Pretty nice guitarwork throughout.
The mixing is a little iffy and I also just felt like I'd heard this somewhere before.

There was a bit of a lull in the middle, but the last two tracks alone are worth the price of admission.

Perfectly straddling the divide between free-er, less structured music (“Africa”) and standard jazz in 1961 (“Greensleeves”), Africa/Brass is a dark encapsulation of what made John Coltrane such a powerhouse.

Pretty cool.

The slower tracks are the highlights, where the band can really stretch out and dig into some amazing counterplay.

Of course a Mexican-inspired Charles Mingus album is excellent. This man’s impeccable ear brings that rich, complex harmony to any setting and it’s just so damn beautiful every time.

What...
How...
How did they even make something so good...

Movements 5-7 make me have an out-of-body experience every time

Steely Dan if they did molly instead of cocaine

The punks transcend to a new plane of daftness

These punks sure are daft!

Rich character studies set to oh-so-delectable instrumentals

When the Sha be Dayin'

It's so over-the-top you can't tell if these Germans are even taking themselves serious or not. They toe the line of self-parody beautifully, making something equal parts ridiculous and profound.
"Pocket Calculator" is five minutes of pure synth bliss, with so many fun blips and bloops.
Peak music.

The blend of Paul Desmond's refined sax bliss and Jim Hall's thoughtful voicings are two things I could listen to all day.
A gem of an album.

Big Loada? I hardly know her!

It's pleasant enough, but even as a diehard Mac Demarco I can't really see myself ever returning to this. All the ingredients are there, but all the songs blend together into one hazy minimalist meander.

The vibes are there, albeit if their debut feels more like a jam session and less like an album.

Pure soulful electric guitar bliss from start to finish.

Putting aside Michael Jackson's fondness for kids...this thing slaps. Like, a lot.
The fact that Thriller > Beat It > Billie Jean is a three-song run that exists is sheer insanity.
Seamless, well-crafted, and immensely enjoyable.
