bertil I am SO HAPPY that there is a new collaboration again !! Everything these guys release keeps reaching a higher level, and I am convinced of this with this album as well !! I am very curious about the whole album )) Thanks in advance, guys !!

TL This is criminally underrated. I wish more people would notice their chemistry because it's off the charts. Alfa and Emmavie shine on every track at every second - it's hard to find this quality of work these days but wow, they deserve all the praise for a flawless record.

monnox I like many of productions of Alpha Mist and his collaborations. And i love Gold vinli :) Favorite track: Insomnia.

Manny Alfa Mist and Emmavie are a PERFECT match and its captured in all its glory on this album. CONSTANTLY in rotation. KEEP SHINING! Favorite track: No, Don't Incomplete.

John Hunter (JJ) Masterful blending of influences. Nate Smith's composition choices are just outstanding. The harmonic work done at 1:35 in UNDEFEATED is my favorite part of a great album. Favorite track: UNDEFEATED (feat. JSWISS, Marquis Hill).

The Tonearm "[Smith's] unique approach to rhythms and drum execution blends various musical elements, smooth as coffee and cream. … The chops on display are highly diversified, and as for his music, it’s a warm and wonderful combination of all these genres."

mandr8ke So many good sounds here. Lalah with "Automatic", the wonderful harmony of saje, Lionel Loueke..good grooves and moods. Favorite track: COUGH DROP (feat. Kiefer, CARRTOONS).

VUKARI Astonishing. One of the finest things I've heard in some time. Favorite track: Fallen Angel.

cochou Cool and energetic super band. Favorite track: Cosmic Collisions.

G.E Prince A collective of musicians that connect many different areas of Jazz music. A piece can be injected with venom by the versatile drumming, or soaked up with harmonies galore and fantastic changes. Very soulful, and at times 4HERO (Two pages), sounding. This is a beautifully produced LP, and when things eventually return to normal I will be looking to see them live. Mark de Clive Lowe has pulled off yet another quality project, this time with the help of great Japanese musicians. Favorite track: Lullabies of the Lost.
