CD Reviews"Don't Stop the Music" CGC | Los Angeles, CA USA | 01/10/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Kava Kava are hard to describe, and the cover is a bit misleading. This is a four-piece band from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire who look like British hard rockers but produce an eclectic, energetic sound that falls somewhere between Massive Attack and Parliament. Each track on this flawlessly produced CD is refreshingly unexpected, pulling in sounds from trip hop, funky breaks, and plain old jamming blues and soul. The music has bite, and lead singer Pat Fulgoni's voice is just fantastic. What some others have said... NME Magazine calls them as "psychedelic funk" and Alt.Culture.Guide says their sound is "as indebted to Stax soul and the Philly sound as it is to the Manchester beat and Brian Eno." For me, the standout tracks include Maui, Don't Stop the Music, Tic, and Bankjob, but it's all strong material." The bomb MUFF JAM | 11/23/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "i don't know who they are, or what the idea was naming it kava kava and have some cactus for a cover but this is one hot, funky experience. 'dont stop the music' freaked me like isleys 'who's that lady' with a voice so sweet and soul you just get up and listen to that. SO ...... DONT STOP THE MUSIC you ram jam fat boys!" Maui Wowee john | Edinburgh | 04/09/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'm thinking Groove Armada meets Funkadelic meets Primal Scream behind an original male vocal with a big soul sound! I love this album!
It is quite unique but still consistent in its diversity........'Terrorists' starts off like a classic old school hip hop tune, wanders off into funk rock and psychedelic soul territories and frankly any song with a chorus line "soul and love" has to be applauded in this day and age. 'Dont Stop The Music' has some high energy disco beats and an Isley Brothers feel before it kicks in some blatant house textures. 'Bank Job' is a sledge hammer of a song with big strings, brass and a Tom Jones vibe in a Daft Punk setting! I can't get enough of this and can't wait to see them live! What is it? I don't care. Its music and its about time someone pushed the boat out." |
