"XLS is a brilliant band, that has 7 instruments soloing at the same time.They produced the dEUS album "Worst Case Scenario," which is also great.The songs on this album will change your conception of what can be done with music.If you like Jazz or genre blurring, exciting, and innovative music, buy this CD."
Just an album you really need

"This band blows my mind everytime I hear em..... I finally got a hold of one of their cd's lately, but I had heard before... This is a must have, even with the high price.....
The cd starts out with a nice little tune, sorta like a song of celebration, with the evil edge.....
Then the cd really starts jammin with Fes II, with a ****in rockin jam.... I cant resist just jumping up, the funk is just amazing, probably one of the most addicting sounds I've ever heard
RIP is more of a jumpy song, a little happy with some crazy time sigs.... it's got a crazy little melody goin on, and you can see the talent all over the place
Yesbody 2 is a simple little song starting out with a little trumpet verse that keeps building... pretty good song
Skip XXI starts out with some humor, but jumps right on with a truly intriguing little rhythym... hardcore jazz is probably the best way to describe the song...
Yesbody 4 starts off with the building of all these different ideas.... just keeps adding and adding.... it's almost as if someone is trying to tell you something with each of the music statements.... it really speaks...Great ****ing song!!!
Charge really just goes and goes, its not a bad repitition.... they put the repitition out there so when they change it the sound is just awesome....
Yesbody 3 really has that something to keep you in... Its another great song....
Well I dont think I'm gonna go through the whole cd.... just gave you an idea with those songs..... go buy the cd for the love of god....unless you hate music, this cd will not upset you....
