Title: Ugh, don't bother. Mediocre content, poor mix
Review: I thought this was going to be a cool CD. Boy was I wrong.Most immediately annoying is the mix. It is so bass heavy that the vocals, horns, & instruments are hard to hear. Maybe this is supposed to either be a dance CD or only played on boom boxes & walkman's.Secondly and most importantly, Kid Creole has good intentions but doesn't make it happen. There is definitely something missing. I am a fan of big band, swing, and R&B/Blues with horns. This music may have a quick beat but it doesn't get my toes tapping.The music isn't cohesive and Kid Creole doesn't grab my attention. Maybe it is his monotone delivery or maybe its the uninspiring arrangments.Try the Brian Setzer Orchestra for an example of great arrangements and dynamic vocals that grab your attention and get your blood flowing.
