The album has been prized and sampled by the hip-hop community dozens of times. It's dark and political psychedelic soul album with excellent grooves, a masterpiece which is now available again on vinyl.

She, in my opinion, is a lady of quality, grace, humanity and talent of the highest order. I love you, Bert-G."
