"The idea behind the Visioneers is fucking awesome - started by Marc Mac (of 4hero, look them up if you don't know), it's a bunch of UK studio musicians paying homage to their favorite U.S. hip-hop producers such as Jay Dee and DJ Premier. In effect, these guys "resample" their samples, turning them into extended instrumentals. They have a really sweet organic jazzy sound - the drumming in particular is too dope. Great to work/chill to."

Thanks to Die, Shadow Man, Die for this!!

Didn't have a chance to check this out in its entirely yet, but from what I heard; it's great!

edit: I told you guys this is a project by The Notwist, but it isn't. My source said it was, but now I see that info belongs to the album above this, so my apologies for the wrong information.
