5 out of 5 stars Tip-top.......2007-07-06

This has to currently be the best stoner-rock band going right now... fat, fuzzy guitar riffs... great singing... cool lyrics... original songs. If you even just kind-of like stoner-rock, this album is a must-have. These guys are easily better than 95% of their stoner-rock competition, and wwwaaaaaayyyyy better than anything being played on corporate-controlled rock and roll radio today. Original. Unique. The best. Highest recommendation.

5 out of 5 stars EXQUISITE RAWK.......2007-02-25

this album is incredible, i just got it today & every song is fluid & excellent. i listen to a good amount of metal but won't ever turn my nose up at a solid rock band. this band just makes me happy, the songs are melodic, driving, the singing isn't annoying at all, and i think anybody who listens to any genre of rock (except that repulsive emo trash) will enjoy it. i also recommend the mars volta, queens of the stone age, early man, the knives, seemless, sahara hotnights, and the sword. thanks for reading, a truckfighter wouldn't steer you wrong ;>

5 out of 5 stars For ALL you Stoner Rock Fans...........2007-02-22

This Cd is a must have. Don't worry about not being able to hear any samples hear, just get and you won't be dissapointed. I have no regrets with this one. Better than Dozer, Fu Manchu, Kyuss, QOTSA, Halfway to Gone, Mastodon, ect... . These guys will punch you the gut and you will be like "Wow man, that was beautiful could you do that again." I hope you find this disc.

5 out of 5 stars Thank God the Swedes like stoner rock.......2006-03-05

Though there are still several bands in the states that make excellent contributions to this underated and broad genre of music we call stoner rock (QOTSA, Monster Magnet, Fu Manchu, Nebula etc...), if you are looking for bands that really need to be added to the ranks of solid stoner contributers look no further than Truckfighters. I bought this CD the other day while picking up the new Nebula CD. In fack I had never even heard of them before, but the reviews shown on the CD looked promising. I am so glad I spent the cash to pick this up. I fell in love with their music immediately.

4 out of 5 stars Multicultural Promise with a solid (but not stellar) payoff.......2003-05-16

Al-pha X (aka Declan Flynn) does his piece for multiculturalism with his studio project, Gravity. Many of the tracks are availible on the "Arabica" anthologies, also published by Bar-de-lune.

Middle eastern muezzin calls rising from an electronic drone starts off the first track, savvily titled "First Transmission". There, Flynn's sampling and studio prowess comes to the front with a bobbing groove, punctuated with distinctly arabic flavored fiddle. A strong cut.

From there the album changes pace into "Hojar". Slower and reliant on a strong bass groove, this track also merges in a flavor of dulcimer weaving in and out of the electronics. Next up, "Mad Keys" speeds things up slightly but is by no means in a hurry to get anywhere. Male and female vocals parry in enhancement of Flynn's dreamy synths.

"Blue Jay" and "Punjaabi Love Affair" are further (Indian) branches on Flynn's influence tree. Don't be afraid, Al-pha X uses just enough of these influences to flavor the music while he keeps a good steady beat behind all of this to keep the mood going.

"Thai Ways" is an innocuous sitar-mandolin accented piece that again, just meanders but never grates too sharply. "Mi Corazon" and it's remix are yet another cultural turn into flamenco/Andalusian turf. Not my favorite tracks as Flynn and co. seemingly retrace ground already covered, although I admire Flynn's willingness to keep my interest with the genre changes. He's a one-man cultural sampler.

"Vermeo" slows down to almost dirge tempo and much of the instrumentation and the female vocals have enough reverb on them to sound as if they were recorded in a wind tunnel. I would like this track better if it were cleaned up a bit. "Mission Not Impossible" is a moderate tempo, gaelic-middle eastern sampler worthy of Afro-Celt Sound System. Not a bad group to emulate.

The title track, "Gravity" is a latin percussion flavored number that actually has Flynn himself singing. His voice is surprisingly sweet and he uses it to good effect in the pop-hook laden chorus. I hear an influence of BT in this track. Wrapping things up, "The Wedding Song" is a mid-tempo visit back to reverb-land. Too much reverb does not equal a dreamy, floating sound; it just gets too muddled in some places.

Warning: this is an "enhanced" cd. Bar-de-lune includes some extras on this disc that I cannot comment on. Why? Because they botched the implementation when they burned the disc. At least on my system (using Windoze XP; I know, I know, there's half the problem right there!) the files were inaccessable. Contact with Bar-de-lune's multimedia designer, Glass-eye, was next-to-useless, after a generic response that led me to believe their customer service group doesn't even know what is on the disc and couldn't be bothered to look, let alone how to fix the problem. A response along the lines of "be grateful the music plays" while insisting it runs _fine_ on their version of XP is about all one can expect from that lot.

Music only: 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 out of 5.
Multimedia: 0 stars; Glass-eye gets the finger.

5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking.......2003-02-04

Best of the Bar De Lune label's artists, this CD is absolutely wonderful. Artistry, instrumentation, production: end-to-end this is an absolute winner. If only all music was this good, you wouldn't see music sales slmuping, year over year. I'm an audiophile, and find new intracacies in the music on this disk, every time I listen to it. It conveys so many moods. This is, far and away, the best album I bought in 2002. (FYI: Bryan Ferry's latest comes in a close second.) BUY THIS AND ENJOY IT. WORTH EVERY PENNY, AGAIN AND AGAIN.

5 out of 5 stars What's wrong with you people!?!?!?!?.......2005-11-03

This is one of the best stoner rock albums since the glory days...it's so nice to hear smooth hard rock'n'roll!

It's such a shame that this hasn't been reviewed yet, the world is missing out because people are too naive to look further than MTV for their music...
this is truly some of the most creative and satisfying music on the face of the earth. This album is 100% all the way through.

These guys deserve way more recognition...wake up people, real rock'n'roll is timeless, and these guys know it all too well!

A wise choice.
