I canot agree with it at all. The truth is that... 'Music Is Rotted...' - is just a direct name for this album, it is as shitty as hell, poor attempt to be new Miles Davis. Anyone willing to buy it in mint condition? 'Budakhan Mindphone' - is a breath of new air for him, he finally found what he was going to become. 'Maximum Priest' is just excellent release in his new music outfit. Great music from all angles - from jazz and drum&bass ones. 'Selection Sixteen' I anticipate to receive and hope it'll be at least as good as 'Maximum Priest'. Alien commenting.... P.S. Anyone not shaing this opinion please do not mail reply to this message. It's useless.
