I bought this for the Mad Professor remix album. The remix album of Protection was so excellent i was expecting great thins of this one as well. How ever as is so often the case that such a great album sets you up for disappointments, which this one was. I was happy with a few tracks but the album doesn’t quite hold together as an entity.
