Bob and cut a record that even they can swallow: a tight new combination that sounds like heavenly funk with a throbbing hard rhythm section supporting the grace and punch of Tate's guitar virtuosity, Laos' searing melodies and lots o' harmonies Ethereal, antiquated synthesizer by Powell completes the mix.
