    I really like this album Malik and crew have created an album filled with
    some good songs all arranged and settled into a bed of very good modern
    sounds and rhythms. The coloring of the acoustic song element with the
    great electronic textures makes for a wonderful package as far as I am
    concerned. The electronic rhythms range from drum and bass-like stuff to
    some nice jazzy flavors and all of it is overlaid with Maliks voice a
    warm sound all of its own. The songs themselves range from a Bill
    Withers cover to some ethnic ditties from Maliks African heritage and I
    like the range of it all. Since I love African music I am always happy to
    find albums like these that crossover into other musical regions while
    keeping the flava of the original African sounds. The album has
    instrumentation that goes from thumb-pianos to guitars and the usual
    keyboards and it is a bit unusual for an album like this to be coming out
    of Compost but I am happy to see it happen I love the idea of the Compost
    catalogue getting more African sounds in it and I am thrilled at the
    prospect of some of the producers in Composts stable tearing up the sort
    of material Malik has created and re-stitching it for listening and the
    dance floor More power to Michael Reinboth and Crew for this album and
    the continued excellence of the label as a whole.
