"Two winners on one piece of wax (well, for me CD-R). Antibalas come correct with their take on Sly Stone's "Family Affair" and it just sounds soooo f'kin good. Perfect choice from an amazing band. On the flip, Psyco drop the bomb with "Mr President" listen and learn they tell we. Brilliant. Charted & Play listed."

"Back to da roots indeed and what roots by the way. Thanks to Afro-beat champions Antibalas for their rendition of Sly Stone's classic 'Family Affair' deliciously cooked by Doctor L at the command. A cut dubbed with 'Mr President' (nothing to do with Martin Solveig's track of the likes), an incredible Afro tinged song fuelled with electro & jazzy elements which should reach the favours of people such as Ron Trent, Joe Claussell, François K and Paul Murphy to name but a few (Mind Records & Service)."
