Is it THE Idris Muhammed album to buy? Probably not, but it's still pretty great. Opening track is fun and upbeat, if not a tad cheesy... but has a fantastic drum break (great drums throughout obviously). See Saw has a laidback but deep, intense groove. You could get away with playing "Big Foot" too at the right time and place. You won't regret getting this one.

Does anyone know if the mastering on Wounded Bird CD is any good? (as in little compression and with good dynamics?) It has been so long due a CD release it would be a shame to bodge this up
