Album Notes

Comprised of Vintage and Sadler, Self Taught came out of a lengthy retirement in 2002 due to increasing demand from a variety of musical, political, and religious sources. During their hiatus at The Sun Valley Senior Assisted Living and Retirement home they were pampered with apple sauce, dance classes, music lessons, and history courses.

The Vancouver duo checked out in 2002 and has worked steadily for the past five years on an assortment of material with a mixture of many talented artists.

Several years of experimenting with various genres resulted in the unification of various aspects of hip hop, rock, jazz, blues, punk, and electronic to create the Self Taught sound.

No boundaries, limits or borders is the attitude taken into every Self Taught album. This diversity is emphasized on their latest magnum opus, Arrival. The 2007 release creates an unparalleled listening experience that continually grabs the attention of the listener.

Arrival is a complete listening experience, an epic of sorts, a must have cd, not only for fans of hip hop, but for fans of music.

I can remember the first time i heard self taught, back in the myspace glory days where every day at least 15 shitty musicians would try to be your friend. Well i took a chance with self taught and it has been the best decision ive made in my entire digitial life hands down. An album for the ages. pick it up right now. Seriously a breath of fresh air for hip hop music. It is an album that to this day i continue to listen to and get the same enjoyment from it that i did the day i bought it. do yourself a favor and BUY THIS NOW!!! and on top of 5 stars this album deserves 5 mics

Having listened to their singles from time to time, I knew that buying Self Taught's first album was the natural transition for me; and I couldn't have made a better decision. Every track is killer and gets full credit for originality. You won't regret taking this CD home with you!

Truthful, unique and balmy for the soul...with just the right amount of grit.

A CD such as this one is a rare jem. An easy listen that I can put on anytime and not feel the need to skip over half of the tracks. An 'easy listen' Self Taught is...but in the best way possible. Not the sort of easy listening that you would normally except from music described as such. There is much depth lyrically which gets accross to the listener by way of their easy breezy flow. Each track is richly detailed with different sounds that are all unique and pleasing. Like any great album, there is no shortage of description or accolades that I could fill this review with. I could go into the details of each and every track (particularly happy to do so with Ball & Chain), but instead I will get to the part that everyone wants to know: is it a good listen? It is a deep, interesting and honest listen which I will be diving into regularily because of the ease it brings along with its depth.
