Four and a half stars, actually.......2003-03-19

If Amazon would let me rate this four and a half, I would. But anyway, I was a fan of Fat Jon's for a long time (owned and listened to both of his instrumentals albums on a regular basis) and I knew about this album but for some stubborn reason, I just slept on it. Well, after finding myself with some extra cash just begging to be spent on new music, I finally picked this up. It's fantastic. I've been a hip hop fan for over ten years now and this is one of the most ambitious hip hop records I've ever heard (think Endtroducing or Buhloone Mindstate). I've been going through a phase recently where hip hop just doesn't sound as good to me as it used to but after hearing this album, my faith has been restored. I know that's kind of a corny thing to say, but it's true. It's an infinitely refreshing record but it still keeps that edgy experiemental vibe throughout. It's not overly experimental to the point where you start to wonder if you're still listening to a hip hop record or not, but it definitely does not sound like a lot of other recent records coming out these days. It still retains that boom bap on the block feel while injecting hints of world and electronic music; not to mention a huge jazz influence that is excuted and carried out rather than hinted at (like a lot of hip hop producers tend to do). Ok, now I'm babbling. But anyway, if you're still sleeping like I was, stop. This is a deeply spiritual, meaningful, interesting, engaging and just downright amazing record. It's a well concocted hip hop masterpiece in an era when they are becoming more and more scarce. Highly recommended.

COOL is definitely the word.......2002-04-11

Looking for a flat-out fresh hip-hop sound to put your lover in the mood, turn your fronting coffee-house art rock friends green with envy, and make you feel cool while driving around town? Look no further.

Fat Jon is rapidly becoming a name DJ and this album is the main reason he deserves to be. The jazz/funk inflected sound he has developed is hard to describe but easy to recognize. It's like nothing else out there. It breaks with the Soulquarian sound perfected by ?uestolve of the Roots, Black Star, Common, etc. Don't get me wrong, I love all that, but this is going in a different and fresher direction. It's not clearly influenced by any previous artist (unlike the groups above, which are all clearly rooted in Tribe Called Quest and similar early 90s groups). The sound is expansive, with lots of floating bass lines and spacy drums. It's not as hard as music by the Roots, where it seems like every voice and instrument is one inch from a mic. This is more laid back and a little more classy--coffee house rap, but in a really good way.

The rhymes on the album are decent too but to be honest I don't listen that hard. I'm too busy driving around town, grooving to the tracks, feeling like a bad, bad man.

Another bullet in the chamber of the new revamped sound of hiphop and its a banger.Fat Jon is proving to be one of the preimier(no pun intended)..emerging producers today.Lyrically its got an old school feel to it..loose and laid back, and lots of fun to listen to.But i think that what sets it apart from the pack is its experimental nature..like ZionIs joint, its more than just a "rap" album, it trancends and goes beyond,like any good album should try to do

Amazing.......2002-01-09

Easily one of the best albums I've heard in years. This album is crammed full of MUSIC from start to finish. To corner this album as hip-hip only does it no justice. Yes, there are killer beats and some of the smartest rhymes I've heard anywhere but every track flows together like a urban symphony. I could listen to this whole album over and over and over and never get tired of it. If you don't have this album, GET IT! This album shows you what hip-hop can really achieve.

Five dees, koolmotor one of the best of the year. I would give it 4.5 stars if Amazon let me.Kool Motor has tight philosiphical lyrics over head nodding hypnotic beats. Fat Jon got the ill production and pase and company hold their own on the mic. This album is almost perfect. If you liked last years ep you will love this.Take it from a subterranean hip hop expert # 1 d.j. Peace and love!!!

A nice smooth instumental cd, definately a hit since Fat Jon helped with the album

Dream Ride of Sound.......2004-11-15

The original album and this, the instrumentals, take me back to high school and it adds to the many albums and songs that take up a part in my lifes soundtrack. Some people listen to stuff and say "oh yeah that was hot" and forget about it, but some say i can still remember where i was or how old i was when a certain album came into your life. This is defintitly one of those. Five Deez which is another talented hip hop group out of Cincinnati, delivers a massive ride of effects and perfectly sampled sounds. The producer Fat Jon who has worked with many other great acts puts together one the most best sounding albums of the year. "Decapitated Orgasms" is an amazing trip on piano samples and horn cuts, " B.E.A.T." is a display of perfect procussion, the symbols are flawless, and the keyboard adds a deep peaceful dreamy sound to it. "possibly" is a sort of lounge type of track with amzing keyboards and bongos that add a funkier effect, it definitley has a faster pace to it than the rest. Also check out "Afghanistan Dan's Skating Stand", its unbelievable. Please pick this or the original with voacls up if you like any electronic music at all. One.....
