“The insistent bounce to this puts me in mind of Indian pop rhythms. In step with those post-Dilla, post-Prefuse, post-Dabrye and whatever else beats, but not like it'd be mistaken for anyone else. Worth jumping on.”

“Gorgeous song- my favorite on the album. Was not expecting the opening line with a title like this...”

“Nice melancholy new wavey number... has been a fave of mine for a while now.”

“Was always a big tune... best of the "nu disco" artists, I reckon.”

“Nice for rainy New York.”

“Slick Rick's verse (2:35) is one of the big highlights for me on this album. It's amazing he and Madlib never got together before...”

“Classic Dilla - he suddenly chops an upbeat synth soul track into something slower and grimier, fragments of the original's prettiness clashing in the best way with the beats. Nice.”

“Slick and a touch creepy, with slow-mo electro beats and synth arpeggios. Reminiscent of stuff like 'Lightworks' off Donuts and his crazy remix of Daft Punk. It's natural to suspect post-humous compilations as just being filler (filla?) but this is... good.”

“West Coast summer music. The hook is majestic!”

“There are so many good things in this song, most of all the wobbly little riff that starts it out. a LOT like CYHSY's "Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth"”

“The short beatlesss synth workout of the original is turned into a swung disco groove complete with rolling toms. Really nice.”

“Chiming guitar chords build over a tight beat and a one-note bass throb. I can imagine it appealing to fans of old Pink Floyd instrumentals as much as to the contemporary disco of acts like Lindstrom, Mudd and Emperor Machine.”

“So good, it's hard to get past it and even listen to the rest of the album.”

“Nice acoustic piano line, sounds like someone was just riffing away in the next room while Dilla was tapping out beats. Doesn't have that electro squelch that you get with later stuff, but does have lots of good times”

Street Cred: 2786 Rec's: 88
“Classic Dilla beat that could've come off Tribe's 'The Love Movement' or De La's 'Stakes Is High'. That nice chunky bass and shimmering atmos in the background... This kind of thing is the template for so much of that instrumental head-nodding stuff that's come since...”

“Can't believe I never heard this before! Love the original. This is awesome.”

“Lovely US garage mix from the master who influenced Daft Punk and all the big names of UK 2-step. I prefer the dub for being a bit more stripped back, but both tracks are great.”
