From The Dusty Groove site: Massively messed-up grooves -- and a rare one-off collaboration between Money Mark, Shawn Lee, and Tommy Guerrero -- all artists we've come to love for their own funky music over the years! The sound here is as wild as you'd expect from the cover -- a really trippy approach to funk -- spun out with the same heavy grooves you'd get on some of Lee's funk sets for Ubiquity, mixed with the offbeat production modes that Money Mark brought to his early Mo Wax recordings! There's a definite dose of psyche on most tracks -- showing the increasing influence from this end of the spectrum on 21st Century beatheads -- and the fuzzier edges make for a nice change amidst Lee's usually cleaner grooves. Some vocals appear on the album, but often buried down deeply in the instrumental mix -- leaving most of the album's charm to come from fuzzy guitar, trippy keyboards, and heavy beats!

dope! what's is up with clutchy hopkins? is that like an alias for dante carfagna or something?
It may well be.
I'm digging it, thanks for the tip. Though I have to confess between the label and the cover I was digging it a little before I even heard it.
