5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Album, June 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Does (Audio CD)

I had never heard the Slip before this album. I had heard them mentioned in iprovisational music circles, but had not taken the time to check them out. After listening to "Does" I am definately going to seek out some live shows! These boys are serious musicians. The guitar player is fantastic, his playing style is a cross between Steve Kimock & John Scofield. The bass player is mezmorizing, his playing is both funky and modal, and his solos are very very smooth. The percussionist is top notch as well. He moves and weaves the beat in and out of the guitar & bass beautifully. The music is quite telapathic and without the vocal tracks it would be hard to not classify this as a jazz record. The Slip grooves hard on this cd. I highly recomend it to fans of improvisational music. It is a solid release with great song writing and playing thoughout. Can't wait to hear what they can do live!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Studio Effort From Tremendous Live Band, June 28, 2001

I would hope that most are paying no mind to those messages which acclaim DMB as the pinnacle of jamming. The Slip's album offers much more than any of DMB's recent releases. The jams are imaginative and creative, and not atypical of the style, grow on you with each listen. The vocals are, admitedly, hard to listen to at times. The album should not be judged on the vocals alone, however, as it is a showcase of true musicianship. I have seen The Slip live, and can truly say that they are one of the best live acts I have witnessed. I hesitate to give this album 5 stars, not only because it falls somewhat short of their live performances, but also because it impresses a little less than their debut album, From the Gecko. If you can get your hands on that, I would definitely recommend it. It is one of my favorite albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Slip Does More!, June 20, 2000

This review is from: Does (Audio CD)

At long last we have this fresh disc from our brothers Brad, Andrew and Marc."Does," the Slip's first widely distributed studio offering, captures the essence of the evolution which this amazing human trio has been undergoing during the many moons since their first release, "From the Gecko," in 1997. Playful, elegant, jazzy, funky, earthy infectious, heartful, thoughtful, this disc reflects the honesty of spirit which these young men embody. "Does" includes an organic blend of both purely instrumental and vocally enhanced tracks with variety fit for all ears. From the irresistibly funky "So Dope" to the beautiful melodic strains of "Crack in the Sundial," this new disc, "Does" is on the top of my listening list.
