The entire LP is a fecund source for killer breaks and samples, but simply dismantling this music for spare parts is a disservice to artist and listener alike -- Brooks is a gifted composer with a knack for melody as well as groove, and while Windows of the Mind delivers on the physical promise of funk, it meets the intellectual demands of jazz as well. ~ Jason Ankeny\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Rockin Julius\u003cbr\u003e2.Cooling It\u003cbr\u003e3.The Jagged Edge\u003cbr\u003e4.The Speech Maker\u003cbr\u003e5.Black Flag\u003cbr\u003e6.Good News Blues\u003cbr\u003e7.Shetter Cheeze\u003cbr\u003e8.C.P.
