Over it\'s nineteen tracks the album features twelve different guest vocalists (from rappers to reggae toasters, from r\'n\'b to ragtime singers) in a multi-era pop electronic mash-up. Songs to note are \"Da Riddim Griffin\" (with vocals by actress Caryn Green, MC Shankhini, and the Tokyo GoGo! Cheergirl Team), \"Dirty Liar\" (like the Chemical Brothers meet O Brother), \"Make Me Shake\" (poptronica a la Fergie), the haunting \"Coal Coal Black\" (dub meets blues), and \"Scarborough Fair (A True Dub of Mine)\" (imagine Simon & Garfunkel as done by the Mad Professor).
