Brilliant traditional ska in the Los Angeles style, often with a Latin influence. See Spot has been one of the biggest names in the California ska scene for the last decade, and this album showcases some of their best work from 1996-2003. Members have gone on to projects including: After Hours, the Aggrolites, and the Chris Murray Combo. All of these songs are fast and upbeat, unless noted. The live tracks at the end of the album are good, but (with the exception of track 15) are probably worth skipping in favor of the studio tracks. Most of this is infectiously danceable, and the musicianship is top notch. FCC Clean Start with: 1, 5, 9, 15 then: 8 Reviewed by: Coop 1. **excellent laid-back guitar lead, sax upbeats 2. bouncy ska with lead guitar 3. heavy Latin influence 4. mid-tempo, ska with rocksteady leanings 5. ** ska version of Latin Jazz standard, mid-tempo 6. Big Band/Swing sound 7. smooth jazz-ska, vibraphone, upright bass prominent 8. *great example of the LA ska sound 9. ** instrumental version of the song from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" actually works really well 10. (live) straight traditional ska 11. (live) hammond organ, dark-sounding ska 12. (live) cool organ intro 13. (live) straight traditional ska 15. **(live) possibly See Spot's trademark song |
