    1992's "Connected" was the big album for Rob B & company, better known as the Stereo MC's. The funky and upbeat atmosphere never leaves the party during the 56 minutes of play.
    This delicious catchy album has soul written all over it, with killer grooves & beats, as well as very cool singing & rapping with a delicious British accent.

    The intro of "Connected" is already enough to "elevate your mind" (here's your "Supernatural" reference) to a universe filled with dance, recklessness and joyful vibes.
    I especially fell in love immediately with the oldschool keyboards of "Ground Level", the laidback ambiance of "Sketch" and the entertaining breakbeat of "Creation".

    When it comes to funky and soulful hip-hop, there's not that much artists that comes close to the Stereo MC's in catchiness, intelligence and studio arrangement. "Connected" will definitely fit the bill if you need music to cruise down the highway during a roadtrip.

    Disconnect your mind from work, connect your speakers and let your connected neurons send dance moves messages to your body.

    I really ire this LP that I discovered too late, yet I still consider "Deep Down & Dirty" my favorite LP from theirs by a very small margin.
