Title: Mellow grooves
Review: Sim Redmond developed one of the coolest vibes of any live band around. He and the amazing Uniit Carrayo (Sp?) lyrically soar about the typical jam band or hippie band fare. They are more internationally-minded than to be lumped into the jam band mess. I definitely dig them, and older CDs like this are probably the best. The newest album is so forgettable that I already forget it's name, it's OK but doesn't seem as raw and pure as earlier recordings. As the band progressed they became toooooo mellow and tooooo smooth. I am getting worried that they are heading in an "adult contemporary" direction that is the curse of any cool band. Plus, even though they found a great replacement for Uniit on the new album, I think she added something extra to the band. I would still go see them live any chance I get!
