5 out of 5 stars A youthful bridge to traditional andean pena music from Ecuador.......2007-06-05

I stumbled into this group of young musicians five years ago, when I heard the pan pipes curling sweetly up from a stairwell in Pike's Place fish market in Seattle. I did a double-take, walked right up and asked them in Spanish if they were from Otavalo, Ecuador. It was a lucky guess. Pena music is the traditional music of the Andean people through out South America (Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, among others.) Perhaps it was something in the shape of their faces I recognized. I had lived there a decade back and had visited Otavalo with friends who grew up there. This group of musicians were a friendly bunch. We kept in touch for several years.

Otavalo is a magical city, nestled in misty mountains and full of amazing craftspeople who spin colorful clothing. It is the cultural heart for the Quechua Indian culture. Many of the songs sung in Pena clubs are in the Quechua language, yet Atahualpa (the name of this band and also the producer of the CD) infuses a modern spirit into traditional musical roots. Not that such beautiful music needed to be modernized, but their warmth is infectious and their ability to communicate gracefully, work tirelessly and live within three vastly different cultures is reflected in their music. By three cultures, I mean that even in their own country, the Quechua people are seen as an ethnic minority (even when their population predominates and their lineage can be traced back for centuries.) They are separate in their own country by language, a modest lifestyle, and a culture that holds tightly to ancient traditions, religious practice, traditional foods and musical styles. This is no easy task as most of Latin America continues to modernize, and consequently be influenced by American popular culture and values.

A few of the songs have their lyrics on the CD sleeve in English and Spanish, invoking ancient tales of love, nature and mythical adventure. Their dedication explains it all: "We hope that this CD expresses well our feelings of dedication to love, natural equilibrium, and admiration of our ancestry- Imbaya people.... The songs we've created all have very special meaning to us and we hope that they will shed new light on the importance of music in our lives. The song Shamuilla welcomes you to our world, our culture, our people, our families, and expresses our great pride. Recuerdos de Otavalo is a song about memories of festivals in our area that unite racial and cultural groups. Kiruhuan Kuchahuan is an ancient tale of two lovers, a story that has been passed down for generations and reinforces the idea of strength in love. Enjoy our new creation. - Atahualpa

5 out of 5 stars Great songwriting and awesome vocals. true music.......2007-02-24

I saw Nicole perform live at the ParkWest in Chicago and was wondering who is this undiscovered talent headlining at this huge venue? I was blown away by her performance, she truly interacts with the audience and kept us laughing grooving and crying all nite. Bought 2 cds and cant wait for her next one. Far better than these oversaturated "signed" artist we are forced to hear on radio. The girl is AWESOME and what she sings about is awesome and the bonus...she has her own vibe!!!

4 out of 5 stars and im not even into electronica.......2005-07-22

ok im not usually into this type of music - im more of a rock, indie, alternative girl. however i saw these guys in concert and it was amazing - i didn't know any of their songs and i found myself dancing crazily to them. this prompted me to get their CD - i wasnt disappointed! even if you're not really into electronica/dance type music its worth checking this band out - i like their album, especially the songs 'girls can be cruel', 'better world' and 'the careless kind'.

4 out of 5 stars Electronic Disco of the 80's Meets Aussie NuBeat........2005-03-16

Around the time When Sasha & JD released, Depeche Mode's, "Enjoy the Silence" remix in 2001, a spark was lit, not previously recognized by elecronic fans. 80's craze. In the past fours years Hybird has remixed REM, Tears for Fears has been done by Cass and Skylark and even Brothers in Rhythm, and Depeche Mode has been remixed by everyone.

Enter Infusion, with their own style and amalgamation between the tempo and mood of the 80's and the elecronic equipment almost three decades later. The stream of influences in the CD is incredible. As mentioned above, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, and even Crystal Method. Don't be fooled though; this isn't 80's/early 90's europop. It's got some hardas$ elements at work.

For those of you heavy into the electronica scene you probably have heard a couple different versions of some of the songs on this CD mixed into sets by Luke Chable, Sean Quinn, and Adam Freeland. Ergo, this CD presents Some great foundation tracks I'm sure you'll continue to hear in many aussie progressive sets.

For those of you not so into the electronic scene, I'm not usually into semi-alternative vocals during breakbeat, but Infusion pulls it off without decadance or verbal dominance. Lyrical themes are good, especially in the song, "girls can be cruel," where frustrations are vented with poetic anger.

I was fairly suprised by the quality of some ambient tracks intersperced throughout the second half of this CD, and found them welcome breaks from the intense style this group employs.

Overall, a pleasing mix, for those with a heavy taste for Europop and Disco. Modern 'dirty' synth satisfies on a lot of levels, and melodic builds also contribute to an overall sense of great production.

Four Stars (Compared with what is available as far as Vinyl.)
Five Stars (Compared with commercially sold Breakbeat.)

3 out of 5 stars Impressive for Electro Pop.......2006-07-07

I have to admit, this album is a lot better than I expected. If you enjoy really cathy & energetic electro, I'd recommend checking this out. It's nothing to give 4 or 5 stars (in my opinion) but I'm glad I bought it. My favorite tracks are Better World, The Careless Kind, Girls Can Be Cruel and Natural. A few others are pretty good, too. My main complaint is that some of the instrumental tracks get too repetitive. If they learn how to keep the variety constant throughout the whole album and avoid annoying repetition, they can become a truly incredible band. No doubt.

4 out of 5 stars Once you've seen them live..........2006-01-25

You might not like this album, but as a whole Infusion is a forward thinking, innovative, FUN group of electronic music makers. Alas, once you have seen them live (as ALL of it - including vocals is live) it's hard to listen to them in your car. All in all a good show of some easy listening rock-tronica

Maybe their next album will really be inspired!

3 out of 5 stars Okay, but not the sound I'm used to.......2005-10-01

I am a really big fan of Infusion's remixes... They all have a very distinct sound that is very fresh and different from a lot of other artists. When I heard this album for the first time I was taken aback. It was not anything like what I was expecting. A lot more pop oriented I guess. I guess if you like goldfrapp or something like that you'd probably enjoy this album, but I can't really get into it that much. As I own the import version of of it, I think the second disc would almost be worth buying this copy for the Adam Freeland and Evil 9 remixes... unless I can get them on iTunes.

2 out of 5 stars Thought It Would Be Better.......2005-09-20

This album was available for sampling at a listening station at a record store, and something about the minimalist cover and rave reviews on the sticker intrigued me. So I checked it out, and I tried not to let the fact that one side of the headphones didn't work so I'd have to hear it in mono taint my opinion. The first track, "Better World", rocked and was reminiscent of The Faint, which is a good thing. I continued sampling the 2nd and 3rd songs and I thought I was onto discovering a hidden gem - a good album with a bonus disc containing remixes!

I ordered it, and when it arrived in the mail, I immediately threw it on. Again, the first song sounded great, however after really listening to it, I realized that there wasn't much substance to it after all. I wanted to give the album a chance, so I let it play all of the way through, and I was disappointed to hear that the energy level with each passing song continued to decline as it progressed towards the end of the album.

It got to the point where by track 7 ("Invisible"), I was like, "What the heck?!!" A listless meandering ambient song when I thought this was a party! I like mixing it up a bit and can handle some diversity, but that's not good when I'm not completely hooked yet. Too much diversity can tend to alientate someone. Things picked back up on the very next track, "Best In Show" (which actually contains elements of "Satellite" by BT), but then the next song "Rattlewasp" is an instrumental rock/dance song, and by this point, my patience had already been spent.

And I'm not one of those people who look for the "edited" versions of albums because they can't handle a swear word in a song, but the line, "I'm getting sick of your s**t" in "Girls Can Be Cruel" (which I agree with the sentiment, by the way), I just felt like it was an attempt to be irreverent; thus to me, it came across as forced and unnecessary.

I checked out the remixes, but they didn't do much for me since I wasn't that taken with the original versions of the songs.

If they came out with something else, I'd probably check them out because in all fairness, they do have a few good songs, but there would have to be more "oomph" to get me want to add this to my collection (I'm giving this album away). Maybe this is the type of album that could grow on you. But for me, the interest to let that happen just wasn't there.

5 out of 5 stars Great album.......2005-09-18

I really like this album. The previous reviewer already made a number of great points, so I have little to add. The only thing I wanted to say is that the album "Ultra Music Festival 01"'s 14th track by Infusion, titled "Legacy (Junkie XL version)", is possibly the groups best effort, and well worth purchasing if you like this album.

5 out of 5 stars Satisfied? Very... (4.5 stars).......2007-01-25

I bought this disc on a whim off ebay (one cent CD's, so I thought I'd take a chance). It was one of the best purchasing decisions I've ever made. The reviews below explain what this is- jazzy flamenco (instrumental of course) in a live setting. But don't be concerned, the production is terrific and the instruments are pure, clear, deep and intimate with your ears. Really a great album for your collection. Everyone I've shared this with agrees that this is essential. It's only a few bucks, so take a shot. you wont be dissapointed.

5 out of 5 stars better every time.......2000-12-13

wow, this is one of the few cd's that get's better every time you hear it. the tunes are a beutifull, energetic, soothing blend of flamenco and jazz that is intricate and melodic. I really recomend it, it's amazing.
