Title: neo-Gong with a Brazilian feel
Review: It's kind of trendy to take a whole group of people throw together some half-baked songs with world rhythms and declare oneself to be world-beat, but in my experience no one who has tried to do this has ever topped Gong, the pre-world beat world beat band of the early 70s which has wandered to obscurity. Bottomland clearly does not measure up, which is a shame because they seem so nice. Here's a tip: work on the songwriting. My advice: skip this and see if they get better with their next attempt.
