"This is a really nice cd. It has great variety-- likely to please all different types of people. great tripped out echoing drums and buzzing, fluctuating organs that melt my insides. It's funky, raw, and so smooth. Nice different styles tossed around with songs like 9'0clock or 10'oclock or something which is a straight jazzy jam. I agree with the guy below that kc doppler is incredible. I love the drumming by gershoni, touching. If you like funky bass, heavy rotation throws it in your face. This is real hot trip-jazz. hip-hop fans should like it for the rawness, jazz fans will apreciate the solo's and sophistication, and junkies will like the trip. Where do these guys play live? If anyone knows, get back to me. Try out Greyboy-West Coast Boogaloo, its another one of my favorites."
KC Doppler is enough for all five

"This is a very versatile album-- it's appropriate for downtempo dancing and as background music to fit a variety of moods. The highlight, in my opinion is track 5, "KC Dopppler". It's a seamless blend of acoustic and electronic instruments that is always a crowd-pleaser. I have played this album for all types of people and every one has loved it. Buy one for yourself and one for a friend. They'll thank you for it."
Why has this been missed ?

"Seems to me that this disc has been missed by almost everybody. Hardly any fillers. Many of these tracks could easily be put on a "chill" compilation which seem to be all the rage at the moment. Lots of the tracks here are at least as good if not better than many I've heard on the more hyped collections.
Almost all instruments played by humans, good grooves, an undiscovered gem.
Hope these guys haven't given up and can find some more material for mature tastes."
Great Stuff

"I have not yet heard the entire CD but do like what i've heard so far. It's a bit more modern sounding than their "Rhode Trip" (may he rest in peace) CD, but yet, at the same time seems to be heavily influenced by "SpaceJazz" or "AcidJazz" (don't really care for labels but it might be helpful to some) pioneer Lonnie Liston Smith and the Cosmic Echoes. This area is somewhat new to me since i have been more traditionally "Fusion" oriented and hadn't cared too much for the little Acid Jazz that i had heard. But if this is where Acid Jazz is at or is going, i am definitely going to be paying attention! Another contemporary group you might want to check out (although they are not really Acid but just a very soulful and R&B influenced Jazz band) is The Brad Upton Quintet. Especially their Black Orchid CD."
