5.0 out of 5 stars Balto's funkiest troupe live!, March 13, 2000

It's easy to review this album. If you like funk mixed with a little rap, ska and rock, you have to listen to this band! If you want to dance your bum off for 2+ hours, you have to see AMS live. If you can't see them live, this live CD will give you an idea as to their energy! Check them out!

This review is from: Raw Power Live! (Audio CD)

Taking up where Sly and the Family Stone would have gone 30 years later, this band is fronted by a brother on drums with a stage presence that is as big as his mushroom-cloud Afro-wig and the personality to command an army of players. How about a hybrid of breakneck acid rock-funk-jazz? Not in this dimension? That's all right, because Landis Expandis and his friends have their home beyond our galaxy, and when they get together to play, the universe listens. Just listen to them cook with ritmo loco rhythms on "Trendsetter," and you'll be on the passenger manifest as the guitar solo ignites like a giant rocket behind the belching saxophones and trumpet.

I had the opportunity to speak with guitarist Warren Boes at a booty-shakin' November show in NYC at the Mercury Lounge about his style, which has a tone that I last heard on Crosswinds, a release by the Mahavisnu Orchestra's drummer, Billy Cobham. Sure enough, Warren's hero and inspiration is John Abercrombie--and the Senators are getting rave reviews from must-see shows from Mars and alternate locations in other quadrants. Those wind storms on Jupiter?-that's the horn section doing their frenzy on "Triumphant." Lock this in before they make the leap to hyperspace. Oh, and when you make the trip, be sure to get acclimated before "Culture Shock" gets you in the groove and you watch your partner shake their thing--all three of them, if he or she is a Senators fan. They don't make `em like this here on Earth and never will again!
