5.0 out of 5 stars This Jazz fusion is a gift to world-weary travelers, February 19, 2006

It's steamy and seductive, hypnotic and haunting. Eric Kamen's Native Unit CD is filled with the ultra-lush sounds of Spanish guitar, acoustic piano, bass, drums, bazukis, sitar, strings, tubular bells, and Japanese Koto. Listening to this fused Jazz collection makes me feel less world-weary! It is like a beautiful musical oasis, where I can go and shut the door behind me! Produced as a series of "first takes" it has that raw here-and-now honesty and freshness that is lacking in so much of the current "spin" music... you must hear it! And then you are going to want to own it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant New Artist and Album!, February 14, 2006

My friend recently introduced me to the music of Eric Kamen and I love it! She made me listen to his song "Moshi Moshi" that is on this album and I was hooked. The great percussion beats along with the guitar that has a latin/spanish feel were just a great mix that pulled me in. Now that I have the whole CD, I have to praise Kamen even more for his incredible musical talents and creativity. I have yet to hear any other CD that blends so many different instrumental and international sounds together to make something completely unique and beautiful.

If you like world, new age, fusion, instrumental, latin, r&b or international music, you will absolutely enjoy this album and quickly become an Eric Kamen fan as well.

Eric Kamen's instrumental range and versility is truly a treat for the ears and soul. I listened to this CD for five hours straight the day it arrived. While I listened, I experienced a whole range of emotions, from sensual to cool and cocky, from sassy to warm and full, to downright titilated. This is adult music you can sink your emotions into. None of the cookie cutter stuff for Mr. Kamen. Bravo to you sir and I'm still listening.
