    Peace Gen & the AJ Crew,

    I too have *really* been feeling the Earth compilation. I was lucky enuff
    to get the 5 - wax - box set. there are about 4 or 5 songs that are 3 x
    dope. My favorite is ... oh jeez I dont have it in front of me ... but I
    think it's by Big Bud - it's not "Spritual" it's another one, maybe called
    "how do you do" ? It's got a beautiful, zen like balance, with a full and
    rich mid tempo groove, and slightly minimal Rhodes keys on top of it that
    sound like they could be Lonnie Liston Smith from the early 70's (and I
    dont think it's the track with Weldon Irvine)
    That track is one of my #1's right now!!!!!!!!!!

    Also the vinyl box set is worth picking up for the beautiful artwork.
    Nicely printed saturated color shots of nature-scapes, one on each vinyl
    sleeve inside the box.

    Big up to LTJ Bukem, whose production and label-vision has really grown on
    me over the last few years... he's way beyond musical categories and has a
    very contemplative, elegant, refined aesthetic which never ceases to
    capture my imagination.

    Nat
