5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing instrumentals, January 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 5ive Style (Audio CD)

This is absolutely one of the best instrumental albums I've ever heard. A very raw funk sound that I never, never get tired of listening to. It's unfortunate that this band is no longer together, but fans of this will also enjoy 5ive Style guitar player Bill Dolan's new band "Heroic Doses."

This review is from: 5ive Style (Audio CD)

The only thing wrong with this CD is that it is too short. 5ive style are GENIUS musicans who play intelligent, instrumental funky music with heart. Every single track is outstanding - the musicianship is stunningly accomplished, yet the band never sounds like they are showing off. They come so much closer to an updated Meters sort of sound than dozens of other bands who are trying really hard to do the same thing (e.g., Galactic). 5ive Style makes it sound easy! And what great guitar sounds these guys get! I'd love to know what equipment they are using & require all guitarists to but the same rig. I listen to this CD frequently, and I've owned it for about 10 years. There are not too many recordings I can say that about!

5IVE STYLE is an excellent Chicago-based instrumental indie band on the funk-disco tip. Members of 5IVE STYLE also play in other great indie bands THE SEA & CAKE and TORTOISE. This particular SubPop release is the only 5IVE STYLE album which is easy to find, and I highly recommend owning it, as well as any of the earlier pre-SubPop releases you might be fortunate enough to find. A superb live band, as well.
