​"2011's most un-hyped rap release has arrived" - finally in my postbox and crates too ... "It's by a group so under-the-radar that even its record label, All City, or the photographer who shot the mysterious image on its album's cover, Sue Kwon, have no idea who the two people in it are - other than that the duo once went by the name "The Midnight Eez" and claimed a home base somewhere deep in the Bronx." (the village voice, sound of the city)

Follow the village voice link. A very good statement to which there is nothing much to add; about this release, it being a "fond reminder of the wholesome joy of putting faith in the music" back then and the situation of being recognized as an artist or not ...

What I can most definitely say after listening to it several times is this: a very solid and emotionally varying - 30 minutes long - journey through 14 (very well remastered) instrumentals produced by "The Midnight Eez" between 1995 and 1996. A comment i made about one track called "night walk" earlier this week: "in a state of inner peace while listening to this". And I have nothing more to say than that. Very much recommended this one and - on top - it comes for a veeeery reasonable price. As long as supplies last i suppose!

Thank you All-City for digging this one out and making it affordable for anyone buying records and trying to support artists.
