It's really not common to find such a varied album, even on Jamendo. I don't think I've ever heard such a collection of styles and genres on one small album! Almost everything is a long way out of my experience, but not comfort zone, and has introduced me to quite a few new styles which I'll be able to explore further from here. There is a real flow through the entire set of tracks which accentuates The TenGooz's bizarre and amazing style.
My personal favourite two tracks are probably Mary-Mack and Mio Mine, which are extremely funky, fun and catchy - I find myself singing them constantly! Having said that, the opening The Chills is also rather haunting and slick - It sounds like a spaced-out 'Back in '72' era Bob Seger. The rest of the album is difficult to place alongside another artist, as the styles are not ones I am really familiar with. Perhaps a more upbeat and happier Space.
The cover is also rather eyecatching and amusing, and seems to encapture the entire style of The TenGooz, both in its drole design and flowing, spacey colours.
According to The TenGooz's personal description of this album, this is intended to mimic the sound of the band live. If that's the case, then it'd be very good - I can certainly see these guys playing small jazz venues or open air festivals quite happily!
All in all, it's a remarkable album, but almost too varied to pin it down to the supreme refinement of an excellent style.
