..."Ibbotson borrows enough from fusion and funk to suggest the
jazzy manners of Dave Brubeck, Herbie Hancock, Gato Barbieri, Airto
Moeira and countless lesser-knowns without resorting to plagarism
or disconnecting his music irrevocably from its true roots. Every
so often, all of these seasonings and diversions overwhelm
Ibbotson's house-ier inclinations and the spiritual link with
Chicago is temporarily lost ("Freeze;" "Depart"). That's when
Streamlines drifts into a category of groove shared by few of
Ibbotson's peers and associated more often with a label like Pork,
whose output is far too eclectic to be burdened with the historical
baggage of Detroit or Chicago. These exceptions are testament to
Ibbotson's skill as an original and promising producer. But it's
still the more traditional pieces ("Straylight;" "Nova;" "Hi Rise;"
"Circa;" "Numbers;" "North By North West"), underpinned with a
solid, reliable beat and kinky bass and generously decorated with
funk-guitar ornaments and bright synth passages, which are first to
grab you and easiest to love.
