Catwalk

Beskrivning:

Special EFX leds av Chieli Minucci, gitarrer, och George Jinda, allehanda slagverk. Sedan knyter de olika musiker till sig, som här t ex Mark Johnson programming/ts/keyb/perc, Jerry Brooks b, Scaksci keyb m fl.

"...While many thought their 1993 JVC debut Play was just the revitalization agent their creative careers needed, apparently Jinda and Minucci felt a complete stylistic overhaul was in order. Their next album was a complete 180, a total urban jam of an experience, and no discriminating fan will ever pigeonhole the two again. From the opening bouncing curveball of "The Nitty Gritty," it's clear that this new direction is working, and explosively so. Minucci's sweet acoustic strains are still quick as ever, only now they fit in snugly behind cool soul grooves, silky vocal sounds, and the slick bass of Jerry Brooks. Similarly, Jinda's percussion dances over darker edges and danceable funk....Much of the transformation is no doubt due to Jinda's smashing success producing new saxman Mark Johnson, whose funk-drenched debut poises him on the brink of true genre stardom....For purists, the extensive use of programming might be a negative; but anyone who appreciates a band's need to break out will find it all for the best. And just to add to the overall soul effect, there's a vocal cover of Marvin Gaye's "Mercy Mercy Me." Even without this track, Special EFX triumphs high above the crowd walking a very daring Catwalk."
