Beautiful album. The way he uses his words and tells stories throughout these songs is amazing. It's clear that he was very influential to a lot of early hip-hop/rap artists and continues to be now. 'Pieces of a Man' is a beautiful song with amazing storytelling. Next to the title track, my favorite track is 'Lady Day and John Coltrane'.

This album is another hidden treasure. I'm in love with the jazz fusion / psychedelic mix of sounds in this LP. Favorite track: Akwaaba.
Too bad the digital remaster got taken off of Spotify recently.

Such a hidden treasure of an album. Love all of the switch-ups, solos, and progressions. My favorite tracks are 'Totem' and 'Pieces: Tombo / La Escuela / Tombo / The Last Goodbye'. This album really takes you on a journey with every single song, and there's never a moment where it gets predictable or boring.

When I first listened to this album, it changed my perception of music and music production. Now, 7 years later, I still struggle to imagine how some of these soundscapes and sound effects were even created. This will always be one of my favorite albums.
