Sealed 2007 180gm. “This Brooklyn-Based Instrumental Collective Combines Slow-Burn Afro-Beat Rhythms With A '70s Soul-Jazz Aesthetic, The Latter Sound Well-Known By Those Already Familiar With The Daptone Label's Other Releases. The Retro, Almost Blaxploitation Soundtrack Groove Pushes The Predominantly Afro Style Into American Soul Territory. They Call It "Afro-Soul," Which Neatly Sums Up The Style But Doesn't Entirely Do It Justice; Only Hearing It Does. Horns And Horn Charts Dominate, Which, Because These Sessions Were Recorded Live In The Studio, Exude A Spark And Swing That Are Somewhat Ominous Yet Hypnotically Contagious.” – Hal Horowitz, AMG
