Just heard a profile on this guy on NPR... the samples sounded very cool, if a little dated. Still, I should check this out. Sounds like a very cool guy, too. I love it that he's a legend in Australia and South Africa, yet works construction jobs in Detroit and is just fine with that.

Thanks, y'all.

Just know what I heard on the radio. I don't live in Australia.
Did you listen to the story at the link?

Hadn't seen much mention of this in a bit, but man it's really good. I was putting together my list of 2008 top 20 contenders and almost forgot about it, so I figured others might've done the same.

Give it another spin. Damn solid.

Chad - you realize it was originally released in the early 70's right?

Great album though.

Yep. Its re-release is what's gotten it all the attention this year and (I think) would qualify it for '08 consideration.

Either way; great stuff.

Just saw this in one of Billy G's old "NP's".
How does it stack up against Cold Fact?
