2.0 out of 5 stars Way Abstract. Not Much Funk., July 11, 2002

I can't say a whole lot of good things about this CD, so I'll keep it short and sweet. The songs aren't mixed, the songs make you wait for disappointingly anticlimactic breakdowns, compilations that include works of other artists sound much better mixed, and KY seems to have gotten lost in the land of Creative Exploration, forgetting the big picture in the process. Where is the trademark Yost smoothness that keeps me bumping Small Town Underground and Straight Out the Boon Dox each and every day? Nowhere to be seen.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not good, October 6, 2002

I was expecting some more of Kevin's JAZZ FUNK HOUSE, but instead got a regular, dime a dozen TECH HOUSE cd, and not a very good one at that. So who ever kidnapped Kevin Yost, bring him back so he can do what he does best. JAZZ FUNK HOUSE.

This review is from: Abstract Funk Theory (Audio CD)

Not as much of a dance record per se as was Small Town Underground, Mr Yost's very nice continous house-music mix. This is funky yet minimalist, reminding me of early purely electronic music at times, without that distinct "house sound." Mostly intrumental except for "close to my skin," where the voice is used as a repititious element. Not a continous mix. A very random, funky ambient feel. Lots of Bongo's and lively beats with a complexity of textures on top, nothing too slammin' though. Very Nice. Nothing to think about--just feel and respond to some fine, heady, chill-grooves.
