It grooves, it funks, and opens with bone shaking bass. Cool,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ultimately Empty Million Pounds (Audio CD)
This jazzy little piece has a a whole lot of bass, plus a collection of luscious hooks. You will groove to it. Like a good hot summer afternoon, you could just let it wash over you and soak into your bones. Great stuff... but take care, it will expose parts of your brain and your stereo that you never knew existed.

Disappointing,

This review is from: Ultimately Empty Million Pounds (Audio CD)
Well, I had recently got the vinyl EP of "Love, pusscats and carwrecks", which I really dug, so I checked out the CD of "Million Pounds". Most of the CD did not live up to my expectations - it just doesn't groove as well. I know the sound for Funki Porcini (and for much of the Ninja Tune catalog)is generally more disconnected as the samples sort of collide with each other, but I found it to be less pleasurable and more annoying on this outing. I ended up scarching my head more than i was nodding it.

Funki Porcini - The Ultimately Empty Million Pounds,
This review is from: Ultimately Empty Million Pounds (Audio CD)
Funki Porcini abandons his "sleazy listening" style and his "experimental jazz" style for _The Ultimately Empty Million Pounds_, opting instead for some more typical downtempo jazz. Sure, "Theme from Sugar Daddy" has a nice heaviness to it, and "Wilson's Millions" seems to horn past the consciousness. "Rockit Souul" calls attention to itself with some interesting dynamic range, and "Reboot" tries to do something interesting with some samples from instructional tapes, as does "123, 3, 4." Many of the tracks, however, end up somewhat wan. "English Country Music" and "Cheasy Rider" are perfectly pleasant, but... it's nothing that we haven't heard before. Ditto for "Butler's Groove." Even the samples seem tired; I expected something more with the theme from "Bonanza" that kicks off "Nothing To Do." "Tiers of Joy" tries to redeem things with some mellow grooves, but it might be too little, too late. Where's the subversive Funki Porcini I once knew and loved?
