There is some clipping and distortion and dynamic range compression, but it is not catastrophic, merely annoying. Another note about mastering. This one is on the verge of being too loud.
I have been playing it alot since it arrived along with stanton moore and ulu. and this is a good fresh take on this style. This band got me heading in those directions and I'm really enjoying it. This is good stuff. I love funk, jazz funk, etc.
Also QUIET PLEASE is 10 minutes of great jamming. I was not disappointed.HAMPS HUMP is a great cover, different from the orginal but with a modern sound. I have heard many live versions of this song (as well as seen it performed a few times) and this CD version is the best.All in all a quality buy if you like Booker T/Meters type music. This was the first album I bought of Galactic. I read an article about them in Bass Player Magazine, and they listed the Meters as one of their influences.
Very nice with some great chunky grooves. If you have every visited the city and loved it, do yourself a favor and pick up a Galactic cd.
I absolutely cannot say enough good things about this group and especially this cd, "Crazyhorse Mongoose". If you have ever heard the "Preservation Hall Band" or just enjoyed a sax player on the street corner, you will be immediately whisked back to the feel and sound of New Orleans.
I've only gotten into Galactic recently, but I have absolutely loved everything that I have heard. The sound of Galactic embodies everything that is New Orleans.
From "Love on the Run" to "Quiet Please" this cd absolutely rocks, I hope one day I have the privledge of seeing this group live in concert. The deep sounds of the saxaphone, the groove of the music, and the occasional raspy vocals make this a very enjoyable listen.
This is not "lite jazz" so if you are looking for that, you probably need to go somewhere else.
I dig the instrumental stuff, but the bluesy vocals add for a nice change of mood. It always puts you in that groovin' mood, and will definitely put your body in motion. This album is funky to the core. This is a solid funk/jazz/blues album that will have you groovin' out to every single one of the songs. Throw this disc in during a party, barbeque, after you get out of the shower, while your doing homework, when your driving, when your chilling with your buddies; its all good.
