What can I say? Well it's one of the best albums in my personal collection. The best way to communicate with your inner self. Chillier and smoother than ever... No special comment. Just Get it and you won't regret!!!

Raise the bar. Baby Mammoth continues to set the stage for acid jazz, lo-tempo, minimal, and any other genre setting class form. Not quite sure if these guys will ever fall into the american club scene. However as a proponent of all trip style sounds, Mammoth leads the way.

I will admit that this is my first Baby Mammoth CD (I know, I know -- they have been around for some time now) but I can assure you that it will not be my last!
"Swimming" features a delightful mix of nu-jazz and downtempo tracks. In fact, I liked it so much that when I first picked it up, I listened to it four times in a row -- and I'm pretty particular about my music! Yep, it's that good!
Fans of Fila Brazillia (also on Pork records), Kruder and Dorfmeister (Tosca/Peace Orchestra), Bent and the likes will most certainly appreciate this.
Highly reccomended!

Right off the bat on Swimming, Baby Mammoth seems to be branching out: "Quick Kick" goes for a more `live' sound. But they quickly settle into what they do best: funky electronic downtempo. They continue to add more effects to their production technique, which results in a more full sound. Sure enough, in keeping with the aquatic theme, the tracks here flow beautifully, almost organically. The live sound makes a welcome comeback in "Urban Waltz" -- which makes it stand out in a good way -- but other tracks like "Funnels" and "Strong Downward" are equally enjoyable.

I was with some of my friends in an chinese restaurant and heard Baby Mammoth there for the first time. It was the Swimming album. I was really hyped when I heard this album. So be sure to get this album! You won't be disapointed. I have get an ex and I'm really pleased with it.
