(4 out of 5 stars)
"Somehow I missed their first album but I was able to get my hands on Near Life Experience. Now I must say, I have alot of respect for these folks and what they can do, but some tracks I just can't hang with. None-the-less what I hear on this album is a truckload of potential and some wonderful tracks to keep me happy with my purchase. Several tracks have a sound reminicent of St. Germain, others of old 45 jazz and funk albums, yet somehow they also get in some experimental electronic / downbeat / dnb-ish / jazz influenced numbers. Some I think they could do without. If you're looking for something new to round out a collection by all means check this group out. If not its inconsistency may turn many people away. Still deserving of four stars for the effort though :)"
