TheJudge 30th Sep 2020		I've finally got around to buying this, and let me tell you that it's an astounding album! A variety of styles played and produced to bring out the best in some high-quality material. I'm going through his back catalogue on YouTube at the moment, and there are at least two other albums which I'll probably be buying soon; he's a most remarkable artist.
