i have to agree. i really like nearly everything he's done without
hating a single track, but this new stuff it seems like everytime
i listen through the album there's a new track on it that stands
out to me. and on the single for "silence in the secret garden"
there are 2 b sides that arent on the LP and theyre both really
good as well. the next time i spin records i think my set is going
to devolve into a moodymann/amp fiddler megamix.

it definitely takes in alot of techno influence and does things
with it that no one else is really doing. "on my way home" sounds
almost like a rob hood/kdj collabo. im FEELING it.
