Press Reviews Cross Rhythms (October 2000):Review by Mike RimmerIt has to be said, we’re used to getting a few left field CDshere at Cross Rhythms Towers but this CD had Admiral Cummings and myself scratching our heads wondering who would make an album like this? Answer? A bunch of guys with a sense of fun andthe gall to perform these songs in local pubs and clubs. Definitelynot to be taken seriously, this is Latin rhythms, cheesy cheap synth sounds and a decidedly lo-fi production. Otis is the lead singer and delivers a Barry White sized egotistic vocal style(not sure if a Barry White style tummy goes along with this)interacting with suitably girlie backing vocals. Latin influences pop up here and there and overall it’s just a good laugh. If youenjoyed the weirder moments recorded by the late great Frank Zappa,you’ll get this! My favourite has to be the ridiculously cleverely titled “Yes Sir, I can Mambo” with its squeeky chorus and slimy leadvocals. Production quality is not really there with a lot sounding like it came from an old synth! But then this is so weird, who cares?
