After hearing thier performance of 'War' on Later..with Jools Holland, I was immediately impressed and set about finding any of their material. Sadly the internet was, for once, supplying the bare minimum but I had hope. Their debut album was to be released in three weeks time and I was saved. After buying the album (£10 from HMV) it was hard, like with so many albums, to decide whether I really enjoyed it. However after a few repeats it did start to grow on me and out of it grew some intense and incredibly catchy tunes. Many friends and family have criticised the songs for being 'samey' or for the lack of lyrics. However this does little to divulge my attention. After familiarizing yourself with the CD, the songs begin to stand out and make easy listening, whether to relax or exercise etc. I particularly enjoy 'war', 'alyo', 'Marcus Garvey', 'Party Started' and 'Hypontic'. They are a great example of rags to riches and I am sure they have a massive future performing. If you like jazz, or even dont, this album is very entertaining and is great for background at a party, relaxation or for anything else. You will not be let down, and for ten pounds, it was a great buy!
