Finally got a hold of this one!!! People talk about the US missing out on good artists, but in this case it's hardly our fault. Dorado needs to get it together with US distribution for their artists!This CD is definitely acid jazz, but the musicians stretch beyond just a lot of funky bass lines with horns. There's some techno stylings thrown in on a few tracks, some trip hop, and of course the piano, horns and funk that makes acid jazz so appealing.What I love best about the CD is that each track is very individual. Many trip-hop and acid jazz artists seem to create a "mold" and all their songs sound interchangeable. Outside really sound like they think out each song on its own.All of these songs are top-notch. About half have vocals. Usually, I find that I gravitate towards acid jazz with vocals/rap, but Outside create music that is every bit as compelling as a good singer! I like the instrumentals just as much. Great CD!
