A fresh take on a classic sound

"Man, these kids just tear it up. I don't know much about Orgone, but I do know that if they are anything like their music, they are raw, funky, behind-the-beat, and downright filthy (slang for 'good' folks).



Great bands like this hide in the shadows, waiting to be discovered, and when they are, they just shine that much brighter.



For those familiar with the Dap Kings, the band Sharon Jones and Amy Winehouse use, Orgone will sound familiar, but more raw, more alive, more brassy. If you have this on your iPod, watch out, your head will be bopping back and forth.



Favorite cuts include Sophisticated Honky, Duck & Cover, I Get Lifted, Dialed Up, Said & Done.



Pick this up and be taken back to a time when it was all about the music, and bands recorded all their parts live - as a band - together. This tightness is what's missing today.



Orgone today, hopefully not Orgone tomorrow, or ever! Killing me softly with those beats! Bring the funk!"

This is bad-ass!

"Classic but fresh, well produced, and seriously funky. Probably my favorite end-to-end album from any of the groups of the current modern soul/funk resurgence. They hit the classic funky soul sound completely dead-on on the first few tracks, then surprise with a little more variation later on and a seamless introduction of a more modern sound. Agree with Alasia that the singer is absolutely killing it on some of these tracks, but some of these instrumental tracks are fantastic too (Lone Ranger, Duck and Cover). Get it!"

West African Funk and Afrobeat themes

"All the reviews above are right on. This band adds more soul and bows to the contribution that west african funk and afrobeat have added back into funk and jazz. Great record!"
