Irvine, an extremely talented multi-instrumentalist and composer, had a musical vision that was purposeful, spiritual and funky. A kind of musical compendium documenting the thought patterns and belief systems of the early '70s, it nevertheless surprises with an astonishing vitality and timelessness thanks to radiant funk grooves that anticipate the emergence of acid jazz.\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIrvine also speaks-sings his way across several tracks, solidifying his influence on subsequent generations of hip-hop.
