Time

"Poet Anthony Joseph's excellent fifth album is suffused with female influences: not only is it produced by Meshell Ndegeocello, who threads percussion-based grooves around Joseph's allusive, tightly wrought lyrics, but the tracks are mostly about women ... Echoes of Gil Scott-Heron and Curtis Mayfield can be heard in commentaries like "Hustle to Live" and "Kezi", while the opening "Time - Archaeology" recalls The Last Poets, with an itchy percussion and organ groove".

"This encounter between Anglo-Trinidadian poet Joseph and New York bassist Meshell Ndegeocello comes off without compromise ... The playing is terrific, a torrent of rhythms and pulses to match the "time" theme, while Joseph's punchy cameos and narratives, drawn globally, come with the lovely, lyrical Joy amid them. Classy work".
