What a powerful release. More tribal, more rhythm-driven than previous albums, with some amazing dancehall and dubstep rollers, and brilliant production.

"Lost Luggage" is definitely one of the best Deadbeats tunes ever, gives me shivers... I was very happy to discover that "Journeymans Annual" sounds completely different than "Random Brown", Deadbeats last EP. Not that I dont like it, but its not even half as mesmerizing as his distinctive blend of dub and electronica.

Some people may consider it "overproduced", but hey - having seen what happened to Coldcut, DJ Shadow or Bonobo, I have only one thing to say: RESPECT Mr Monteigh. Great work.
