Synopsis

Album Description
On their album "See the Sound", the New York quintet brings an atmospheric mix of hiphop, triphop, drum & bass, lounge and jazz. The opening song, "Purest One" effortlessly combines D&B with a drummed hiphop beat and violins. And it is just these surprising combinations which recur. "Danger" catapults you with its warm intro and sax solo from 2-step to regular" pop music, while the instrumental "All I Need" maintains the tension thanks to its strange samples and depth. "See the Sound" is atmospheric and gripping right across the boards, but really comes into its own in the beautifully babbling 'Portrait', a fragile pearl which displays Lissette Alea's flexible vocal chords to their fullest.

CD Reviews

This was a risk purchase, and definitely worth it.

"Ever buy something because the cover art was appealing or you liked the snazzy name?

I think at some point, everyone makes a risk purchase and most of the time the results are unpleasant.



I purchased this CD after hearing "Danger" as soundtrack to the DDS PS2 game. Most people disregard the music played in the opening credits of a video game, but I know talent when I hear it. I ordered the CD immediately and I am still delighted with the purchase.

"Wow -- I had never heard of this group before I heard one of their songs ("Danger") in a video game of all things. I hunted them down, bought the album, and fell in love. I've seen other reviews call this reminiscent of Sade, which I guess it is, but what it reminds me of most is neo-soul with a dash of new age. The lead singer's voice is an incredible instrument. Going to recommend it to all my artsy video gaming friends. =)"
