No offense, man, but I'd consider some BNH to be over-produced pop drivel
(I'm mean, like 14 percussion tracks and "dream on Dreamer" dance style
tracks...), but I still think they're incredible, cuz even in that stuff,
the bass still grooves, the drums are amazing, the guitar is funky as all
hell, and N'dea is soulful. Let's face it, in the world of acid-jazz,
there's alot of striving towards "producing for homogenaity" kind of
ethic. At least the Musicianship is there with the PK, and they're trying
for a different sound, even if those efforts get squashed under record
company production. It may not be acid-jazz, but acid-jazz ain't
jazz and it still swings.
One groove. Keep it swinging no matter what you call it.
