5.0 out of 5 stars Smoothjazz.com Review, January 15, 2007

And what a swanky, swirling, sophisticated happy hour it is! A mingling mélange of smooth grooves and chilled tracks from beginning to end. Evolve has a superb and intelligent recording here; one that makes even the most blasé music enthusiast sit up and take notice with its rich instrumentation and arrangements featuring killer drum programming and loops, trumpet, flugelhorn and keyboards, as well as brilliant lyrical notions and outstanding vocals from the sultry Margo Reymundo and intriguing nu-rap from Tantrum. The man behind the evolution of Evolve? Only the coolest Brit in California with a name to match, Red Broad. Red's work on HAPPY HOUR IN THE GENE POOL is deep and poignant, yet shallow enough to wade in with friends while sipping cocktails. Evolve is genre defining in my opinion; a standard by which other artists should measure their work and quality. In a time when the music industry requires life support, Evolve has just shot an injection of clever and unique into its veins and offers the consumer a reason to buy the entire project, not just a tune. More please! More music that appeals to the senses and packages itself in a stunning, shiny digipak that you never want to put down. SmoothLounge.com invites you to Evolve.~SANDY SHORE

5.0 out of 5 stars Chill out music at it's best, May 10, 2007

This review is from: Happy Hour In The Gene Pool (Audio CD)

Excellent album and I'm happy to own it. In my humble opinion, the following three tracks are exceptional:

3 Couldn't be more wrong

4 By definition: Cool

10 Where where you (Sunday Afternoon)

Evolve seem to have been influenced by a wide range of musicians in the field of chill out, trip-hop and lounge music. "By definition: Cool" sometimes even reminds me of "Stereo MC's".

Apart from the above mentioned highlights, there's some smoother/quieter tracks.

I live in Zurich, Switzerland, and was unable to find this album in Europe, which is a bit of a shame.Happy Hour In The Gene Pool

In the true spirit of downtempo chill-out lounge music, evolve delivers a deeply moving musical experience. With a beat that will groove your soul and relax even the most hectic of minds, happy hour in the gene pool keeps your head bobbing without losing the listener with boring repetitious loops - far from it. If your into profound, relaxing beats & melodies in the true fashion of mark farina and the like, this album is all you need.
