After listening through the album I have two favourites, "Groova Patata" and "Sax to the beat". The rest of the album is good, like listening to flowing honey, and should be great playing to offset the regular pop/rock on the radio. I'll make sure to try this album next time I have a party.
This album instantly brought back the moment I listened to th Clash for the first time. After listening through the album I can understand why, although I must admit my grasp of french is not strong enough to allow any comment on the texts.
The attitude is clearly there, the music is kept tight, agressive and plain enjoyable. Great listening, and clearly an album I'll have to keep on my mp3 player.
Some comments on the album:
- First track was an instant "back to the early 80's" hit in the gut.
- Second track and third track are good, and stick to the style set by the first, but are kept closer to ska than punk.
- 4th track is more ska, but still enjoyable for those of us who mixed madness and specials into the mix "back then".
- Track 5 have got more punk than the previous tracks, and I really wish my french was better as I haven't got a clue as to what it's about. Music is ok, but not exceptional.
- Track 6 sticks with the punk theme. This is a song I'd have paid to hear "in concert".
- Track 7 returns to the ska corner, excellent intro, and the uptempo is just yelling "get up and move!"
- Track 8 is in my opinion the weakest piece on the album, more due to personal preference than musical shortcomings.
- Track 9, 10 and 11 rounds the album off nicely.
I have to agree with the tags set for this album, although I'd say it is more punk/ska than dub, but hey, what do I know, I'm just listening to music. :)
A bit too much electronica for my taste, but nevertheless good enough to listen through the whole album.
From the first moment this album had me constantly cranking the volume up, this music should be played LOUD and PROUD. This is music that brings a spring to your walk and a smile to your lips.
Funky, with a good whiff out of the blooze keg, shamelessly stealing influences from all over, and bringing it to a boil, letting you simmer in the sheer attitude of Goo Goo Cluster.
Ok, I'm hooked. :) When's the next album released?
nice listening, jazzy, good enough to leave me wishing for more than three songs. Good potential, but this album leaves me thinking I've heard it before, along with a quick flashback to just about every hotel elevator I've been in. Couple this with a good voice however, and it'd be perfect!
First track is the best, in my opinion, equal parts jazz and funk blended to perfection, although lyrics would be a plus. This song could easily be longer, and adorned with more excursions on the bassline.
Second track is just plain easy listening, but also borderline elevator muzak.
Third track is just begging for having lyrics, I found myself just waiting for so meone to break into song.
If UNEX isn't too put off by my quips about muzak I'll be happily looking forward to more, especially like song #1.
