5.0 out of 5 stars Take the Ride of your life. Clyde's Ride., March 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Clyde's Ride (Audio CD)

The more I listen to it, the more I appreciate it. The disc is absolutely a positive vibe; see this band live at your own peril--you will be rocked like a hurricane and funked up like George Clinton. In the words of Jack Kerouac, "[T]he only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars . . . [t]he greatest ride in my life."

5.0 out of 5 stars Puts the "funk" into FUNKY, October 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Clyde's Ride (Audio CD)

I guess this review is quite original in that all the others have been from America and I'm Irish. I was first introduced to the music of Clydes Ride when I was working in Luxembourg, by a friend of mine who use to hang out with them long b4 they made it big (thank you so much Deborah Mac.) With the majority of CDs you have to listen to them over and over again to get a real feel for the music, but not with this one. Upon hearing the killer tracks on this CD I became addicted and just couldn't get enough of it. Lani's voice is amazing and she makes love to the lyrics which the music caresses so vibrantly to form a musical orgy. Funky, loud, bold, big sounds complement happy, sad, angry lyrics. If you have any respect for music whatsoever, you'll go out and buy this now. A must for anyone who is serious about their music collection. Be impressed, BE VERY IMPRESSED.[Really needs to be released in Europe on a big scale]

5.0 out of 5 stars That extra kick to get me throught the day, June 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Clyde's Ride (Audio CD)

Clyde's Ride is medicine. Medicine for a world sick with dispair and frusteration. I've seen them perform countless times and they always lift my spirits. Their first CD captures the essence of recording for the first time. Sure you can hear the shyness in the tracks, but that's what makes a new band exciting. It's refreshing to hear an album that's not overproduced. An album that captures the feeling of a real band, timidness and all. I love this band and wish them the best.
