Kyo Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) Since I'm just getting into the whole organ combo thing I figured I should give the band a try - after all I've been using their forum for quite a while now. I should have both discs in my hands next week (thanks to CDBaby) and if the rest of the albums sounds as good as the samples then I'm in for a treat. Gotta love the infectiously funky drumming in particular! Other titles in my order are Tony Grey's "Moving" (I LOVE that guy's bass playing on Hiromi's albums, absolutely beautiful stuff) and a single by the obscure but awesome swedish pop band Pineforest Crunch that includes a really interesting, very "crunchy" take on Aqua's "Barbie Girl".

Sorry it took me so long - I got the CDs on Tuesday but that Tony Grey CD has just totally blown me away on first listen and not left my CD player for two days (seriously!). What a talent! Unbelievable that someone's debut album should be this good. Anyway, I finally found the time to *really* listen to your albums today. I think you guys can (and should!) really be proud of those CDs! Excellent stuff! While my jazz collection is already quite extensive (some 600 discs) I'm not very familiar with the current jazz scene at all, so I can only compare your stuff to "the greats" - and I must really say that I think it holds up very well! Given my strong prog background I'm particularly happy to hear some groovy tracks in odd time-signatures. Also love those little breaks on Smoking Section as well as the Zappa cover on the second album. My favorite track so far is Decoder - one of those tunes where you just can't hold still while it's playing. Big from me! I'll make sure to recommend both discs to some friends of mine! Btw, are you going to commercially release those old Christmas tracks you recorded? Quote
