I've been a fan of Roots Manuva for a while but it only took me one listen to be sure this is the best thing he's ever done. It hasn't been off my stereo since. If you like hip-hop you need this record.

As far as I'm concerned, "Witness" is THE British hip hop anthem; a razor blade-ripped cyclone of a track, ideal for Roots Manuva to rap about beans on toast over (yes, it's that lyrical reference again). The rest varies from quite good to good. "Ital Visions" and "Evil Rabbit" predate Burial by a good five years when it comes to transferring the atmosphere of a rain-soaked London night into sound; in fact, save for the intro, the whole 60 minutes is loaded with heaviness, with mechanical clicks, robosynths and even the occasional sample (there's like 2 on the whole record...), with a sound not unlike Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein. Like that album, of course, this also should've been condensed, but I applaud Manuva for choosing such a threatening ... Read More:

To begin with, let me be clear that I am no fan of rap for its own sake (as an art form, I feel it has yet to mature). But it should be obvious to any music fan that a record of any genre can cross boundaries. And this is precisely what this album does. I am astounded that AllMusic rated it as Manuva's lowest-scoring effort, because it's a true eye (or do I mean 'ear'?) opener. Roots' preference for zero reverb may make the sound an acquired taste for novices, but that is purely a matter of what one is used to: he manages to craft beautiful music nonetheless. To my mind, this is the perfect hard-hitting pop album, without sacrificing artistic integrity; and his finest lyrical effort to date. He has something to say, yet avoids the cliches of the form. ...

This is definitely one of the most original albums produced in the history of UK urban music and for this reason I don't think it received the wider exposure it deserved. It's an comforting deep bassy sound, which is almost unique in my experience, one which completely mesmerized me 8 years ago, and still does today. I don't think he ever really improved on this personally, though others may feel the album is a bit disjointed. I have to say the second track 'dem phonies' does my head in and is probably worth 1 star at best, but the rest is fantastic, especially 'Inna', 'Strange Behaviour', 'Motion 5000' and 'Oh yeah'. It's getting on a bit now, but classics never really age and this certainly hasn't. It will always be one of my favourite albums by one of ... Read More:

If you do not know about roots manuva and are a fan of the usual late night / back to mine series then you may not like this. If you know roots manuva and/or wish to have your eyes opened to something new and different then you could do much worse than get this album. Like everything the guy does it keeps you on your toes and always gives you something a bit new, a bit different. No well oiled formulas here just some music that you would love (Night Clubing by Grace Jones is fantastic) and some that you may not rush to play again (not such a big fan of going back to cali by LL Cool J) but always good music.
