    Galactic backs each act with professional, jazz-influenced ease and, on some songs, a hedonistic, dance-rock pulse a la Prince, all the while keeping its Mardi Gras flavor.

    Throughout it all, co-founders, producers, and arrangers Ben Ellman and Robert Mercurio sonically map out a NOLA that's as vibrant and forward thinking as it is steeped in the region's rich culture, cementing the band's reputation (20 years in) as both innovators and stalwart defenders of tradition.

    Give credit to the band’s founders and co-producers bassist Robert Mercurio and saxist Ben Ellman who molded this album and show that Galactic doesn’t need a stable front person, or even a singular approach, to make their dynamic music connect with playful passion and vibrant integrity.

    And so Galactic continues to fly, not into uncharted territory but to the territories that we found before, explored, had fun, left, and sort of forgot about for a while. Bands like Galactic are good for this sort of thing: reviving yesterday’s sounds without the gimmicks.

    Είναι δύσκολο να ορίσεις με ακρίβεια το τι ακριβώς παίζουν οι Heliocentrics.
    Αυτό που ορίζεται με ακρίβεια όμως είναι το αποτέλεσμα του "From    Είναι δύσκολο να ορίσεις με ακρίβεια το τι ακριβώς παίζουν οι Heliocentrics.
    Αυτό που ορίζεται με ακρίβεια όμως είναι το αποτέλεσμα του "From The Deep" που ξεπερνά το πολύ καλό και αγγίζει το τέλειο!!!
    Πίσω από το όνομα των Helio κρύβετε ένας μεγάλος ντράμερ που λέγετε Malcolm Catto. Το groove του τύπου στον δίσκο είναι μοναδικό και μπλέκει πολλά στυλ παιξίματος jazz/funk/hip-hop.
    Ηχητικά το "From The Deep" έχει σαν βάση την jazz και μέσα εκεί πειραματίζεται επιτυχώς με την electronica το hip-hop το funk και όλα αυτά σε ένα φάσμα ψυχεδέλειας.
    Δεν είναι καθόλου δύσκολος δίσκος και προτείνετε περισσότερο σε αυτούς που δεν έχουν και την καλύτερη επαφή με την jazz.    … Full Review »

    Amazing Album!
    Macy Gray is just the cherry on the top. Galactic makes excellent modern funk that moves my soul.
