Tim Cashmere Buddhist rapper Maxi Jazz never manages to get boring as he raps about political and social issues that directly relate to a specific time (A`la 'Mass Destruction':- "Weather a Caucasian or a poor Asian, racism is a weapon of mass destruction!") yet still transcend time. With Sister Bliss on the keyboards and basically the musical mastermind behind the group, her years of experience in the UK's dance clubs shine through. 'I Want More' part one and two are straight out dance music, while 'Love Lives On My Street' is back to the poetry being the main focus. Okay, so the album isn't perfect, the paired 'Sweep' and 'Miss U Less, See U More' do drag on more than just a little bit. To their credit however, often when you begin to think the group are dragging on, you'll be pleasantly surprised to hear it was simply an excessively long buildup. The album blasts through some electrifying moments and some chilled out beats. At times you might not even recognize the group as Faithless, but you'll certainly recognize it as great. And
to take you out, just in case you hadn't had enough, there is 'Mass
Destruction' again, this time remixed by P*Nut and Sister Bliss. Unless
you're a club junkie, it has nothing on the original however.
