Michael Paradinas' second album under the Jake Slazenger alias is much more subdued than the usual techno-racket µ-Ziq is known for. Most of the first Slazenger album explored early-'80s electro -- that's all here as well (and it sounds just as dated) -- but several of the tracks go much farther back in time as a springboard for some mad keyboard vamps. "Supafunk" could have been lifted from a Jimmy Smith album of the '60s and "Hot Fumes" keys off blaxploitation funk. It makes one wonder whether an artist can be experimental and enjoyable when using all this cringe-worthy synth, but in the end, Paradinas pulls it off. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
