 Well, just a bit behind these heavyweights there are realities, alas often forgotten, but often just as deserving or almost: besides Fishbone (run to listen to the double "The Reality Of My Surroundings"), another name to rediscover is that of Urban Dance Squad, a Dutch band, among the pioneers of the scene (and among the first to include a DJ in their lineup), active since 1986 and with this album delivers their masterpiece.
