It Works

09/01/08

The balance of the raspy voices, ethnic tones and solid rhythms all combine for a cohesive experience. While not edgy on any genre scope, I fear this will drop to obscurity between the more defined areas of popular music and audiences (that's not to be confused with the term "Pop" which is total crap.
That being said, I'm impressed with the range of ability this band delivers throughout the album. My biggest suggestion is to up the ante and become bolder with your genre ranges. Put it in our faces! Carry on.

Wonderful, inventive track #1, "Cortez & Pizarro", rest Ugh

I was immediately captivated by the Spanish guitar intro in Cortez & Pizarro. Then the powerful rock guitar kicked in and I said to myself "Oh, this is something special, a great fusion". And indeed it was, an unusual and interesting number that exhuded individuality, full of rock buildup and power yet launching proudly off a rich platform of moorish influence. Absolutely wonderful.

So I listened to the rest of the album too, but alas what was promised in the first track did not materialize again, except for a few seconds of gypsy violin. A quiet pop album, going absolutely nowhere. I had been promised far more by track #1, but the promise was empty.

Summary: Excellent starting track, but I'm afraid the rest did nothing for me. Some of the rest rivalled the emptiest pop you can get.

I echo DoozerD's comment: Be bolder. The world doesn't need more light cruising pop, and you won't be remembered for it. Clearly you have the potential to do something more ambitious.

I don't really know how to rate this album, because for me Cortez & Pizarro rates an 8 or 9 easily, while the rest of the tracks barely rate 1-3 from me. I've decided not to let album averaging rule me though, and it's better to be generous anyway, so I'm rating the first track alone and pretending that the rest of the album doesn't exist. If I don't do this then the magnificence of track #1 will be lost.

Well done Slim, great track. Be bolder.

Good album

I really liked the track "Cortez & Pizarro" The rest of the album good but wasn't outstanding. If this was a proprietary album the only song I would buy is "Cortez & Pizarro"

Thanks for sharing!

More positive than negative, but...

This might be a start on good musicianship, but it needs new things that I haven't hear before. Lyrics don't make a song if the music itself is generic or subpar.

It's good if one is a diehard fan of classic rock, but nothing overly special on this. Average with some benefit of the doubt. Keep trying.

Sounds professional

14/07/07

What's most impressive to me is the professional sounding quality of this album. Recording, instrumental ability and the complete and powerful sounding mix. The songs have a nice quality to them; although they're very pop-sounding, they're not as dull and obvious as that description normally implies. You can tell a lot of work and practice has gone into this sound and it's most impressive.

Bravo !

Des sons harmonieux et une voix magnifique !
Que dire de plus ? Cet album est un réel plaisir pour les oreilles et le coeur.
On se laisse facilement entrainer par le rythme et c'est une réelle détente que de l'écouter.

I regret nothing. Decent album. Worth a download

Well, of course 'Cortez & Pizarro' is the best song by far. Is a great song, but don't discard the rest of the album. Some nice hidden gems, just don't expect them to be as memorable as 'Cortez & Pizarro'. The sound is a good mix of Pop-rock with a bit of Folk maybe a pinch of Blues. I don't regret having this on my MP3 player.

Wow! Great stuff!

This very good Pop/Rock and just a whole lot of fun to listen to. I particularly like the mid-tempo ballad "Heathrow" which appears along with other great tracks on my second online radio show here:

the sound I've been searching for. this album is great, its both upbeat and chill, relaxing and exciting.Bound to please both the instrument lover and the lover of lyrics, this is a well0-rounded collection of art. The first track is my favorite but i find every song to be good. Definitely worth listening to.
