Title: Just Doesn't Gel
Review: Bottom Line: Not a fusion, it's a jumble of different styles that just doesn't work on this CD. Pass on this CD but give any future efforts by this duo a chance.I am the first person to applaud for mixing genres of music - when it works. But just because you can put a techno loop with a hip-hop rap with a rock rift doesn't mean it sounds good. "Human Condition" shows that. It is not that these guys are without talent, some of the loops and rifts are quite catchy, such as on songs like "Intro to Life," "Human Condition," and "Head Case." There are glimmers of promise here (especially the song "High Pursuit"), but otherwise it just plain doesn't gel. It sounds more like they were trying to throw together everything they think would be popular and hope somebody would find something to like. With a few exceptions this CD sounds very amateurish - like a kid in the basement plying with his new Acid loops. Maybe Ming and FS will get it together someday. Here's hoping.
