5.0 out of 5 stars music for all you funkers, September 7, 2000

I guess this album has it all. Great songs, great musicians, great sounds. If you've been looking for that classic hammond organ sound, then look no further. Great all round musicianship combined with great music that can only be described as a cocktail of high energy funk and acid jazz. Highly recommended.

Can't remember well when was it that I first heard this album, or what was the occasion for it. I just know that it somehow ended in my CD player, as a sort of a background noise with neither me nor my friends payed much attention to. It was one of those sounds that you need as a company, just so that there isn't silence around you, so you might actually hear what the other person is talking about. It sounded to me, at the moments that I actually did pay attention to it, as a version of Coltrane's endless ups and downs through the scale, something that tends to irritate people who are not all that into jazz sound.

The other time I listened to it alone in my room, can't exactly remember why, but I remember being busy with one thing or another and this sounded like a perfect soundtrack for it. And then it hit me. It had this great funky sound that just moved your body even if you didn't pay much attention to it. Taylor is doing wonders with organs, percussion is developed, it disintegrates in every number, and you never get that feeling of jazz drummer torturing his instrument for no apparent reason at all. It accompanies the sound of an album and it would be really hard to imagine it without it. When brass section kicks in suddenly there's another layer of sound that entwines over others and they all make a perfect rhytmic harmony. One gets a feeling of being in a club somewhere, one where there's a band that no one listens to, or no one has ever heard off, but somehow no one really minds them playing there. Their sound is what really makes a club atmosphere, and you just can't imagine being there without them.

There are ten pieces on this album and sure sometimes you get a feeling of them repeating themselves, sounds like you heard them before somewhere, sometime, but somehow you don't mind. It's catchy, it's energetic opening song kicks you right into groin, and yet you feel satisfied. There are tons of jazz recordings out there maybe better suited for what you have in mind, but this album has something that will pull you back to it, over and over again.

Disco espectacular para disfrutar con tus amigos tomando unos buenos tragos, se recominda un Jack Daniels. Acid jazz vertiginoso, con una calidad impresionante, de lo mejor del cuarteto Altamente recomendable para darte un gustazo o para quedar bien con alguna señorita
