Wonderful record! The ping pong panning effect is a bit unsettling but it’s a great album to have. 10/10

Perfect sounding record, clean and flat only 500 made.
No complain, well done HHV.DE

Love this fusion jazz and hip-hop music. A great album and the sound is excellent.
My records are playing fine. No warpage. No pops or crackles. Good sound quality. Instruments sound crisp and clear
No skipping or warping on my copy. A great listen and a must have for any hip-hop/jazz fan.

No other releases to compare this to but this KG cut sounds fantastic - lots of gorgeous top end detail while retaining enough low end oomph for that signature madlib sound. Easy rec for any music/vinyl enthusiast.

Great music, but can anyone explain why you should listen to this on vinyl? This stuff is all sampled and digitalized..what am I missing here?- Overall, mix is good.
My copy, which was brand new, have some issues: press is not centered, and it is little warped, making tracks skip on different places. This seems to be a common issue with Optimal Media GmbH manufactered records.

A truly horrendous record. Nothing to do with the typical jazz audiophile Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series. You don't need to press everything to do business. AVOID AVOID AVOID
