Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space) was Digable Planets' official debut offering released back in 1993 on Electra Records. The record is well known for the track Rebirth of Slick (cool like that) which was a big hit back in that period and a track that gained the group a lot of air play and recognition. The entire album was produced by Butterfly who tended to dive into the jazz fusion side of things in his production, and the album as a whole could be filed under or seen as a 'jazz-rap' project. It was this initial sound that gained them success and one they drifted away from with their future release 'Blowout Comb' in 94 which was not as successful as Reachin' but still contained some strong stand out tracks such as 9th Wonder (Blackitolism) for example.
