A rare breed - good rap! November 15, 2007
Great album. If you like good music, rap and sampling then you will like this album (or you are wrong). While not quite good enough to ascend to the level of Avalanches (Since I Left You) and Pepe Deluxe (Spare Time Machine), it is definitely just as enjoyable. A great album with great songs. Check out the music video for You are Never Alone on youtube! The bottom line is that a Jewish Canadian makes better rap than you will EVER hear on MTV.
Check It Out! November 10, 2007
Brilliant! Portished meets Gorillaz while both on acid at a barmitzvah! Really quite perfect...highly recommended if you like cleverly blended samples, genius beats and beautifully delivered (and sometimes sarcastically wry) vocals.

This is an extremely well-crafted album. I first discovered it through YouTube's hosted video for "You Are Never Alone," in which the artist (who provides no vocals for this track) symbolically mechanically replaces body parts with those of the actual performers. I ordered the album (through not through Amazon) before it even finished playing. The music -- hiphop and ethnic fusion, with heavy influences from Jewish folk music -- is too dissimilar from anything I know well to adequately summarize, but bears an attention to detail that doesn't detract from its grander sweep. In discussing it with friends, I've compared it to Gorillaz, but only for lack of a better analogy. ...As a last note, something I find personally amusing: "You Are Never Alone" has a (deliberate) Western-ish feel, similar to Mirah (another Jewish artist)'s "Cold Cold Water". I blame Kinky Freidman.
