Muneshine - Opportunity Knocks mp3 album

This debut album is nothing short of incredible. Muneshine has picked beatsmiths that perfectly suit his style and flow. M-Phazes, Illmind, Saint, Presto, Spinna and Pete Rock all contribute brilliantly to this release, as do the supporting cast of emcees, most notably Raks One (Emilio Rojas) and Supastition. Muneshine's gruff delivery is also complemented greatly by the boom-bap sound of all the producers. The album is extremely cohesive as a whole, no doubt due to the familiarity of the Wax Reform members with each other. It's very hard to pick a favourite here, as most of the tracks are gems, but I would have to go with "Overdrive", "The Sun Goes Down", and "Imagine That". The latter contains a duo with none other than Pete Rock, who blessed Mune with one of his signature beats, and contains refreshing subject matter. The only gripe I have with the LP is the "Aight...Chill (Interlude)", which breaks up the cohesiveness of the album with almost 7 minutes of phone skits, however, it barely detracts from this spectacular effort. Also, the fact that the LP is packaged with an instrumental disc of all the tracks is a treat. If you see this album, buy it. You won't be disappointed. I was lucky to find a copy at Play de Record in Toronto. 5 out of 5. "Peace, Love, all of the above, Imagine That..."
