Tony’s cosmic Mellotron comes on like galactic fog while Phil and Mike’s jittery syncopation sets the stage for Peter’s elysian and glorious babble … uh, lyrics 😏

Released in ‘87, this album is in my top 10 all-time rap albums. The MC is calculated and precise with his lyrics, and his smooth delivery sits directly on the DJ’s groove.
