelisa (Gallactica
Rush is f-i-n-e), the dub bomb "Karmacoma" by Massive Attack as remixed by
Portishead, the supremely trippy "Iniquity Worker" by D*Note, the God of
French rap acid jazz MC Solaar, the Isaac Hayes-inspired "Hell is Round the
Corner" by Tricky, and the bluesy power of Ben Harper's "Whipping Boy?"
Each of these absolutey demand that you go out right now and buy the full
album, and all the other stuff these artists have released. It's pure dope.

I'm also sure Method Man could leave Bomb the Bass and the lame Justin
Warfield into the Bug Powder Dust.

IMHO...of course.

I would agree 7 was very very disappointing. At least it's attempting to
go in a new direction. I don't like it.

Cheers,

Deeper Shade of Blues (I think it's the first one... it has "Taurus Woman"

Tune in, Find Joy" by Freakpower and "Bug Powder Dust" by Bomb the Bass.

of all seven volumes. I've heard mixed reviews about them, but I want your
professional :c) opinions, especially for the 7th volume, which I heard
was junk compared to the others.
