The hippest work so far from Ocote Soul Sounds, a really funky little record with lots of sweet 70´s touches!! The groove here is almost in the territory of recent El Michels Affair work, a combination of small combo Deep Funk with some broader, more spacious 70´s touches, bits of Latin rhythms, soundtrack styles, and more, all folded into a groove that's electrified somewhat, but still warm and soulful throughout. There's a great balance here between gritty rhythms and smooth-gliding instrumentation, played by Adrian Quesada on guitars and keyboards, and Martin Perna on reeds, with help from a nice assortment of additional players on other tracks. Easily one of the funkiest albums ever on the ESL label!!
