  • This well thought-out anthology includes just about every notable Traffic track from their peak years of 1968 to 1971. What immediately impresses here is the range of the band and the variety of their influences. They veer from psychedelic pop (love that cheesy sitar on their debut hit, "Paper Sun"), to jazz-inflected R&B on the instrumental "Glad," via Celtic folk in the lovely, pastoral "John Barleycorn Must Die," and the psychedelic rock of San Francisco-style jams on "Mr. Fantasy."
  • The whole enterprise is held together by the glue of Jim Capaldi's vastly underrated drumming and by Stevie Winwood's justifiably celebrated keyboards and Ray Charles-inflected vocals. You can almost smell the incense and controlled substances that were present at the creation of most of this material, but, in a way, this only adds to the music's laid-back charm. Essential.
