Reviews

serpico009 Feb 20, 2025
So many bangers on the Missed, Flipped & Skipped disc. I haven't listened to these CDs in probably 18 years, but alot of the songs from disc 3 have stuck with me. It's a very solid listen front-to-back, but the highlights for me would "Twice The First Time," "Peace Pt. 1," "Non Lateral Hypothesis" and the live version of "Movements."

There are a number of very high quality tracks on these 2 cd's, but most of them i find bland. the good tracks are true fusions of jazz and electronic, breaks and cinematic, all in one, the bland ones feel more constructed, totally 1 bar loops, rithm centered with not very amazing samples and probably only 1-2 chords in them.
