Now we're getting down to the nitty-gritty. This platter is one of the hundreds... maybe thousands that surfaced during the independent revolution of the mid-nineties, and did so virtually out of nowhere. Every week there would be a gripful of lovely new 12" singles to sift through. DJ's hip-hop vinyl stacks started to grow ever-closer to their bedroom ceilings. It was almost too much to keep up with.

And the best part: Almost all of it was funky funky noise.

Sic Sense, like most of their fellow revolutionaries, never did much beyond this release. And, again like most of their peers, the hip-hop world is surely worse for it. While not the most memorable or even skillful on the mic, these guys give you enough to be satisfied while not detracting from the overall vibe of the music. Production is typical snare-heavy, jazzy riffy stuff from the era, but is a thick notch above the average demo thanks to its deep, vibey slant. Toss it on and be transported back a decade(yikes!) or so.
