Mindstate (Shades of Culture album)

The Gazette wrote that "Shades venture into some jazz-tinged territory, Jamaican places, sparse rhythm beds and cocktail lounges, with contributions from 'hood heroes like champion turntablist A-Trak and Dubmatique's DJ Choice."^[3]

AllMusic called the album "an uplifting, lyrically vibrant offering that employs turntable scratching and human beat box techniques laid over a foundation of rich instrumentation."^[2]
