3.0 out of 5 stars Funk "Preserver", Floats Well!!, December 30, 2001

"DFunk and the Phatfunk Klique, do a pretty good job of bringing
back a "70's" "Funk" vibe! However, in "DFUNK" being the primary focus of this CD, I wanted to hear more "VIOLIN"! I wanted to hear "Mr. DFunk" stretch himself further. Even though we all have been graced with great violinists such as
'Jean-Luc Ponty', Noel Pointer and Stephan Grappelli, we still don't hear much violin. "DFunk" has the potential to break new ground on his instrument by comming to the forefront of popular music, and yes, even Hip-Hop!
The album seems to have a smooth sound that features, un-
selfishly, the talents of the "Phatfunk Klique". The bass player lays down distinctive lines without overpowering the melodies. And the vocalists' 'airy' and 'smooth' tones enhance
this albums 'aura'! My only 'crtique' is that something was
missing or left out. That 'something' I hope will appear on
"DFunk's" next "CD"!

Review: Darrell "DFunk" Looney's 7 selection collection of his original compositions highlight the feel of excitement in PANDEMIC LOVE! It is an adventure in funk sound, and Looney does it well. His violin performances are excellent.

Selections include "Pandemic Love," "Take A Chance," "Jazzy Jam," and "A Little Bit More," among others. Each is different and lively! If you like funk, you will enjoy this collection! The artists perform well and each song is different. PANDEMIC LOVE is a winner in the funk jazz genre!

3.0 out of 5 stars Unpolished talent, great potential, August 11, 2001

DFunk and the Phatfunk Clique is a Jazz group with a lot of potential, but as for their CD titled "Pandemic Love," it contains a lot of repetitive tracks that underwhelms the listener. An example of this is the track "Take A Chance," a ten minute piece that consists of a few beats that's looped over and over, which is evident in Amazon.com's RealAudio sample.

I believe this group has a lot of potential,but it needs is someone who is experienced in writing and composing music. Someone like Branford Marselis or Regina Carter might just be the thing that DFunk and his clique need to ascend to the next level.
