this album features 80 glorious minutes of some of gil scott heron's best songs from 1971-1982. the songs work together well, despite different recording eras, subjects and styles - varying between reggae, folk, soul and r&amp;b. his voice is such a gorgeous and powerful instrument that you find yourself glued to the spot listening to his strident raps about watergate, ronald reagan, the rise of consumerism and so on. interspersed between diatribe songs like 'the revolution will not be televised' and 'b movie' are the most incredibly groovy songs like 'home is where the hatred is', 'blue collar' and 'lady day'.
