CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com If Monterrey, Mexico is, indeed, the center of the Latin alternative-music universe, then native sons Kinky are doing a great job of spreading the gospel. The five-piece collective's self-titled debut is an infectious collision of wah-wah guitars, pounding dance beats, and home-cooked rhythm and brass. The band injects just enough authentic tang in its music to raise an eyebrow with the traditionalists, while playing songs demented enough to lure in fans of new-school Mexican electro-pop acts like Plastilina Mosh and Titan. Produced by British tastemaker Chris Allison, whose previous clients include Coldplay and the Beta Band, the album floats on a blissful groove throughout, snaking through styles as diverse as retro shout-along funk ("Mas"), slick, Moby-like trance ("The Great Spot"), and Daft Punk-influenced electro ("Ejercicio #16"), without overpowering Kinky's own emerging identity. --Aidin Vaziri Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA great original pma | 02/06/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "After listening to their disappointing sophomore album, "Atlas", I was compelled to write about how great Kinky's debut effort actually is. This album is all about unabashed creativity, while not trying to target any specific market. The sound is all over the map - you'd like to put it in some neat little category but it won't fit there. It doesn't fit anywhere, and that's what's great about it. Full of energy, with electric guitars, conga drums, electro-beats, the occasional vocoder, goofy Spanish lyrics, it's hard not to get a buzz listening to this CD. Not only do their songs sound like they could be used in commercials, they ARE used in commercials (ie. "Mas" used for the Nissan Altima). I've seen these guys live and they pumped even more energy into their songs than what was on the CD, which is hard to believe, and this made listening to "Atlas" (which I was initially really excited about) all the more disappointing. Regardless, "Kinky" will stay as one my road-trip favorites for a long time to come." Another Bumbershoot Endorsement Enrique Torres | 09/02/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "To reinforce the other Bumbershoot reviews, these guys were a revelation! Inventive, high energy, pure shake-your-booty music, which is why I didn't mind the absence of a strong, lead singer. In fact, for these guys, it is a plus because it doesn't distract from the grooves they are laying down. Yes, the on-site store was SOLD OUT of their CDs the minute the concert was over!! So are others in the area, which helps explain why a bunch of us have stampeded here." Una de las bandas mas originales que haya escuchado whatever | Maracaibo, Venezuela | 12/09/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "BUeno quiza para empezar pudiera decir que el disco lo tiene todo, desde salsa, rock, jazz, funk, electronica por supuesto, todo lo que un fanatico de la musica espera de un disco lo puede encontrar en este disco sin ningun riesgo de decepcion. LO recomiendo a quien sea que aprecie la musica en todos los sentidos. No hay ninguna cancion debil, todas son disfrutables y placenteras y por supuesto bailables jeje...
a todos los fanaticos de la musica, este es un cd que no puedes dejar pasar por alto." |
