A corner stone album of what makes me, me! This was my first ever introduction to Fred as a solo artist and I have never listened to an album that sucked me into his world and showed me every corner of his emotions as much as this. The way he creates this world of his own that has such depth and energy but also manages to create these intricate tracks that sample with such respect is entirely beyond my comprehension. After hearing this album, I wanted to be immersed into more of it! And with following releases AL2 and AL3, he did not disappoint in any way.
