I bought it some months ago. They sell here as trip-hop, not
acid-jazz. Anyway, they're definitely trip-hop but in an organic fashion;
electronic instruments are not very evident and they use lots of live
guitar, bass, etc. It sounds really cool, relaxing.

I like them a lot. That I recall they have 2 singles (Trigger
hippie and Tape loop) which show their tricks clearly. If u like them
u'll like the rest.

They've been in Spain many times this year and the reviews vary
from time to time. Sometimes they say they're just too cold (everything
sounds exactly like in the album) and other times they're cool.
I can not tell u because I haven't seen them live... All I can tell u
is that I would go to see them if I could, and that's good, isn't it?

PS.: Do u remember Silvester?, the famous disco-music star?, well,
listen to "The human body" in O(+>'s latest album "Emancipation" and u'll
see. Amazing!!

What if God was one of us, just a slob like one of us, just a stranger on
the bus trying to make his way home...
