Review
Wow, this is music causing perspiration. With a tremendous speed, the drums beat you over the dance floor whereas the organ builds up a sound carpet, interrupted by furious soloes. Is it funk, is it dance floor, is it MMW? And what about Booker T? A little bit of all. But in the next moment you will be surprised by a Carlo who reminds you Jimmy McGriff with big band at his best. The background choir also plays a remarkable roll when performing like the Temptations in best "soul" manner or like a gospel choir.
 
What will surprise is the fact that a music of this kind is produced in Europe by Dutch artists. You would probably take it for a USA band.
