If this release flew over your head like it did me, you might be under the impression that Sadistik spent five years in between releases tightening his craft as tight as it possibly could go for his second LP. You'd be half-right, given that he underwent the significant portion of the adjustments in just two years before collaborating with little-known, yet highly skilled, Chicago producer A Kid Called Computer and releasing an EP known as The Art Of Dying. You can see much of what he was going for on Flowers For My Father on these tracks, and with some pretty great production behind it all (especially "Save Yourself"), the record works as a standalone project as well as a premonition of what was to come.
