Absolutely incredible work here, and the vinyl was pressed immaculately. Every sound and not is so sharp and concise!

Ain't no other way to really say it baby you gotta stay
CosmicDeepEpicEsotericThis is beats taken to the level of high art. This album runs deep as the ocean for all 26 songs. Inevitable comparisons to J Dilla and Madlib will follow us newcomers to Knxwledge. But the mans track record runs deep as it turns out. And who would complain about too much music that reminded them of Lib and Dilla? Personally I enjoy this album front to back more often than I throw them on. With Dilla and Madlib their musical vocabulary is so damn deep that is almost challenging (in the most glorious and intense way possible). But with Knxwledge there is a consistent melody that I can hold on to. That's not to say his music is simple, on the contrary, the constant exchange between one pattern and another are just absurd. It may melt your face.PSVinyl pressing is to die for. That wicked cover art looks much better enlarged and brighter. PLUS! A whole side of unreleased and unavailable music for us. And the always welcome Mp3 download card.

Reminds me of a little mix of Dilla, Flylo and Mablib which there is no higher praise

Good Album! The vinyl version is the real full album.
First time purchasing vinyl from Amazon. Packaged well. Perfect condition.Great album for the most part. Knxwledge's only good project worth listening to. Everything else he's done is mediocre and boring.I think getting the vinyl version is the way to go, cause this is actually the full album. All other media versions you are only getting 3/4 of the album. That last 1/4th of the album completes the Donut (Dilla reference, you'll know what I mean when/if you hear Dilla's Donuts and the rest of this album).As far as the additional D side, there is some gems in there, there is also some of Knxwledge's weirdest beats with odd time signatures, drums and percussion that's really off, but still kinda "works". Just an odd and enjoyable mixture of great, weird, and sometimes wack beats.
