Deluxe reissue in digi-pack! Soul Strutters and cassette heads, this will flash you back to the good ol' days. Sequel to the original Syndromes mix, where J-Rocc gets all record nerdy, applying his mix skills to a rare, sampled tracklist that includes: Phil Ranelin, Archie Whitewater, Junior Mance, Bill Withers, Electric Prunes, Lou Donaldson, Monk Higgins, Les McCann, Ramsey Lewis, Ahmad Jamal, and others digger catch phrases. And when applicable, he throws in bits of the modern sample-using track; but in a really creative manner (like scratching "Alchoholic Vibes"; into "Vibes From the Tribe"). People just don't make crafted, finessed mixes like this anymore (did they ever?). Another one for the library. RECOMMENDED.
