I've like "the in sound from way out" but it builds up too much and
lets ya down..  in each song, as soon as the groove builds to that
critical point (where you think they'll just jam on & groove) the song
ends.  And there doesn't really seem to be much distinguishing the
music from any other groovy/funk/wa wa guitar music.  Genera-Funk at
its finest, anyone?

it is good, though
