NNNJ --- Monkey Straddle

Oh! Good stuff. I feel like Chuck Barris on the Gong Show. This disc (clap)- This disc is something special. If you're in the mood for a good solid groove, this is a great disc to groove to. It somehow got placed in the international section at the station, but it's actually electronica. I've not heard much of this genre, and realize that even within it, sounds and music can vary greatly. This is the slow groovy end of it. Most of the tunes are slow to mid tempo, and the later tunes have a slightly more techno feel to 'em. The early tunes are just good slow groove. Fiji Geesus is a personal favorite, partially because I have developed a fondness for the asian sound. There was a lot of thought and creativity that went into this release, and it shows in the strangely named tunes. For example track nine is listed as nnnj and the track is a smiley face.
Track ten is titled "1205<-->180a".
Many bands I hear have a pretty singular and unique sound, so it's hard to pigeonhole 'em by saying I'd RIYL so and so, but in this case, I can say that if you like Art of Noise in the later years and Lemon Jelly, you'll probably like these guys as well. Dub trance, with a lot of trance.

Easy A.
