They're a nice group, been mentioned here in the past and appeared on some playlist of the months. You been a lifetime fan?
I saw a review of their album on a rap blog I follow so I decided to listen for myself. Ink Is My Drink was reviwed and given a 5/6 but I haven't got that album. That's a nice track by the way. It seems like that 12 Step Program has a bit more electronic vibe added on some of the tracks than their previous works. It takes a little from the jazz/soul but 12 Step Program is still a nice album. I should get my hands on Ink Is My Drink next, they are a nice rapper/producer group

I have the Scenic Route as well, but I don't have 12 Step Program. Looking forward to giving that a listen if you recommend it.
Steel Kites has always been my favourite, the beat is really original and giving to his rhymes. Perfect mix.
Their discography:
Thinking Back, Looking Forward (2004)
Ink is My Drink (2005)
The Scenic Route (2007)
A Mind on a Ship Through Time (2008)
The Re Route (2009)
Corkscrew Gap EP (2009)
12 Step Program (2010)
I don't know if they have any mixtapes.
I'll give their catalog a couple of listens before deciding which album is better.
Just realized that MC Raw Poetic is from Philadelphia - that city has raised a lot of dope rappers.

im the biggest panacea fan i have all their material a little fact that most dont know raw poetic is also in another group called restoring poetry in music they pretty dope they have a cd and ep out
Listened to their 'Thinking Back Looking Forward' album last night, have to say I really enjoyed it.
It's a shame that I overlooked them as a group worth listening to for a whole LP 'cos I just enjoyed a few songs I picked up over the years, such as Steel Kites that I posted. I did give The Scenic Route a listen a few years back, but never really thought that it was that outstanding to go back and listen to again and again. I'll give it a re-listen though.
The harmonica type sound? I don't think I've heard it before...
Yeah, I guess so. Except it was a bit longer. It annoys me everytime I listen to Steel Kites, hehe
At first I thought it was from Jay-Z D.O.A. but it wasn't then I thought it was from an Eminem song but can't figure out which one or maybe a RZA produced track.
I'll have to listen to my library all over since I'm certain I have heard it before.

Enjoy doing that... we'll see you here again in like what? A month? haha
I'm off to Barcelona and then onto a festival, so I'm going to be gone for a while. I hope people keep on posting and hopefully September, we'll really get it going.
I've got a bunch of old playlists from as far back as 05/06 I think on my other computer that I'm going to upload when I get back :tu

See you around homie...
My next playlist may be Jazz mode...
That new tape from Madlib is just ILL... Medicine Show 7
Bumping, got to show love to one of my favourite groups. Ink is my drink and the Scenic Route are far and away their greatest albums and are damn near flawless. I can't say i'm to keen on any of their post Rawkus releases though, seems like they're on the decline.

Listened to Steel Kites so many times, was one of the first songs I loved by an independent group. Like a year in to my listening.

Sounds like that could be an amazing playlist, Dilla. Look forward to hearing it.
I still haven't listened to 7!!! I'll have to give that a listen when I get back!!
Have a good weekend
