Melodic twangcore from the UK.......2007-06-02

This is a nice set of raggedy, twang-laced melodic indie-rock, from an exuberant Irish foursome. The band is clearly rooted in modern rock, but they incorporate country elements well, and sound like they have a lot of fun playing their songs... Definitely worth checking out, since their energy and enthusiasm carry through to the listeners... Fun stuff!

The X men of fusion.......2007-05-28

This cd in nothing less than amazing. Tribal Tech especially in this line up, is an amazing band. This cd is the first with the line up that personally I find impossible to surpass ... Henderson, Willis, Covington, Kinsey. You can't beat these guys in this sort of music ... that I may call, ... fusion, a word among the most hated for different reasons (I think by the guys themselves). It is fantastic that Illicit begins with few seconds of what people generally tend to think about when the word fusion comes to mind. A sort of mellifluos, ultra sweet, elevator-kennyg type of thing, ... and after those few seconds the band starts an incredible funky fusion groove, "Big vawe" with solos to die for. What you will find in this album is an incredibly tight band, a fantastic unit, scaring musicians that play very forward music. This music isn't for every cat. This music is dense, intense, intelligent ... funny and entertaining. But ... it deserves your attention. Think Weather Report with a boost of ultramodernity, with a guitar instead of a sax and you have the picture. I own all the albums from the band (minus Dr Hee and Spears which are unavailable at this time, ... they appear sometimes on the used market at out of this world prices) and I think this one ranges among the best together with Reality check. I adore this one. It's fusion from outer space. Stellar music from the X men of fusion.

This definately isnt their best.......2006-03-30

I feel like a stranger among all my other fusion fans. This disc is good but it doesnt hold a candle to the Tribal Tech self titled cd. Scotts playing and songwriting on this one is good but still too many filler songs of just noise and crazy sounds. Yes you can say that thats what fusion is, and youd be true. I dont like Kirk Covingtons drum tone compared to Joey Heredias on the self titled cd. He sounds like Bobby Brady in spots. The few songs that stick out are good ones but again, too much filler. For the serious Henderson and Willis fans, its a keeper.

Illicit.......2005-09-27

A must have for any fan of Scott Henderson and Tribal Tech, this really demonstrates not only their virtuosity individually and as a group, but most importantly, their unique sound. This record is an excellent example of the Tribal Tech sound, which is so unique it could almost be a genre of its' own. As good as my two favorites of theirs', their (purple) self-titled album, and Reality Check.

Prime Tribal Tech.......2003-11-07

With all great bands, there is one recording where it all gets put together. The band's virtuosity evolves to the point where it becomes a perfect synergy of technique and soul. Illicit is such a recording. Previous Tribal Tech recordings, while technically excellent and musically sophisticated, failed to fuse the musical and technical elements into a unified whole. Scott Henderson's guitar playing, while adventurous and musically sophisticated, was somewhat algebraic as he processed the lessons learned at GIT. The rhythm section of Willis and Covington was technically adept, but somewhat theoretical in their approach. The same was true of keyboardist Scott Kinsey. On Illicit, it all changes for the better. Henderson successfully integrated harmonic sophistication with his hard rock-metal roots. Covington and Willis add the funk to their prodigious chops. The result is Illicit, Tribal Tech's best work. This CD fuses all of Tribal Tech's elements into an integrated musical statement. There is a lot to choose from here; syncopated fusion (The Big Wave, with its cheesy Musak intro) relentless funk (Stoopid), ultra-sophisticated hard rock (Torque), bluesy vamps with a late-night vibe (Slidin' Into Charlisa, Black Cherry), modernist speed-boogie romps (Root Food), and improvised ferocity (Riot). This is the recording that most successfully represents Tribal Tech's compositional sophistication and go-for-the throat intensity. It doesn't get much better than this.

The Music Is Deep!.......2003-03-10

If you like serious fusion, this is the music for you. This type of music is not meant or everyone. Granted, it's more aimed at the musically technically astute listener, but for me, music doesn't get any better than this.

My own smooth jazz CD entitled It's All About Love will relax your mind. This Tribal Tech CD will put firecrackers up under the beds of a sleeping brain.

Serious fusion fans should not be without this CD in their collection. Keep the music rollin' guys!

Sincerely,

Ronald G. Turner

For sheer entertainment value, it's hard to find a classical CD that will beat this one. Gloria Cheng has chosen an astonishing variety of 20th-century piano music with nothing in common except brevity and dance origins. The disc is full of familiar pieces (Debussy, Scriabin, Ravel, Prokofiev) and entertaining novelties (Albright, Martinu, Poulenc, Ginastera). Donald R. Davis's exercise in creative plagiarism, "Illicit Felicity," rates a special mention for its ingenuity. But really, unless you're allergic to Philip Glass, there isn't a loser on the entire program. Cheng plays brilliantly, with appropriate special emphasis on the dance rhythms of the music, and Telarc's sound engineering is typically realistic. It ain't profound, but this is still a marvelous program. --Leslie Gerber

Customer Reviews:

Fun to listen to!.......2000-09-18

Listening to this CD is fun. The CD has a diverse selection of contemporary dances for solo piano, ranging from familiar favorites, such as Gollywog's Cakewalk by Debussy, to lesser known and unconventional but charming works, such as del Aguila's Conga. The dances are varied and well-interpreted by Ms. Cheng, who brings poignancy to each one while maintaining throughout the CD a fun and energetic mood.

Ms. Cheng's playing is phenomenal, and I also enjoy her earlier CD of works by John Adams and Terry Riley. Both CD's show off her rich tone and appealing style, but the dance collection is the most entertaining. If you buy this CD, you'll probably find yourself listening to it frequently.

An interesting concept not quite realized.......2000-07-25

A very good concept. Take a noted pianist, in this case Gloria Cheng, and work with her on a program of 23 short works or short sections of larger works, all of which are one form or another of Dance--and you might come up with something good or possibly just a mixed bag. The Telarc release (CD-80549) is such a program. The playing is wonderful, the results what you might expect, alas: a mixed bag.

A very definite positive about this program is that almost every selection was new to me. After all, how many of us are familiar with works like Miguel del Aguila's "Conga," Philip Glass's "Modern Love Reel," or Paul Hindemith's "Shimmy"? I mean, really! So there is much Joy of Discovery afforded by this CD; but with all but one piece running under 5 minutes (and that one at 9:26), a certain cloying factor creeps in after a while, and perhaps I should recommend this be played in small sections.

Album Description

Way back in the nineties, Andy Smith was best friends with Geoff Barrow. The pair shared in interest in the same music, collected records, set up their own nights locally and when Geoff started Portishead, Andy supplied the samples for the hip hop and film-esque rhythms which became their massive seminal trip-hop classic, Dummy.

When the band went on the road, Andy was invited to join them as the Portishead DJ, playing sets before and after the band went on stage playing diverse sets of tunes old and new, obscure and popular, Hip Hop, Funk and Northern Soul.

Inspired by his sets on tour and an oft-bootlegged radio show for Boston's WFNX-FM, Smith compiled his own version of a classic `mixtape mash-up'. Entitled The Document and released on London Records in 1998, this album cut up ribbons of hip hop, funk, northern soul, 60¹s beats and some real wild-cards, causing dropping jaws and universal acclaim from hip-hop heads, funkateers, and electronic music fans across the board and Soundscanning over 17,000 copies in the US.

Now after five long years, Andy Smith returns with what will prove to be yet another seminal chapter of The Document. Document 2 pairs up such unlikely musical bedfellows as Kate Bush, James Brown, Serge Gainsbourg, and Three Dog Night with Cut Chemist, Ultramagnetic MC's, Eric B. & Rakim, and Smith's own side project Dynamo Productions and the result is another classic mixtape for the ages!

Music Truffles.......2005-11-20

So Document (I) is great. Really fabulous, a single-disk education in funk, hip-hop and why a DJ matters. Andy Smith clearly has great taste in music, an ear for the strange and wonderful and does a great job of putting together a musical journey,with creative layering of tracks and an overall sense that he *loves* this music.

So here we go again: part II. I've been waiting for this disk for about five years. Could it be as good?

Well: nothing's changed really - all the above compliments apply. I mean, it's not like Andy has lost his abilities: the opening mix of Kate Bush into a sparse hip-hop loop, staight into James Brown, keeping the same vocal all the way is priceless. Cool. Smart.

The overall tone is a little more heavy with rap and novelty records and the tracks just don't quite have the same impeccable quality control as last time - it's as if he used all his favorite records of all time in the first mix, and this is a collection of his second favorite tracks of all time. Kind of like "More Abba Gold" to the originals "Abba Gold".

Not that there aren't great tracks here: Quantic Soul Orchestra and Sugarman 3 bring some energetic funk noise with style, as do Boca 45. If these aren't names you're familiar with (I'm not) this is as good a place as any to pick up some new stuff. Maybe my luke-warmness is just a side-effect of hearing the same trick again - the freshness, the surprise and some of the magic isn't here in quite the bucketloads it was first time around.

Still - it's a decent disk. You don't have many choices when it comes to well-mixed, diverse and imaginative DJ sets will to take risks, and if you like any two of Funk, Soul or Hip-hop, you'll get a persuasive introduction to the other.

One quibble: 'pologies if this sounds snobby, but I don't need another DJ disk with "Give the Drummer Some" on it. It's not exactly an imaginative selection. For example - putting "No Omega" (Eric B & Rakim) is a much more refreshing choice...

Anyway, all in all, start with Document I. If you love it, this is a great second purchase. Otherwise, just keep darn well listening to it until you do.

Andy Smith shows there's life after mixing for Portishead.. .......2004-08-19

There are a million different 'Eclectic' Dj Mix albums out there, with some truly exceptional efforts that stand head and shoulders above the rest. Grandmaster Flash's "The Official Adventures of...", 2 Many Dj's "As heard on radio soulwax", Peanut Butter Wolf's "Jukebox 45", Coldcuts seminal "70 Minutes of madness". So listeners are spoilt for choice, so for another Eclectic Dj Mix album to deserve recognition, it's going to truly have its work cut out for it. Does this album deserve your time or hard earned??...

Dj Andy Smith is the official warm-up Dj for the band "Portishead's" Live shows, but seeing as Portishead haven't made a new album since 1997/98, he sure as hell won't be able to use the portishead name to sell his album, so he going to have to sell it on his own merits. And thankfully this is a truly distinguished effort on his part.

"Kate Bush's - The Man with the Child in His Eyes", opens the album beautifully, to open with an Kate's Bush's blend of Exuberant Alternative Pop/rock is a risky choice of sure, but Kate's soaring vocals negate any worries about her inclusion here. Before leading superbly into "Craig G's" beat Heavy Hip-Hop of "Welcome to the game", which (apart from the excellent genre transition), is a head Noddingly agreeable track, and demonstrates Andy Smith keen ear for a Groove, and ability to surprise with his track selection.

"Three Dog Night's - I Can Hear you Calling" is a one of those tremendous Soul-Shouter Funk orientated 45', that immediately catch the ear, even if you've never heard the track before. And it's here, that you realise that Andy Smith has a sincere love for old Soul / Funk grooves, which feature heavily throughout the album. "DJ Bomb Jack's" hard stepping Hip-Hop instrumental "Big Beat No.3" reminds us that Funk/Soul aren't the only hip swinging grooves here. But the real surprise is that he chooses to follow this excellent track with 'Serge Gainsbourg's" sleazy lounge-Jazz "Requiem Pour un C", unexpected...yes, but it's so confidently dropped in the mix, that you don't even realise until a minute or two into the track, thats it's been mixed in.

This isn't the first time I've encountered the "Quantic Soul Orchestra" in a Dj mix album, and the reason why, is probably because of the fact they sure know how to put together a stylishly Upbeat Soul-referencing track, which would a highlight in any mix, but even that pales in comparison with the golden Age rap brilliance of "Ultramagnetic MC's - Give The Drummer Some" a track or two later, and let there be no doubt, that this is one of the most astonishing tracks of freewheeling and Witty East coast Rap ever made, stands out like a diamond in the rough, on a album littered with musical highlights.....Andy Smith drops this track safe in the knowledge, that nobody is going to hear this track without making a appreciative comment.

"Barbara Acklin's " 60's Northern Soul track "Am I The same Girl?" reintroduces Andy Smiths love of Soulful Groove, and she wears her Smooth & Sensual singer/songwriter credentials very well, and this is the track that Andy Smith (masterfully) chooses to finish the mix out with, but thats not before Andy Drops "Eric B & Rakim's" streetsmart raps' in "No Omega", confident, self-aggrandising, & a sense of bravado....not since 'Al Capone' had a strugglehold on the underworld, these two (Eric & Rakim) mix complex wordplay with peerless technique on the turntables (in their day), they were the blueprint for "Jay-Z's" extravagant vocal boasts, and with good reason to....but this tracks a killer.

If you've had your fill of Dj eclectic mix albums of the last year or so, or you've never been sold on the idea of Funk / Soul / Old-skool Hip-Hop mixed with obscure musical nuggets, then (as much as it pains me to say it) this probably won't convince you. And no amount of Varied tracklistings, Crowd Favourties and exceptional mixing is going to change your preception. but if your still in the market for such an album, and your looking at possibly purchasing this, then I implore you to do so, I have no reservation in saying that this is an exceptional effort, and easily rubs shoulders with the similar Dj albums that i mention at the beginning of the review. If fact if you do enjoy this a much as I did. Then you should probably try sourcing the (considerably) more expensive & harder to find first volume in this tremendous series of albums.

Great mix of funk, old school hip-hop and soul.......2003-10-20

I recently got the first document from a friend and soon after it was the only cd in my player. When I found out document 2 was coming out I had to get it. Just like the original document album, this mixes well known (black sheep -the choice is yours) and totally unheard of tracks (serge bainsbourgh?? with french vocals) seamlessly. The tempo stays pretty consistent throughout so if you can handle the changes in music from song to song, for example Jack Jones (a vocalist from the 60's kinda like Tom Jones) singing about how he'll never fall in love again with a great beat behind it to Eric B & Rakim and the beat stays pretty much the same. I'm not a big fan of current day hip hop (Jay Z, 50 cent, etc.) but can get into the old stuff if presented correctly....this is the way for me. He used more hip hop in this album than in the original but it's all good. If you want to try something different and cool, try it!

Album Description

With the rapid advances in technology it's easy to forget the massive impact that the VCR had on our lives. For kids like Damon Baxter aka Deadly Avenger, it meant a hell of a lot more. The phrase 'home entertainment' took on a whole new dimension.

Baxter and his friends started to develop video collections to rival their vinyl, chock full of classic 70's Kung Fu, Sci-Fi, Horror and Action flicks like Enter The Dragon, Rollerball, Rambo - First Blood, Dirty Harry and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Baxter can trace his obsession with films and soundtracks back to this golden era. He often used films as his inspiration when making music, playing videos constantly while he worked in the studio. Suddenly, a scene would grab his attention and he'd score that scene himself, repeating it over and over to fully capture the atmosphere.

This gave Baxter the idea for this Straight To Video compilation. He decided to ask some of his friends who made music to try their hand at scoring a scene from a film they liked. Inevitably, not everybody stuck to the script - some have recorded tracks inspired by an entire film rather than a specific scene, while others based their tracks on their own imaginary films.

What we are left with is a 14-track collection of awesome soundtrack influenced music from some of the most creative talents working on the music scene today. As a body of work, it stands testament to the power of films to inspire, shock and make you laugh, transporting the listener to their own headphone cinema, and evoking plenty of seminal memories for the Betamax generation.

Album Description

A Triple CD compendium featuring unreleased material from Deadly Avenger along with exclusive cuts from the Illicit archives

Disc 1: 95 - named after the year Damon (aka Deadly Avenger) started producing demos from his bedroom in Leicester, this album shows how the Deadly Avenger sound has developed over the years. Comprising specially re-recorded versions of the early material on the DC label, tracks from the first two Illicit EP's plus exclusive demos, skits and previously unreleased tunes, all of which are available on CD for the first time!

Disc 2: Battlecreek - the Battlecreek series, named after a Jackie Chan movie, was Damon's attempt to recreate the old school hip-hop battle records. He invited likeminded artists and friends to contribute tracks for the now-seminal EP's that have become a perfect representation of what happens when hip-hop and the breaks collide. All three EPs are collected together here on CD for the first time.

Disc 3: Cast and Crew - represents all aspects of Illicit Recordings and the artists who have been involved with the label over the years. Fourteen tracks including Fatman Scoop's "Be Faithful", Chicago house-god Derrick Carter's remix of Deadly Avenger, the replayed recording of the Rocky theme "Going The Distance" (sampled on "We Took Pelham"), an exclusive Bronx Dogs track and many more!
