Temporarily Disconnected

Temporarily Disconnected is the fourth album from rap/metal/funk pioneers 24-7 Spyz. It features the reunion of the band's classic lineup, including mainstays Jimi Hazel and Rick Skatore along with the return of vocalist P. Fluid (now using his proper last name, Forrest) and drummer Anthony Johnson. The reunion and subsequent album were based on the lingering popularity of this particular lineup in Europe (where it was released exclusively) following the breakup of Strength in Numbers lineup.

Musically, the album was seen by many critics, fans and even some band members as a step backwards from the focused effort of Strength in Numbers. Once again, problems between P. Fluid and the rest of the band came to a head following a 1995 European tour, with Fluid and Johnson exiting the band again shortly thereafter.

Like many 24-7 Spyz albums, this recording is out of print. However, the album is available through iTunes.

gollark: If it was just a disk with the radius of the moon, you would probably only break local (continent-wide) weather completely for quite a while and cause mass panic.
gollark: Sounds anomalous and possibly devastating to human existence on Earth.
