ends with the bass stepping up to dominate the musical space. I am listening to a musical knife
fight.
Suddenly the vocals come in and like a mother used to fighting children she calms everyone
down. This is perhaps the best song on the EP.
Track 6 - Black Orpheus - For some reason this song has, to me, a Santana vibe. That is odd,
because I do not hear a guitar. What I do hear is a funky rhythm laid down by the keyboards with
support from the bass and the drums. How funky is it? I am having trouble following what they
are doing. That is a two edged sword. On the one hand I am confronted by the fact that I am a
rock and roll drummer. (That means I cannot count higher than 4.) On the other hand, once I
have made peace with the fact that I cannot keep up with what they are doing, I can fully
concentrate on just how good each of these guys is. This is a band of absolute monster players
and I feel I have grown musically from simply listening to their work.
So folks, what is the bottom line? The bottom line is that reviewing music I hear a lot of
records. Very few of the records I hear make it to the collection I listen to for personal
enjoyment. This EP has made it all the way to my phone. I liked this EP so much I want to be
able to listen to it when I am waiting for the bus (yes I said bus, a driver’s license costs roughly
$1000.00 USD and gasoline is $8.50 a gallon...)
I enjoyed this record and I think you will enjoy it too.
