Overall the treatment is effictive. The remix sounds like what the original should’ve sounded like. Plus it has a dj friendly intro and outro. Bonus! I [...]

Towards the end of last year Jacob Israel brought out his 3rd album. I enjoyed it immensly and it also recieved positive feedback from many others. However, since it was a limited run it was inevitable that not everyone who wanted a copy got one, but now thanks in part to the awesome power of [...]
