CD Reviews

Influencial funk from the 70s

Dario Margeli | San Jose, CA United States | 05/13/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Finally there is this greatest his feautering the original
recordings (not later re-recordings) of this classic
1970s funk n' roll band from Spain.There music borders funk fussion and to this day
get sampled constantly in rap records. They influenced
bands like Brass Construction, Level 42, Herbie Mann
and many others.Most tracks feauter the manly voice of Joe Tejada,
and in all songs you can hear the great jazz-trained
musicianship of these funksters.]I would give it a 5, ..."

Something's Missing

Kurt Davis | 12/20/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'm really into Barrabas so I know I'll love this CD when I get it. However, I'm already disappointed by one glaring omission: Where is "Along The Shore"? If you're going to do a "Best of...", you should be sure to include on of their VERY best."

GET THIS ONE EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE OTHER VERSION OF THE SONG

Kurt Davis | DA BRONX, NEW YORK United States),Other HOT MAMI | 07/26/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"GET THIS ONE TOO BECAUSE THE OTHER HI-JACK HAS LESS BASS THAN THIS ONE THE HI-JACK HERE IS THE SAME BUT JUST HAS MORE MEAT FOR THE DANCE BEAT'S THEY WILL DANCE !"
