Lots of funk, a bit of rap influence, maybe even a bit of R&B influence makes for a fun CD. Mostly upbeat, lots of wawa on the guitar and some interesting synth work makes for some A-file worthy material. I recommend tracks 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 15, and *16. Ken (the id) 1. *Guitar scrapin’, wawa funk with some cool synth in the mix. Later, some sax. 2. *Bouncy, poppin’ bass. Funky guitar rhythm in the upper register . Like early Red Hot Chili Peppers but slower. Chime playing later, nice touch. Wawa guitar solo. 3. Spacey funk, girl/boy choral harmony, kazoo, Makes me think of the coneheads of SNL lore. 4. *This one got my ten year old shakin’ his booty. Interesting tempo change. Cool piano, synths. A Tribute to Sun Ra. 5. *“Your funk don’t stank like my funk, your funk don’t stank so good”. Repetitive, but silly enough to be fun. 6. Melancholy lyrics with plodding drums and guitar. Voice sound effects and echoing guitar later. 7. *Dreamy, soft instrumental about 2 minutes long 8. Monotone rapping. Video game sounding syth, Early 80’s rap sounding drumming 9. Tribute to M.C. Danny Ray, whoever he is. Cool wawa guitar solo and voice effects. Nice Sax solo too. 10. *Cool distorted electric piano, some well used lyrics but it’s a party anthem of sorts so that’s OK. 11. Distorted vocal intro accompanied with a more soulful singer. Very 80’s, I think. Monotone and monotempo rapping. 12. Lyrics would make for a good blues song. Simple drums and guitar. 13. Gets nice and fast for a moment, but changes and settles into a much slower groove. Funny distorted lyrics later. 14. *Silly lyrics, playful piano, nice guitar solo 15. *Funny slam on drama queens 16. *Upbeat and catchy, maybe the best song on this CD | ||
