Craig Charles plays Mr. Confuse "Boogie Down featuring Benjie" on his show on BBC6 and reads the liner notes he had written for the album "Do You Realize"! 

Liner notes of Craig Charles from the Mr. Confuse album "Do You Realize":

     It has been a while since I have heard what Mr Confuse has been up to, but the time has obviously not been wasted, this is simply a marvellous follow up to what was already a cracking debut set in the shape of “Feel The Fire”.

    I have to say that what I really admire about this set is how much he has moved away from the sample driven jams that were the trademark of his debut set and into songwriting proper. Given that and his perfect ear for a groove and his seemingly insatiable thirst for influences from across the globe from The Balkans to Asia to Memphis, this album was always going to promise a lot and it certainly delivers.

    And above all this is a labour of love. You do not undertake the Herculean task of assembling 23 musicians together unless you have a clear vision and belief in your sound and that is evident in every single track on the album. The sound is HUGE and very very addictive!

Special mention has to go to his reworking of the Man Parrish electro anthem “Boogie Down (Bronx)”. It takes a man of real vision and courage to take this well-loved tune down Nigeria-way and transform into an Afro-Funk monster. If you liked his version of “Planet Rock” when he was part of the Breakout crew then you are in for a real treat, because this is massive.

Congratulations Mr Confuse, once again you have stepped up to the challenge of finding your own path and passed with flying colours."
