SoCal Soul with theremins!, August 11, 2001
This review is from: Into the Oh (Audio CD)
Sacred Cow, Geggy Tah's second offering, was lots of fun, light and surprisingly addictive. "Whoever You Are", Tommy Jordan's ode to a kindly fellow driver, briefly brought the rhythm guitar back onto mainstream radio with the song's sparkling good humor, and "Gina" must be--from a woman's point of view--the most erotic song ever written. In short, fun froth that was flatteringly intricate enough to keep me waiting for #3.
But this is amazing! This is Geggy Tah smarter, more musically confident, and yet still danceable, unpretentious, sparkling and pretty. Tommy Jordan's voice like fizzy pop: perfect summer listening. He and Greg Kurstin write earthy, funky tunes, embued with healthy lust (withness "Gina" and Into The Oh's "Sweat"). Occasionally Jordan himself even slips into the profound: "Dumb Submarine" is definitely the standout track, although "One Zero" and "Holly Oak" are excellent. "I'll Find My Way" is more Santana than Santana, but that's the most you can pin down their sound. And Jordan and Kurstin's lyrics are clever, prompting you to fumble for the CD insert. Can't say that about many bands these days...
Bright, sunlit, and a little older now, Geggy Tah continue to delight. I can't wait for #4, but this will do handsomely for the present.

Geggy Tah is still with us!, May 22, 2001
This review is from: Into the Oh (Audio CD)
The first time I listened to this CD, I felt the sudden urge to play it again and again. Even though Geggy Tah has taken quite a break between their last album and "Into the Oh," it is obvious that they haven't lost their knack for creating some of the best music I've ever heard. I only wish that more people knew about Geggy Tah so that they could be appreciated on a grander scale. For everyone out there who adores, or even moderately enjoys Geggy Tah, you will love "Into the Oh" to no end.

Geggy Tah -- Geggy WOW!, August 1, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Into the Oh (Audio CD)
This band is a unique blend of jazzy, loungy, pop music that is addiciting! Their sound is relaxing, their lryics are intense and their overall vibe is inviting. I can't think of a single band to compare them to... If you are in the market for some outstanding music, look no farther. Into the Oh will leave you yearning for more...
