Goddamnit, if you don't think this album is classic YOU'RE FUCKING WRONG

It's the personal, sort of optimistic twin to Riot IMO. It's an album I want to make the whole world listen to and then I want them to fill out questionnaires about it and if I think you don't get its greatness, you'll listen again and again. Because its beautiful and sad and happy and funky and weird and that goddamn BASS and those fucking DRUMS man.

Their best album.

Eno otm about the centrality of the rhythm. Another Green World's "Over Fire Island" sounds like a product of this album.

My favourite Sly. Especially (as I've doubtless said already in this thread) the later mix that Sony accidentally pressed on CD in 91.

You are all right. And we need a deluxe 2cd version with both mixes and whatever else they can find. I'd pay for a third disc of just isolated drum and bass tracks.

I'd be happy if someone just pressed that alt mix on vinyl
