PlayItLoud! This album is like religion; you have a strong belief that something like this exists. But the lack of it for years makes you wonder if it's worth all the effort of searching and hoping. But then, like a thunderstruck, it appears right in your face. Thank God for this album, I can continue to keep my faith in music for another year or 2.....I really feel intens happiness right now. Favorite track: Halls.

Vik Srinivasan Absolutely LOVE the collaboration between the London and Chicago folks here. You can truly feel the energy in every track. Favorite track: Ox Tales.

ERIC MUNCH PARIS It’s just the music i’ve been waiting for, live music is defitively the place where the music Really happen, and remixed and arranged it become something beautiful
