Sunshine And The Rain., May 1, 2002
This review is from: Pendululm Vibe (Audio CD)
The above mentioned track is the best song on this masterful debut album. The rest of "Pendulum Vibe" is stunning as well, but the Dallas Austin produced "Sunshine...." is the crown jewel on this LP. I actually own the maxi-single version of this song and it features a 12-minute version that totally de-constructs the groove, the beat and that booming, hypnotic bassline revealing the true genius of Joi and her collaborators. I also happen to own a pristine, bootleg copy of "Ameoba Cleansing Syndrome" from 1996 that wasn't released, but would have surely kicked her competitors a**es back to music school! It's a lost masterpiece and the music world would have been a better place for it's existence. This mid-90's debut however is an ample sampling of her vocal brilliance ("Narcissa Cutie Pie") and lyrical gifts ("Fatal Lovesick Journey") and was probably too artistic for pedestrian, mainstream tastes, hence it's cult status, but for us music addicts, it's another hit of the good stuff. Go Get It.

IF WE WEREN'T WHO WE WERE, October 27, 2004
This review is from: Pendululm Vibe (Audio CD)
Tennessee Slim is the BOMB because Star Kitty had her Revenge. And while the Amoeba cleansed the Syndrome, the Pendulum was Vibin. So starts the creation of one of the greatest Funkateers of the era who came when the world was not ready for her. Stange in her way of the time of this CD she was lost among the more popular sounds but not to be ignored by those who do not follow the sounds of the norm. I loved this creation back when it was first released. Im so glad that i found it again. "Memories" take you back to a place that u thought u might have forgotten, when in all actuallity you forgot to forget. However if u did forget then what have actually may happened was that u never knew. Find yourself lost and found again with the beautiful sounds of "Fatal Lovesick Journey" and then come out to face the "Sunshine & the Rain" This is a tru work of art for those that love the sounds of Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, Outkast, Goodie MOB,- people of that nature. we all know who they are. It's kinda sad to kno that such great artistry is ignored. They would exist now, but would they be who they are without the STAR KITTY?
