5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff!, May 28, 2002

Kel (Kapolei, HI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pali (Audio CD)

This CD is great! So many artists out there nowdays just repackage previously recorded songs, but Pali is comprised mostly of original compositions. The duo has a diverse selection of styles...slack key, traditional & contemporary Hawaiian music; and all of it sounds great!

Their original songs are very catchy & before you know it, you're singing along (my 4 year-old son even sings along). Their version of a classic Hawaiian song, "Wahine 'Ilikea" is hauntingly beautiful...gave me chicken skin the first time I listened to it.

This CD is bound to be a classic! I'm already looking forward to their next release!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome stuff! A must buy for Hawaiian/World music fans!, May 8, 2002

This review is from: Pali (Audio CD)

Take Hawaiian greats such as the Sunday Manoa, Olomana, Ka'au Crater Boys and Hapa and combine them with Contemporary giants such as Extreme (of "more than words" fame), Loggins & Messina, Simon and Garfunkel and Crosby, Stills & Nash... the result is PALI. I've seen them perform in a number of gigs and got to talk to them afterward. After buying their CD and listening to it, I can honestly say... these guys have "it."

From traditional Hawaiian to soulful English ballads, from uptempo ukulele ripping to bada$$ instrumentals, this album has it all. Two major things of note....
1. no jawaiian here! finally!!!
2. they wrote most of the stuff on here!!!
All in all, one of the best CDS to come out in a while.

You ever see a movie that was *so* good, you had to tell everyone you know about it?

It is really hard to classify this CD. While there are pop elements on here, there are also folk, Hawaiian (in Hawaiian) and various grooves on the CD that make it hard to classify this in a purely "World music" category.

I took a chance on this CD and am happy to report that it delivers, and then some. There are 12 songs on this disc, 9 of which were written by the duo. All of the songs shine in arrangement, vocals/harmonies and in musicianship. As someone that used to play guitar, it's apparent that these guys have some serious chops too. Even though they're playing acoustic guitars, they really let their musical muscles flex while complimenting their vocal abilities. There are some Hawaiian songs on here, sung in Hawaiian (I guess that's what gets them in the "world music category"). Even though I couldn't understand a word of it, the songs are pretty elegant and very soothing.

I've had it for a couple of weeks now, and it's still in my CD player-where it will reside. I highly suggest this CD for anyone looking for great music.
