by Billy WoodsI'm very thankful for that fact that Backwoodz Studioz decided to re-release this album. It's considered to be Billy Wood's debut, even though he goes to some length in the liner notes to credit it as a collaboration with Bond and Vodul Megallah, who appears on a number of tracks.
It definitely sounds like a Bond album - even the tracks he didn't produce have that recognizable feel, with random samples, and a dirge-like quality to the music.
Woods sounds fantastic here - all of the clever wordplay and literary references he's known for are present, and songs like 'Amazing Grace' are perfect exemplars of his talent. Vordul provides a nice counterpoint to Wood's flow, as does Thrill Gates, who also shows up for a couple of tracks.
