Editorial Reviews

VIBE

"Propulsive debut... thumps with hard-hitting drums, bluesy guitars and funky ass bass lines"

Product Description

The first time Ubiquity heard Nino Moschella's demo they were blown away by his gritty and soulful vocal styling and unique lo-fi funk productions and signed him-up instantly. "The Fix" is his debut album, and is a forward thinking blend of backyard funk, psychedelic soul, and '60's rock. Moschella blurs the lines between electronic and acoustic music, and tracks on The Fix have been compared to Sly Stone, Prince, and Dr John. Recorded entirely at his roundhouse studio in the woods outside of Yosemite, CA. Moschella handles almost all of the instruments and vocals himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, October 29, 2009

By	Itchy T (S.F., CA) - See all my reviews

This record amazing, bordering on classic as far as I'm concerned. Several years later and I'm still popping this one in the deck.
If you like your soul/funk dusty and raw, without the BS varnish, get this.

5.0 out of 5 stars creative as all hell, January 9, 2009

By	Plurdig "-Plurgid" (Huntsville, AL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Fix (MP3 Download)

Wow this is a creative album.
The percussion is completely unconventional nearly all the time. It's seriously funky, and soulful as well.

I don't get all these people dissing the record because it's derivative. ORLY? This sounds too much like Stevie? Really? Really?!! Are you retarded or something?! (no really, I'm asking, because apart from the general vocal style, there's no comparison at all).

This is more like the unholy love child of Prince and The Backyard Band.

funky, soulful, low budget, awesome.

4.0 out of 5 stars Everything but the polish, January 25, 2008

By	C. W. Hall "http://www.chriscospins.com" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Either I've been listening to obscure music for far too long or Nino Moschella will soon have a video getting 50 runs a day on MTV. I say that not to denigrate his music, but to laud the sheer charisma he exudes on The Fix.

Some records land on independents because they're rejected by majors. I have a feeling Ubiquity has The Fix because they got there first. Sure it's a tweener record... Sly-era funk with Delta blues, protest rock and a touch of soul. But there's too much here for me to believe that anyone heard it and thought, "Nah, I don't know what we'd do with that."

Nino Moschella is Raphael Saadiq without the polish. If Saadiq had waited until he was on the cusp of 30 before tasting success, this is the music he would have made. That's the vibe. The record's meat is in bass lines, unconventional percussion, and heartfelt textured vocals. The occasional guitar solo sets things just that much more, but overall it's a minimalist endeavour. Take "Better Off" for example, which consists mostly of beatboxing and a chunky bass line.

Although obviously skilled, Moschella's sound has more to do with the feeling in his gut than with his technical prowess. There are songs like "Better Off" where he trots out his best version of the ad-libbed "Oh oh ohs" that made funk so addictive. There are poignant guitar solos such as the one on "If You Believe" that, while incredibly welcome additions, seem to come out of nowhere. The Fix is a very meditative record that features Moschella's emotions as the star attraction.

Of course, when a song-writer is this talented, focusing on his emotions makes a great deal of sense. Nino excels at dragging emotion out of every last syllable. Relationships feature prominently, but they are framed in the larger message of empowerment and self-sufficiency. "Better Off" and "Moved On" illustrate perfectly as both focus on the ability to recover from love's detours. The overarching message is more directly put in "If You Believe" where positive self-image and the value of setting your own course provide the signposts for a brilliant song.

One note on the last song on The Fix. Maybe this is more of a warning, but it needs to be said anyway. "Holding On" will get you naked with someone. Wrapped around a simple hypnotic melody and easy guitar embellishment on the hook, Nino basically does the seducing for you. You probably don't even have to say anything, just hold the girl's hand. "Holding On" is get naked music. Use its powers for good.

This is a great album. The music has a funky feel that is reminiscent of Stevie Wonder. It's unlike anything I've heard from other artists lately. Read more
