Editorial Reviews

As legend has it, Kenny Dope Gonzalez came up with the idea for the Bucketheads while riding through Manhattan and listening to the radio. The Brooklyn-born DJ, already a New York house music star thanks to his production and remix work with Little Louie Vega (as Masters at Work), was unimpressed by the Euro-flavored dance records that were getting rotation and started digging in his own collection for the antidote to the tepid tracks coming from overseas. The result was the Bucketheads, an infectious blend of hip-hop, disco, funk and house influences that, like anything Kenny touches musically, simply could not miss. The single "The Bomb (These Sounds Fall into My Mind)" became an inescapable dance floor staple upon its release in summer 1995, dominating club rotations in the U.S. and scaling the charts across Europe, entering the Top 10 in the UK, France and Belgium. The song, along with follow-up single "Got Myself Together," formed the centerpiece for the album All in My Mind, which would become a significant influence on dance music during the second half of the 1990s and into the next decade. The Bucketheads impact is still felt today, as Miami rapper Pitbull would revive "The Bomb" for his own 2009 smash hit "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)." In 2006, Slant Magazine named the song as number 65 on their list of the 100 Greatest Dance Songs, saying it "brought disco revivalism to the world of jock jams." Get On Down is honored to present the reissue of The Buckethead's essential 1995 album All in My Mind on CD, restored with brilliant sound, newly designed cover art and packaged in an embossed digi-pak. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funky as a monkeys tail side in July...., January 15, 1999

Excellent. Deep, inspiring house music. If you are not motivated to dance by this music, start checking out grave plots. Nice mixture of horns and vocals, all of it laid out over percussion for the soul(and your feet). Even if you are completely sick of "The bomb"(I for one am not), it is a worthy purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Cd is The BOMB!, April 10, 2002

This cd is a House album with 70's style funky music, and vocals.
The title track "the bomb" is just awsome. It was a disco hit back when it came out. Nowadays this is just a 1 hit wonder, eve if the whole cd is awsome.
This cd could easily be Daft Punk's third album (for their first was 90's style and their second 80's style).
This cd makes me bounce and bop every time i put it on. If you do not find yourself dancing a few minutes into the first song, then you gotta check your head, for something maybe wrong in your motrice system.
If you like house music, funk, and dancing, this is a cd you will definetively enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good album for fans of disco/funk., October 29, 1998

If you're a fan of BT Express, Brass Construction, Fatback Band, the JBs, KC & the Sunshine Band, etc., then you'll like this CD. The sound is more electronic than the 70's bands mentioned above, but it's good to know that good funky dance music is still being put out. Another good choice is the CFM band on Instinct Records, for some hard core acid-jazz funk.
