NOTES
Although the Jazzman label mostly concerns itself with old music - reissuing vintage
soul, funk and jazz, The Natural Yogurt Band are a modern day act, who happen to make
music that sounds like it's been exhumed from some ancient vault. The production is
measured extremely well, lining itself up with the aesthetics of yesteryear by
heating up the drums brilliantly and panning instruments hard into a single stereo
channel - that sort of thing. The fact that these guys are clearly highly
accomplished musicians doesn't hurt either, and certain pieces like 'Latin Illusion'
benefit from wild woodwind soloing, while the reggae-tinged 'A Broken Rose' flares up
with vibraphone and some searing organ solos coloured by battered tube compression
sounds. A great faux-vintage recording, filled with musty old breaks and
nicely-penned instrumentals. Ace.
