Fantastic Groove Jazz.......2004-12-22

I also saw these guys at the Montreal Jazz Festival this past summer and I was so blown away that I ran right out to get their record. If you like Jazzanova or LTJ Bukem, you'll love these guys. And they're not DJ's; they're musicians. They've got some other stuff available on iTunes, which IMHO is even better than this record, but this record is definitely not one to pass by. And see them live if you ever have a chance.

Way cool album, great combo of sounds, I recomend it to everyone. Can't wait for the next one

I saw these guys live at the Montreal Jazz Festival and they were brilliant! I hadn't heard them before, but heard the music and had to check it out. Their CD is very nice as well. It grooves but is also very inventive. There's not much electronic music out there that is this high quality, and the fact that they can do it live adds to their appeal. I can't wait to hear more!

have you wondered what would happen if two great minds got together with no other ambition but to cook up some of the best funk you can ever imagine. that is what this album is.
down tempo funk/jazz for days. you can equally listen to this album rolling in your ride or just chill-n in a dark basesment with your fly honey. it makes you want to flare up a smoke and chill.

I have never felt compelled to write an Amazon review until now. I heard one of K&W's songs ("Vaccine," to be released on new CD) on internet radio and it blew me away. Instant addiction to this group. Like no other jazz/ambient/urban/downtempo (undefinable) music you ever heard. You'll love this music if you like great percussion, like the repetitiveness of ambient rhythms, and appreciate the BASS, because this music has the best(...) bass-playing you ever heard. If you like sounds that are a little spacey/atmospheric and mysterious, with hip, urban percussion and beautifully composed chords and progressions, buy this album and download the MP3's on Amazon as well. Many tracks start simply, and build and build in complexity, with layer upon layer of variations in texture and harmonic interest. Great synthesized sounds, beautiful piano, chords, and harmonies that are gorgeous and interesting and complex. No one element dominates the others; they blend like they're all part of one liquid sound, and I find this balance between percussion, keyboard, and bass very unusual and satisfying. A few have a little bit of vocal that sounds almost more percussion than voice. The rhythms are fantastic- this is great music to dance or work out to! Westdal's bass is in a class by itself: fabulously interesting melodic bass guitar that I love listening to just on its own and for its cool interplay with keyboard. Check out "Battle of the Giant Robots" -About three minutes in there are four notes that build into a four-chord upward progression that's just a knockout. For their beautiful subtlety, listen to "Onikoroshi," which starts out with strong percussion, but then slowly adds very subtle harmonies--you really have to listen to it a number of times and the subtlety grows on you. That happens with a lot of their songs-- the more you listen, the more you hear. "Sunset" is a great example of how mellow and sweet the sound can be, mixed together with an edgy, hip beat. They mix so many elements, so well. Best example of all, and my personal favorite: the sophisticated "Nebula." It's available on "New Sound Theory 2" and as Amazon download). It has it all-- their great percussion, wonderful piano, and an amazing bass line... one of the most gorgeous, well-integrated jazz type pieces I've ever heard. Keston and Westdal are inordinately talented composers, way beyond the level of what's being produced now. This is the first CD I've ever bought in my life where I truly love every song (usually if I find even two songs I like on a CD, I consider it not a loss). So if you like any of it, buy all of it-- every song is unique but has the same wonderful musicianship and complexity.
