The second album from England's Mojave 3 finds the band congealing around leader Neil Halstead's vision of the sun-baked American West--an odd evolution considering the group's core emerged from Slowdive, a band more indebted to the Cocteau Twins than the Meat Puppets. While Mojave 3 are still creating pop music that is both lush and dreamy, the songs on Out of Tune seem to float across the desert on a wave of broadly strummed guitars, gorgeous vocal melodies, and surging, suggestive organ parts. Underlying it all is an aching, neocountry feel that makes tunes like the opener, "Who Do You Love," seem grounded even while they hover just off the ground. --S. Duda

Product Description

4 out of 5 stars It deserved better.......2007-07-05

I've often wondered if I'm the only person alive who saw "Seesaw!" It's been sadly neglected. Michele Lee was wonderful, and it was a great introduction to a guy named Tommy Tune.. The music is very enjoyable. Highly recommended for Broadway show lovers!

5 out of 5 stars SEESAW (1973 ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST).......2007-01-27

I SAW THIS SHOW AND LOVED EVERY MOMENT. I TILL REMEMBER HOW MUCH FUN I HAD. I WAS IN COLLEGE AT THE TIME AND HAD THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IT AGAIN. THE SCORE IS WONDERFUL, TUNEFUL AND MEMORABLE.

1 out of 5 stars A Broadway nadir........2004-09-14

With all due respect to Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields, both of whom made major contributions to the Broadway canon, this must be one of the weakest musical scores ever committed to vinyl. Worst of all, it bears no relation to the poignant two-character play on which it is based. Just who was it who wanted that tender little play to be enhanced by a big campy production number starring Tommy Tune?

4 out of 5 stars Michele Lee sings Cy Coleman's most underrated score.......2004-01-28

SEESAW was a musical version of William Gibson's rueful comedy-drama TWO FOR THE SEESAW, which originally starred Anne Bancroft. For the musical version, the leading lady was the delightful Michele Lee (BRAVO GIOVANNI) who earned a Tony nomination for her performance.

The Cy Coleman-Dorothy Fields score includes great numbers like "Nobody Does It Like Me", "In Tune" and the 11 o'clock number "Poor Everybody Else".

The supporting cast includes the always-reliable Tommy Tune, as well as Ken Howard, Cecelia Norfleet and LaMonte DesFontaines.

Highly-recommended for fans of Broadway musicals as well as the incantory Miss Michele Lee. [DRG CDRG6108]

4 out of 5 stars This Seesaw is merely quirky fun.......1999-08-22

Cy Coleman's Seesaw overture is a wonderful start to a wonderfully breezy CD. Most of the chorus numbers are very poor ( Spanglish, Ride Out the Storm), but the spotlighted Michele Lee, Ken Howard, and Tommy Tune are preserved fantastically. Michele Lee's husky voice is capable of making your heart soar and break at the same time. Her comedic timing is wonderful (Welcome to Holiday Inn), her down-on-her-luck song is perfection(Nobody Does It Like Me), and Poor Everybody Else will have you rooting for Michele instantly. Ken Howard is truly a Lovable Lunatic. And Tommy Tune's Tony Award winning performance is captured here with "It's Not Where You Start." It is typically Coleman music, but he is wonderfully aided with Dorothy Fields's lyrics. If you can find it for a discount, don't resist!

5 out of 5 stars Irresistible.......2005-07-29

From beginning to end this CD is pure delight. A great recording has great music, a great performance, and great sound; this one scores on all three counts.

Rodgers and Hammerstein's musicals dominated Broadway in the 1940s and 1950s, and American musical theater has produced no more consistently eloquent and durable voice than Richard Rodgers. From his fertile genius flowed a surprising number of memorable songs, many of which have passed into and become an accepted and beloved part of modern American culture.

This well-filled CD (77:36) features symphonic arrangements (all but two by Robert Russell Bennett) of the music from Oklahoma (1943), Carousel (1945), State Fair (1945), South Pacific (1949), The King and I (1951), Flower Drum Song (1958), and The Sound of Music (1959). All the great tunes are here in suites from each musical that average 10-12 minutes in length. The arrangements are expert: rich, varied, and colorful. The performances are polished, idiomatic, and irresistible; Kunzel and this orchestra are thorough masters of this kind of material. And Telarc's sound (recorded 1991) is state-of-the-art (engineer Michael Bishop deserves to take a bow).

In short, there's nothing here to cloud your listening pleasure (the only quibble I can imagine is that some of your favorites may not last long enough), so it's hard for me to envision anyone with ears and a taste for music who wouldn't enjoy this CD. Warmly recommended. Finally, if you like this one as much as I do, you might want to know that the same team has produced a companion volume, the Lerner & Lowe Songbook for Orchestra.

5 out of 5 stars "Some Enchanted Evening" with Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops.......2003-12-26

Erich Kunzel's Rodgers and Hammerstein anthology with the Cincinatti Pops Orchestra is one of the best and most ravishing instrumental Rodgers and Hammerstein albums of all time. With sumptuous arrangements and warm, natural Telarc recording, this glorious 77-minute CD presents sweeping, melodic arrangements of over 60 Rodgers and Hammerstein selections, spanning eight scores, and Kunzel allows the Pops to play with a characterful and polished understanding of the Rodgers and Hammerstein idiom. The disc is enough to cheer you up on a dull day and make you smile, and it might even want to make you feel like a convert to Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals.

This CD has all the scores arranged chronologically. The OKLAHOMA! suite that opens this disc promises a feast for the senses, Kunzel ably evokes the territory's "bright, golden haze" in the way he conducts the various excerpts, until you feel the atmosphere of the country charm of the show, and the love-affair between Curly and Laurey. Then, in CAROUSEL, he ably evokes the pathos of this tragic R&H masterwork, especially in the truncated Waltz, but he leads a wonderfully melodic "June is Bustin' Out All Over" and a devotional "You'll Never Walk Alone." Although this suite does not include Billy's pivotal Soliloquy, it includes "If I Loved You" as an expression of his love for Julie, and within minutes you could be soaked in the ups and downs of the show's mood.

After a brief STATE FAIR suite, with sweeping renditions of "It Might As Well Be Spring" and "It's a Grand Night for Singing", we are brought into the disc's showstopping highlights. These highlights are the excerpts from SOUTH PACIFIC, THE KING AND I, and THE SOUND OF MUSIC. But yet Kunzel conducts the rest of the disc until the various suites amount to a series of showstoppers. These three suites present wonderfully-arranged versions of their many familiar classic songs, with well-played solos. The SOUTH PACIFIC suite presents the songs in chronological order, yet preserves the atmosphere of the show at the same time. Kunzel ably brings out the romance in "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Younger than Springtime," and contrasts it with the exotic and dreamlike "Bali Hai'i" and the comic "There is Nothing like a Dame" and "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair". Although the suite ends quietly with a reprise of "Dites-Moi" rather than the reprise of "Some Enchanted Evening," within minutes we are swept into the KING AND I suite. Kunzel ably brings out the Oriental pathos in this score, and he captures the warmth of Anna's rapport with the King's Siamese children in "Getting to Know You", and with the King himself in "Shall We Dance." There is also romance in the love ballads "I Have Dreamed" and "We Kiss in a Shadow." Similarly, in the selection from THE SOUND OF MUSIC, Kunzel conducts this until the orchestra soaks itself in the atmosphere of this Austrian R&H score. This SOUND OF MUSIC suite has more of a feel of the score compared to the bonus track on Sony's reissued version of the Broadway recording. You can almost feel as if you are following the progress of the Trapp family and how it lifts its spirits with the joy of music. Kunzel gives us a soaring version of the title song, and spirited versions of "Do-Re-Mi" and "My Favourite Things." He balances it with the open-air quality of "Edelweiss" and "The Lonely Goatherd." Although this suite could have included "Something Good," the love ballad written for the film, the three recollections of the songs that were cut from the movie only last for a while. And, the towering version of "Climb Every Mountain" crowns this portion of the disc, and this sumptuously-produced recording. But, I should also mention the infectuous FLOWER DRUM SONG medley, where Kunzel turns this underrated score into a work of art, until it convinces you to buy the cast recording. And, don't forget about the brief CINDERELLA WALTZ, too, when Kunzel conducts it magically, until you feel like you are in the company of Cinderella and the Prince. He is able to show how this R&H score marked a comeback for R&H after the failiures of Me and Juliet, and Pipe Dream.

Overall, this glorious Rodgers and Hammerstein recording is guarunteed to make you want to pucker your lips out for a whistle or sing along (to paraphrase another revew for Kunzel's Disney Spectacular disc) - even if this recording is music only, and as long as you know the words to the songs (and you might know a large handful of them already.) There is always a certain magic in this fine CD that makes you feel like you're sitting in the theatre watching these musicals, until it makes you feel like it is truly, to borrow two R&H song titles, "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Something Wonderful" to be in Kunzel's company for this R&H offering. It would certainly be one recording that could make you feel willing to buy the complete cast recordings of the shows. And I guaruntee that it will make you feel willing to pull out your existing copies of the cast recordings to listen to them again. I also guaruntee that it will be a cornerstone in any Rodgers and Hammerstein collection, just as it is in mine. Recommended heartily to any Rodgers and Hammerstein enthusiast and to fans of Erich Kunzel's work. And, you can play it while reading the Richard Rodgers biography, Musical Stages, until Rodgers himself would count this as his favourite disc in the afterlife.

By the way, most of the arrangements for the suites on this CD were done by the veteran R&H orchestrator Robert Russell Bennett, and it surely adds to the appeal of this recording. This itself is enough to amount to the icing on the cake, since Kunzel conducts them well on here, and since this recording still allows the suites to have the original theatrical atmosphere. And, although this recording is like the Mauceri collection of the Rodgers & Hammerstein overtures in compiling orchestral suites of Rodgers & Hammerstein, I think that I like the Kunzel recording even more because Kunzel has more magic in his conducting of these suites.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2003-04-08

This is one of the best Erich Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops collections we own! A must for Rodgers and Hammerstein fans, too.

    Brazilian-born beatmeister Amon Tobin unleashes another genre-imploding and totally killer album (his fourth) with Out from Out Where. Darker, harder-edged, and less jazzy than its predecessor, Supermodified, the album's mood is actually closest to his debut. Out Where is dense and playful in its own ominous horror-soundtrack-with-beats manner, the post-jungle beats lovingly fractured and reconstituted in a way that simultaneously dizzies and makes one's head bob up and down in time. This album reminds the listener that it's possible to be experimental and accessible at the same time. Parts of Out Where sound like a late night pow-wow of lounge lovers Kruder & Dorfmeister, electronic genius Nobukazu Takemura, and DJ Food the cut-up kid. And while the lovely yet menacing Asian car chase music of "Searchers" might have you wondering whatever did happen to Photek, the album truly sounds like nobody else. Each track has actual surprises, and the disc just gets better with repeated plays. Huzzah! --Mike McGonigal

    Album Description

    5 out of 5 stars TAKES YOU PLACES.......2005-04-30

    This CD really takes you places, starting with 'Back From Space'. This is my favourite track. The name suits it pretty well. Verbal is a nice tune. It doens't really fit in that well with the rest of the CD, but that isn't at all a bad thing. The song is great. The entire CD is excellent. The only song I found a little hard to like was Triple Science. It was a little too congested for me. I'll give it some more listens though, maybe that will help. I say if you like ambient/d n' b, you've got to pick this up. If you like this, The splinter Cell Soundtrack by Amon Tobin is another great album. You don't even have to like the game. Trust me.

    1 out of 5 stars Not a big fan.......2005-01-14

    It's not that I can't appreciate the programming skills of Amon Tobin, I just don't like this music. Besides, it looks like most of the reviews given to this album on this site are all from his fans. So I wanted to give the other perspective. Don't let anyone tell you this is d'n'b, cuz its not. There a few tunes with quicker beats but these songs could all be classified as downtempo industrial. They're all about 80 bpm, and have the "banging on a steel barrel in a warehouse" feel, and are all somewhat atmospheric. In the first song, he shamelessly rips off Tomita's awesome electronic cover of Claire de Lune. He gives the song its own title, but it should have been titled as a remix. So there you have it, the other perspective.

    4 out of 5 stars Pretty good Instrumental album.......2004-10-05

    This album has some hardcore dance beats that are nice for rappers that sound very underground feel you can Freestyle to.This is a nice album and my Favorite tracks were-Back from Space-Searchers-Rosies and El Wraif this stuff is nice.

    Amon Tobin- an artist in his own realm. Creative, fantasy driven, hallucinagen, smooth, abrupt. Mixing different chemicals to create an all around unique and fresh sound upon every album, while maintaining the flavor that is strictly his own. This music is in my mind perfect for soundtracks. I write, I only write good stuff while listening to Amon Tobin. I recommend not one, but all of the albums. Creativity at its best.

    The second album from England's Mojave 3 finds the band congealing around leader Neil Halstead's vision of the sun-baked American West--an odd evolution considering the group's core emerged from Slowdive, a band more indebted to the Cocteau Twins than the Meat Puppets. While Mojave 3 are still creating pop music that is both lush and dreamy, the songs on Out of Tune seem to float across the desert on a wave of broadly strummed guitars, gorgeous vocal melodies, and surging, suggestive organ parts. Underlying it all is an aching, neocountry feel that makes tunes like the opener, "Who Do You Love," seem grounded even while they hover just off the ground. --S. Duda

    Album Description

    1998 & second album by British alternative act formed by former Slowdive members Rachel Goswell (vocals), Neil Halstead (vocals, guitar) and Ian McCutcheon (drums). Nine tracks, including the singles 'Who Do You Love' & 'Some Kinda Angel'. A 4AD release.

    3 out of 5 stars my favorite.......2005-07-02

    a mistake occured! I definitely give this album 5 stars.I love this band, beautiful melodies,voices and harmonies as well as great instruments and arrangments. This is the first one I got and still my favorite, though I gotta admit "ask me tomorrow" which I got recently is growing on me (close second). Both albums have no bad songs (I admire that, always). I'm just in love with the deep organ on this one, wish the following albums included it as much of it.Anyways, I've listened to "out of tune" to death and still love every song! Some songs on the two following cds I find excellent too, but they each contain 1 or 2 songs I don't care for, so I say get this one for sure, it's impeccable,but don't bypass anything this band does, though, they're great, if you like slow melodic music.

    4 out of 5 stars Brit pop goes the weasel..........2003-06-24

    I don't know exactly where I stand on the whole 'shoegazer' scene (what's left of it, anyway), but there's one thing I can't deny; the influencees have definitely surpassed the influences (VU, Nick Drake, The Cure, Cocteau Twins, JAMC), and the world is much better for it.

    "Out of tune" contains a number of tunes that should be country classics (but likely never will be; more's the pity). "Yer Feet", "Who Do You Love", and my favourite--the gospel-tinged "Caught Beneath Your Heel"--are as good as anything the band released as Slowdive, and in some ways, even better.

    Now this album's the goods--they've picked up a bit of confidence, and we've got a sophomore album that improves on the debut "Ask Me Tomorrow" and then some. Recorded around the same time as this album are a few live radio sessions, and they do a great cover of Dylan's "Queen Jane Approximately".

    3 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2001-12-07

    I'm a big fan of Mojave 3, but found this album to be a lot worse than "Ask Me Tomorrow" and "Excuses For Travellers". Sure, some of the songs like "Some Kinda Angel" and "To Whom Should I Write" are classics, but most of the others just seem un-inspired, kinda like they just put them down in a hurry to pump the album out. Start with either "Ask Me Tomorrow" or "Excuses For Travellers" if you want to start with Mojave 3.

    4 out of 5 stars folk music for disgruntled lovers..........2001-09-12

    Make no mistake, Mojave 3's second album does not return to the beautifully noisy Slowdive sound so beloved by the shoegazing set. If anything, the albums orchestrations have swelled even more magnificently, brewing horns and farfisa on several tracks and almost totally removing Rachel Goswell's vocal input (she does not sing lead at all, after doing so on half the tracks of the previous album.) While Rachel's voice is perhaps sorely missed, "Out Of Tune" is still a majestic triumph. This is acoustic, starstruck folk music for disgruntled lovers, filled with unrealized dreams, but still ultimately hopefull. Neil Halstead has certainly been getting drunk with Nick Drake's ghost, (compare "All Your Tears" to Drake's "Hazey Jane 1,") and most likely has a copy of Dylan's "Highway 61", (listen to the album's closing track,) but Goswells' Mazzy Star-ish musings have vanished, and Mojave 3 are starting to define their own sound, having put out a gorgeous lump of sugar. Suggestion: try ending that mix tape you're making for your girlfried with the sublime "Yer Feet."

    3 out of 5 stars what happened?.......2000-06-24

    This is not a bad album, but it seems like a step in the wrong direction when compared to their brilliant "Ask Me Tomorrow." If you loved the melancholic beauty of that first album, you probably won't find much of it here. The words are still there but Neil hogs the mic on every track and Rachel's voice is reduced to backing vocals. The result sounds like a songwriter's sad attempt at singing.

    I just listened to their third album "Excuses for Travelers" and it seems like another step in the same wrong direction.

    5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Debut Album!.......2004-10-13

    "Nicely Out of Tune" was Lindisfarne's 1970 debut-album. Lindisfarne's music is catchy folk-inspired music; maybe it could be described as a British version of Lovin' Spoonful's good-time music.

    Lovin'Spoonful had John Sebastian and Lindisfarne had Alan Hull; both great singers and songwriters. Hull contributes 7 of the original album's 11 songs, and he is obviously the dominating personality in the band. Songs like "Lady Eleanor", "Winter Song", "Scarecrow Song" and "We Can Swing Together" are simply outstanding.

    "Turn a Deaf Ear" written by Rab Noakes is another highlight; actually there are no weak tracks on the album. Rod Clements, another fine song-writer in the band, wrote two of the songs and especially "Road to Kingdom" is great and a Lindisfarne classic.

    The two bonus tracks are good, but no more than that.

    "Nicely out of Tune" and the follow-up, "Fog on the Tyne", are the two most consistent Lindisfarne albums, and both are highly recommendable.

    5 out of 5 stars Nicely out of Mott.......2004-07-16

    Newcastle upon Tyne, England, over the years has given us some of the greats of the rock world, 'The Animals', 'The Police', and 'Geordie' to name but a few (well, perhaps Geordie weren't as great, but they did give us Brian Johnston, lead singer with AC/DC today). None of these bands were greater than 'Lindisfarne' especially in the early seventies. In fact, in the polls carried out in 1972 by the leading English musical paper Melody Maker they were the number one band in Britain, with the Rolling Stones coming second, and Pink Floyd third.

    Lindisfarne's rise to fame was as spectacular as their falling back to the ranks of the second division. It all started in 1969, in the folk clubs of Newcastle, when the very talented folk music singer/songwriter Alan Hull decided to try a few of his songs with a backing band. So he called upon his pals in a band called Bretheren (that is the correct spelling) for a few gigs and to record an album which was finally released under the marvelous moniker "Take Off Your Head And Listen".

    But a re-think was in order and they re-christened to `Lindisfarne'. They made their debut at Newcastle City Hall in July 1970, and then, before the end of the year, released this album plus single 'Lady Eleanor' (a song that sounds like a love song, but is actually about a certain lady vampire) on the newly formed Charisma record label, along with other such upstarts at the time like 'Steamhammer', 'Van Der Graf Generator', 'Audience ', and a little theatrical rock band called 'Genesis'. Some of these bands became household names; some are now just a distant memory.

    At first, sales were limited to the north-east of England, but that all changed the following year when the band started non-stop touring. By the summer they were playing at all the major festivals. They had released their second album `Fog on the Tyne', which debuted on the U.K chart at number one, and had a number five hit single with the Rod Clements penned 'Meet Me On The Corner', on the strength of which Charisma rush-re-released 'Lady Eleanor'. This time it roared up the charts and was quickly followed by a re-appearance of `Nicely Out Of Tune' in the album charts. But it is still 'Nicely Out Of Tune' that was their finest hour.

    Of the eleven songs that were put on the original album, nine were written by Alan Hull. Songs Alan had been singing on the folk club circuit for years, but now had been given extra sharpness and clarity by his Geordie mates gathered around him. We also get one song from Rod Clements and one from band mate Rab Noakes. All of Lindisfarne were multi instrumentalists, so there was always plenty of swapping of instruments on stage.

    There are protest songs mixed in with love songs, ballads, and kick up your heels barn dances. But through it all there is a feeling of fun and kindred spirit. Alan Hull singing 'The Winter Song' would send shivers down any spine. 'Clear White Light Part Two' is the first song Lindisfarne ever played together, and was the final encore when they once and for all called it a day at their final concert November 1st, 2003 - naturally at the Newcastle City Hall.

    Listening to it today, it still sounds as fresh as it did thirty five years ago. 'We Can Swing Together', although written by Alan Hull, is a showcase for the voice and harmonica playing of Ray Jackson. You cannot help but sway to the rhythm, sing along with the chorus, all the time punching your fist in the air. In concert 'We Can Swing Together' would be spread out to over twenty minutes of zany musical madness.

    Rod Clements only contributes one song to the original collection, a song of unrequited love, 'The Things I Should Of Said'. Fortunately one of Rod's songs that was used as a B-side to a single has been included here as a bonus track. 'Knackers Yard Blues', a song on the misery of getting older, which includes the lines:

    "I bought some pictures to hang on my wall,
    but like a changin' so I moved them all,
    but nothing ever changes in the human race,
    I can get another mirror, but it's still the same old face."

    Lindisfarne's time at the top of the rock 'n' roll tree was limited. In fact, one more album after 'Fog On The Tyne', 'Dingly Dell', the band split in two in 1973. Alan Hull and Ray Jackson recruited new musicians and carried on with the Lindisfarne name, while Rod Clements, Ray Laidlaw, and Simon Cowe formed the aptly named 'Jack The Lad'. They later reformed, but the initial magic was gone. Anyway, by then Charisma were taking a bit more interest of those chaps in Genesis.

    However, for English folk/rock at its absolute best, look no further than this Lindisfarne's first album.

      4 out of 5 stars Where have they been all my life?.......2000-10-03

      Four years ago, I heard Freak Power while visiting my brother in Geneva. I liked it so much he made me a tape that listened to ceaselessly. Unfortunately, upon returning to the U.S. and desperately wanting to own the CD, I found that not a single store owned a copy of either album these guys put out ("More of everything...For everybody," and ""Drive-Thru Boot"). I even checked music stores in Vancouver and Toronto during a cross-country trip throughout North America, to no avail. To make a long and boring story short, I finally found copies of both albums (imports, which I generally try avoid due to their inexplicably outlandish price) and gorged myself on Freak Power's power.

      Just so you know, the only reason I gave this album, which is a best-song amalgam of the two, a four is because their sound is now a little outdated (as can insinuated by a mere reference to the fact that Fat Boy Slim USED to produce their work, and that they are often mistaken for the Getaway People and G-Love). Despite these trivialities, Freak Power has a sound and style that will always lift a lover of funky, optimistic beats and lyrics to a place where people dance, sing-long, or just sit down and chill out with a smile drawn lazily across their faces. All the tracks on this album refuse to stray far from the boundries of quality, inevitable making the album consistently enjoyable and skip-ahead-free.

      If, like me, you want an album overlooked by the masses, yet capable of being enjoyed by all, then consider yourself lucky enough to have read this and buy it. You don't even have to leave the country.

      5 out of 5 stars The Power of The Freak.......2000-08-28

      This is an upbeat albumn that really sets its own funk rhythm. With lyrics refering to the book "Electric Kool Aid Acid Test" (by Tom Wolfe), each song has a beat and a story of its own. If you want something fun, light and downright FUNKY to listen to - this is the albumn for you!

      5 out of 5 stars Turn On Tune In and Feel Good!.......2000-08-26

      This CD is hot! It is awesome music that puts you in a good mood automatically with its upbeat tempo and smooth sounds. Many of the sounds and lyrics are different than American stuff so it's fun to have some variety in a music collection. It's also fun to rock out and sing along with the songs. I recommend this CD to anyone who wants to put some groove in thier step.

      the only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the second half or third third drags for me a little. i was introduced to up, bustle + out by a ninja/xen sampler. i definitely enjoy the album and would recommend it to those who do and don't know the work.

      5 out of 5 stars Great Album for Trippin' and Chillin'.......2003-11-22

      Great album from a consistently great band. This is from back when they were a big group. (Now they're just a couple or three guys who work with other musicians an album at a time.) The basic idea is incorporation of music from all over the world with fantastic electronica beats (not ordinary lame stuff, but really organic). Add a bit of Latin American Revolutionary fervor and worldly awareness. Stir in the perspective of these guys from the same town in the UK that Portishead and Massive Attack come from.

      Some tracks are more traditional, others have a more electronica beat.

      Despite the UK-world music link, the merging of cultures is really respectful. I like these guys so much that I went to amazon.uk to get their latest release (Urban Evacuation), which isn't available in the States. Great track on this album: Mr. Pavement Man.

      This whole album reminds me of psychedelic visions I had looking south from the pyramids towards the Sahara, with Osirus and Isis looming starlike in the sky. But your milage may vary. Anyway, good album.
