The Scorchers – Stuntin’ (Jump Up!) Reviewed by Sadie O., 11/16/06 Roots ska/ 60’s Jamaican and American sounds from Brooklyn. Some real high points here, although most of them apparently involve a combination of herb and insanity, like the vocals on track 12 and the sax solo on track 15 and its dub on 16. No FCCs. Track 12, 15-16 are gems. 1. 3:48 *drum and bass intro, midtempo swingy ska with lots of horns. Instrumental. 2. 3:18 **uptempo ska, rather odd male vocals 3. 3:16 *midtempo steady rolling rock steady, cover of the Burt Bacharat 60’s classic. 4. 3:20 *slow and steady ska beat, Wailers cover, female chorus. 5. 3:35 ***long intro, into slow ska beat with nyahbinghi drums, lots of horns. Instrumental. 6. 3:10 **bass intro, somewhat uptempo ska instrumental 7. 1:47 **nice little guitar line, slow Latin-tinged conga line instrumental 8. 2:54 *midtempo 60’s feel with female vocals. Farfisa solo! 9. 3:45 **slow dance a la Santo and Johnny but with horns, instrumental. 10. 3:41 *slow ska with nyahbinghi drums, female vocals. 11. 3:27 ***ponderous organ intro, then uptempo ska instrumental. 12. 3:41 ****midtempo roots rock skank, hilariously weird male vocals. What a sick joke, letting this guy sing! 13. 4:09 ***drum intro, uptempo ska 14. 2:23 *** uptempo rock steady, male vocals, nice female chorus 15. 5:04 ****very cool midtempo skank, booty wiggler, instrumental. Absolutely nutted sax solo. 16. 3:06 ***slower version of track 16, dubbed up. 17. 1:57 slow number with nice bass line, female vocals. | ||
