5.0 out of 5 stars Song writing, singing, and musicianship make this CD a must!, November 24, 2004

This review is from: In Spy-Fi (Audio CD)

From hot lounge instrumentals ("Tiki") to the fun vocals of Scott Morschhauser on "Middle Class Hell" and "Cyclops Optometrist," the Metrolites new CD "In Spy-Fy" rocks! Woven together like the sound track to a spy movie by variations on "The Man From M.E.T.R.O." theme, these songs form an eclectic mix of spy, lounge, rockabilly, and spaghetti western. Instrumentation is top notch with "Nervous" Neal Smith providing the hot saxophone, to Morschhauser's cool digital vibrophone. Kathleen Gallagher blazes a hot guitar trail following the steady beat of Josh Duffy on drums and Devin Kirby-Hansen on bass. If you're like me and familiar with rock and pop music, you'll feel at home with this CD while taking a slight detour in the world of Tiki lounges and martini bars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wild, Cool, Swingin' (and a little Spooky, too)!, October 30, 2004

Although I've heard tell that a Metrolites live show is not to be missed, "In Spy-Fi" is a delight and stands on its own as a tiki-tainted earful of fun. Morschauser's vocal stylings are refreshingly unconventional and uninhibited, and the lyrics can be a blast! The stellar saxophone work really grabs the listener, but all the instrumentation is topnotch. The original compositions have great depth, and provide deliciously unexpected twists and turns! The Metrolites' unusual selection of cover tunes (only 3 of 18 tracks) fit perfectly into their style: surf, spy, noir, lounge & spaghetti western are all fitting terms from the Amazon description - just put them all into a cocktail shaker with a dash of olive juice to get the mouthwatering dirty martini that is the Metrolites' sound!

A friend of mine introduced me to their music. This group wrote most of the songs. It's hard to describe their music...if you enjoy TV and Motion Picture songs of the 50's and 60's with a nice Rock & Roll feel...you need to take a listen...you won't be disappointed.

Sometimes vocals are a bit uneven at times...so 4.5 stars.
