“Five Mix Colors use black music in all of its variants to decorate songs full of colourful sounds. From progressive funk to jazz, through hip-hop and B movie soundtracks. Their third album, Sketches On The Board, entirely produced and edited by the band, gives us enough clues to verify that the work that began with their first record “This is Spectral Jazz” (2001), and continued 3 years later with “Urban Beatz” (Tsunami Records 2004), reaches its point of maximum expressiveness and musical (re)evolution. Thus, this record closes a trilogy where funk and groove are the common denominators.

Six years after they were awarded the top prize at the prestigious contest “Pop-Rock Villa de Bilbao", Five Mix Colors have shown from his lab that good and innovative proposals, like those of Sketches On The Board, can still be created. This is definitely a much more visceral album than its predecessors, in which machines have been taken over by a range of more humane sounds, showing what these guys are really like: a bunch with loads of personal and musical sensitivity.”

Boring

23/12/08

OK, sorry to write this, but this music is quite repetitive, same notes again and again... The musicians are playing well, but... nothing special, no virtuosity. The singers definitely should not sing.

The feeling of wholeness is missing.

Vocals detract from the quality of the album

It's nice music, I would have given it four stars if it would have been restricted to instrumental music, the addition of the vocals really detract from the quality of the album for me.
