Here is a review from GlobalBeatFusion.com of the album:
"
If the world can’t go to Brooklyn, the borough covers the world on
Endangered Species (Wonderwheel, Sept 5). Six years deep in his infamous
Turntables on the Hudson parties, DJ/producer Nickodemus applies the
gritty earth tones of pavement and industry to an uplifting landscape of
African, Latin, Balkan and Arabic vibes. The key is the warm bass tones
he summons from the depths of his digital soul, adding layer upon layer
of sonic depth. Si*Se’s Carol C. appears on the now-classic "Cleopatra
in New York" while local hip-hoppers Real Live Show cut it raw with
"Funky in the Middle." Radio Mundial vocalist Jean Shepherd helps Nick
pass the "Peace Pipe," backed by his magnificent cuatro playing, and the
album closes with a gorgeous vocal performance by Andrea Monteiro on the
wide-eyed "Mystery of Life." The 8-minute Balkan-inspired "Crazy
Stranger" takes a deadly percussive loop and knots it around, up and
down and inside you, the place where Nickodemus dwells most.
