This release, IMO anyway, was miles ahead of Leftism in a number of ways. As stated, it's mixed in a certain way that the tracks flow like a stream through the album, without actually bieng layered. This album was sooo ahead of it's time, people even today don't seem to like it. At 7 years old the tracks don't sound dated and probably never will. You have a bit of everything on this one, some banging tunes, some downtempo, and even some lyrical moments too, a classic.
Rated 5/5

Unlike the CD, this release has the distinct advantage of having all tracks unmixed. "Dub Gussett", "Swords", and "6/8 War" are all *slightly* longer since they contain the proper intro and outro. The 2x12" version of this release still mixes "6/8 War" into "Rino's Prayer".

Another masterpiece from Neil Barnes and Paul Daley: more terse and concise than 'Leftism', nevertheless it includes great tracks like 'Afrika Shox' (with rap legend Afrika Bambaataa) and the techno-dub rhythm of '6/8 War'.

To be honest this record was a massive disappointment. Without any of the hooks of Leftism it seems devoid of tunes to make the beats more interesting. Phat Planet aside there is nothing remarkable on here and by the number that litter second hand shops rarely listened to.

This appears to identical in every respect except Cat No. to "Rhythm And Stealth: Stealth Remixes" (HANDCD4X) which was also a limited edition.

If adding this to your collection - check you get the right one :)
