4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 31 Mar 2005

By A Customer

A good follow up from Primitive Plus by one of the best underground MCs around. Where as he is not quite as leftfield in this album as he was in the last, it is far more accessable to the casual listener and features some excellent guests (Mr. Lif and Insight really shine).

Doesn't quite warrant 5 stars due to some indifferent tracks and it lacks the edge that made Primitive Plus so original. Having said that, it's still miles better than 99% of the competition and he deserves to reach a wider audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hip-Hop Gold!, 9 Mar 2006

By	MR MARTIN PICKLES (Sheffield, England.) - See all my reviews

Very addictive – I don’t think there’s been a week since May 2005 when I haven’t played this kaleidoscopic hip-hop masterpiece. Edan has created a hugely enjoyable album by fusing psychedelia, 60s acid-rock, funk, hip-hop and anything interesting that comes to hand. The peerless sampling is overlaid with highly imaginative raps from Edan and four superb guest MC's. This inventive and mesmeric amalgamation is at times exhilerating, dream-like, funky and beautiful. It also rocks. For me, this was the album of 2005 and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Forget X&Y. This is the entire alphabet in technicolor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jimmy Hendrix Meets Mid Nineties Boombap on LSD, 11 April 2005

By	M. Whittam - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Wow, now this is as fresh, if not fresher, as Primitive Plus when it first came out, Edan displays the advancement of his production and rhyme skills, showing indefinite maturity and alot of progression since primitive plus, the guest appearences of Mr Lif, Insight, Dagha, Segue and of course, the legendary Percee P compliment the tracks more than enough, adding that little bit of extra depth to give this album the edge in hip hop. Im pushing Beauty and The Beat for the Hip Hop album of 2005. Nuff said.
