Back in the winter of 2002 when I cobbled these tracks together in a mix titled Tiger Balm Charm (tongue twisting fun), I had recently returned from some international traveling where I got exposed to a number of dope and innovative artists including Mr. Scruff, Zero 7, Quantic, and Clifford Gilberto who are featured in this mix. I had already been rocking all forms of Madlib, Herbie since day 1, and had recently come across the ill Phil Ranelin Remixes CD (label: Hefty Records) featuring tracks by Prefuse 73, Nobody, El-P, and other heads. Friends and fam hipped me to the late, great Suba who's CD Tributo is a sure shot in the catalog.
