| 1969's The Meditation is pure New York boogaloo to the bone, for good |
| or ill. All the silky late-'60s pop vocals, punchy harmonized backup |
| lines, and straight-ahead Latin grooves associated with the word are |
| there in spades. Though many other groups flirted with boogaloo, or |
| entertained it briefly as a guest, the TnT Band made it their home, |
| their signature sound. |
| |
| Unfortunately, when one sets out to merge two otherwise unrelated |
| styles, they run the risk of doing neither of them well. Such is the |
| case on many of the tracks from The Meditation. The straight-ahead |
| Latino descarga track "Cool Slave," an instrumental jam, pushes and |
| pulls until it finally rends itself to shreds. The vocals on "Mr. |
| Slick" and "At Last" seem meandering, directionless, and pitchy. |
| |
| When one reads the nonsensical, drug-influenced liner notes, written |
| by the record's producer, George Goldner, one wonders if the project |
| suffered from a lack of intelligent and mature leadership. For |
| whatever reason, neither boogaloo nor the TnT Band had an |
| exceptionally long life span, the latter only recording three albums |
| over a two-year period, The Meditation being their last. Few other |
| bands can claim the short-lived genre as home base. The TnT Band went |
| so far as to bind their fates together. |
