This album is not only great music, but it's also a whole lot of great music--16 tracks, over 65 minutes! I especially like the tracks in which the "hop" is as prominant as the "trip", such as Night Black Crow, part 2. I like the natural vocals much better than the altered ones. (There's a bit too much of the low altered vocal for my taste because it starts sounding like novelty music.)
This is my favorite album from Porpoise yet. It has all the fun and energy of earlier albums, with more polish (both in arrangements and production) and a broader emotional range. "Big Cat Tag Team Take Down" is a hard-driving crowd pleaser with a nice guitar solo. California Racist, Silver Bullet and Soldier Bear all bring out a softer, more melodic side of the band that hasn't been so apparent in the past. These songs also show the band's ability to maintain their tongue-in-cheek playfulness while taking on more serious topics. Thanks Poise!
This is good, solid funky disco. The genre list for this song includes "happy-house" , and that's a good label for it. I especially like the vocals. My only wish is that ESPSIX would put together a longer selection of songs. You probably have enough posted on Jamendo now to make a really nice album. Good luck!
Wonderful vocalist on this album. Polished and professional, and real pleasure to listen to.
This is a jaunty album with a touch of disco, a touch of reggae, and some Latin rythyms. Nice background music while I work. Not too serious, but well-done and enjoyable.
Each track seems to tell a story, and each new track feels like a new chapter in the book. Works well as sort-of "ambient" background music and as a "headphone" album.
This is one of the top 2 or 3 albums I've heard on Jamendo since I joined a year ago. "Not quite Maine and not quite New Brunswick?" Indeed! More like "not quite chamber pop and not quite orchestral rock" but the best of both! Catchy, complex and poetic all in one. Instrumentally, this album is strong, rich and intricate. Vocally, impassioned screaming on some songs nearly exhausts the listener, and then gives way to a vulnerable sweetness that hardly seems possible from the same voice--a combination that powerfully expresses the universality of youthful emotion. The lyrics entice and delight the first time you listen, and continue to satisfy after multiple listens. I have no doubt this band will hit it big, and I'm really looking forward to future albums.
Nice sounds. Good layering and song development, particularly on Chicago House. Love the funkish guitar on Chicago House, and the interplay of instruments and vocals. I'd like to hear a whole album to get a better sense of this band's stylistic range, which is difficult to judge from 2 songs.
Dylan72 offers a fair description of these tracks. They are enjoyable and well constructed, except for being too short and abruptly ended. I hope Benito Quintana will upload more--and longer--tracks soon. As is, I might not intentionally listen to these tracks very often, but I would enjoy having them in the mix when hit the "shuffle" button.
Thank you for rereleasing this album. Any shortcomings in the sound quality are outweighed by the quality of the compositions and performances themselves. Vocal affects such as whooping or Native American-sounding singing that could sound pretentious or odd are carried off with great success to make the songs distinctive and emotionally effective. This is a very enjoyable album that I plan to download and share with friends who like folky "singer-songwriter" music. I think the album has potential for wider distribution if it were remade with higher sound quality.
