Some first listen reactions:

Thundercat's brother. This, like Miles Mosley's record (though this is better), is disappointing coming from a member of the west coast get down. I'm not saying they all have to set out to make spiritual jazz The Epic tracks, but the R&B stuff, which dominates the majority of the LP is kind of just middle of the road. He doesn't have that good of a voice either and the lyrics aren't good, though there are some nice grooves there. That said, the longer instrumental tracks, "Geome Denome", "Chicks Web" and "Open The Gate" where the band really goes in, are fantasitc.
