I got a promo a month or so back, and while the production is wonderful,
the album is basically crap except for a nice ambient track near the end.
Lots of pretentious voiceovers by John Hurt, Rakim sounding foolish
rapping about Debussy and Beaudelaire, horrible car commericial jungle
beats - bleah. 

The instrumental version of Roni Size's mix on the "Metaforce" single is
OK, though.
