"When local beat poet Barry Barnes and The Reverend MC Bakerbop put their spin on..."Compared To What"...they change the name to "Make It Real" because the tune is so heavily renovated. It doesn't lose its protestant fervor or its catchy flavor - if anything it is even more strident and demanding than the original...Among other tidbits it includes an interesting rework of "The Age of Aquarius" from the rock opera HAIR called "New Age Imperialist"...The closing number on the CD is a tune that showcases Barnes' unique style of poetry in a musical setting called "Are You Ready for the War?" "Wake up people! We've been sleepin' again!" is the rally cry and we are taken on an almost Gorillaz-like ride across a tonal suburban landscape layered over by Barnes' voice...The bass playing by Astrid McMullen-Baker throughout the recording is an artistic treat second only to the excellent artwork. I recommend you buy it and enjoy it today!"
