Customer Reviews

FFD original, smooth grooves - By: E. Archer, 28 Oct 2007
Bought this album as a friend who heard of them whilstin NZ was raving about them. I can honestly say this is the best ever album i have ever bought. The music is sssoooo original, the songs take you through a range of moods & grooves, it's just such a funky, eclectic album. Buy it...then tell your friends to buy it you will not be dissappointed!!
good roots reggae with ocassional diversion to other places - By: Mr. J. Roche, 17 Jul 2007
i have just got this album & am listening to it as i write this review.
this album is really good.
well worth a listen.
really well written & arranged songs.
interesting lyrics
good production.
nice subtle & simple horn progression that sound authentic to the genre.
nice mix with other sounds & fusion with other genres not normally associated with reggae.
fender rhodes, moog sounding synth. funk, blues & a dance music sounding track or two (but not too heavey).
good fairly soulful lead vocals & harmonies. nice arrangment of vox. well recorded. bright. clean.
sweet!!!
As a musician/producer & reggae fanatic. I really apreciate this well balanced, sweet sounding & soulfull reggae-ish.
Nice one. Keep the tracks rolling in. :-)



one of the sweetest voices i've heard in a while - By: Mr. Sa Marriott, 15 Jan 2007
this album is packed with soul full reggae & ska with hip hop to boot & many more influences i'm sure. my sister has been banging on about them since returning from a stint down under & i saw them at sonarin the summer where they got me hooked. this album is perfect to play when all else fails. i especially enjoy walking along to it, brings colour & confidence to every step of ur journey. if ur a fan u probably already have it if ur not a fan, u will be when u buy it! this room as a stand out tune & this album is never off my mp3 player. buy it, enjoy it, fallin love with his voice.
True Story - By: nosurfindurham, 26 May 2006
I love this album, it makes my subwoofer sing - the bass is so rich, deep & fluid. These guys are really quite unique, I don't know if they conform to any genre. If I had to make one up it'd be something like neo-dub-soul. Basically, they sound a bit like Slightly Stoopid but more experimental, a lot more soulful & basically they're better. The only reason I don't think this album is worth 5 stars is that all the songs are about 7 minutes long & I believe that really great songs leave you wishing they were longer. To be fair, that's probably a bit harsh, I just don't want to give 5 stars to an album unless it blows my mind. This is damn good though - excellent for bbqs. Bring on the summer.
'Background music' - By: Jessa, 20 May 2006
I strongly oppose the other reviewers' desciptions of this as 'background music' & 'easy going' - this music is beautiful, soulful & powerful with reggae, hiphop, jazz, soul & ska inluences.

Don't underestimate it! I fellin love with the album after one play & stand out tracks for me are 'Roady' & 'Dark Days'.

But this album - it is truely beautiful.
