3.0 out of 5 stars reasonably enjoyable groove confectionary, May 20, 2001

This review is from: I Am Fearless Funky & Five (Audio CD)

Five years of jacked up fireside funk from the tart little Tummy Touch label, all for five pounds (about nine bucks to us folks here). Can't beat that deal, hmm?

Possibly not. Tim `Love' Lee waves the banner for sauced-up soul tunes that deftly veer from the smirking cloy puddles most other artists would step into. The smoothly stitched drum loops of `Again Son' and southern fried trip hop of `Go Down Dixie' rise above out-in-leftfield novelty value for surefire keepers. Tutto Matto `Take My Hand,' all horn stabs and falsetto croon, perhaps best exemplifies the label's designs, while Los Chicharrons `Chicharrons n Boogaloo' is pure party frippery waiting for a beer ad.

The rest of the bag tend to rely on attitude and DIY cut & paste aesthetic rather than crafting lasting music. Reasonably enjoyable...perhaps an album can indeed just get by as groove confectionery.

4.0 out of 5 stars Once again for this CD, May 20, 2002

None other than 11 long intervals of the funky collective.
This entitles you to git down wit it and go berzerk.
My favorites are "take my hand", "tippy toe", and "fireside favourite". I like Groove Armada better when theyre on Jive,but thats just me. Buy this and listen for yourself

This review is from: I Am Fearless Funky & Five (Audio CD)

This compilation celebrates five years of survival for the dance label, Tummy Touch, out of London. My only prior exposure to Tummy was through Groove Armada's fabulous first full release, "Northern Star". Not yet able to find room in my budget to purchase other of the label's artists such as Tim "Love" Lee, Mescalito, Organic Audio, and Tutto Matto (all collected here), I splurged at a bargain basement price on "I Am Fearless, Funky & Five". This compilation will give any one itching for the absolute freedom of the groove deep, deep satisfaction and also the opportunity to expose oneself to a handful of some of the most gifted and aesthetically sound dance artists out there. There are two stellar cuts from the Groove Armada debut and two from Mr. Lee's pair of CD's with the other nine representing the rest of the Tummy Touch stable. Every track is ablaze and unusual with Italian duo, Tutto Matto's "Take My Heart" capable of making girls and boys all over the world do things on the dance floor they only dream of doing. Sex and love and funk and soul abound. Great disc for the scantily clad or any fetishist you might know. As an added bonus, unfold the inner sleeve and play the board game, "Nudo" with some very "close" friends. I can only imagine how good this disc will sound over and over again on a long, hot summer night.
