    I haven't checked this yet, but am glad to hear that someone out there
    thinks it's great, because I'm pretty hyped for it! (It hasn't got local
    release where I am yet) I think the whole soulquarian crew that seems to
    be forming loosely around the roots/dangelo/common/etc ... ie those
    represented at okayplayer.com .... are on to some interesting shit at the
    moment. the two roots albums from last year were great, and for me the
    d'angelo stuff is cool.

    I did notice that the roots remixed a femi kuti track from shoki shoki.
    Has anyone heard this yet? I'm curious about how they are approaching
    remixing, as opposed to making their own tracks.
