A ...little more chilled, spacious and less poppy than the studio album, but still fairly polished. Not as driving as the studio album. Easier to feel the background nyabinghi drumming - although it's not as heavily nyabingi sounding as traditional rasta music - it's more that you can hear it better. Yes, it is a bit more like an acoustic jam, although with studio quality clarity and polish - not like a live album in feel. Great background music because it's less intrusive than the studio album. Some tracks work well in their acoustic version, others aren't as good as the studio album. The bonus track, Someone to Love, is not quite acoustic but it's amazing! For me it was worth buying the album for this track alone :)
