Editorial Reviews
Vibe
"Mashes fiery horns, tasty guitar riffs, and cookin' percussion"

Product Description
This is the follow-up to the widely acclaimed "Mishaps Happening" album. The QSO make killer funk with enough bottom-end to burn any dance floor, and this album features several tracks with the super powerful vocals of Alice Russell. This music is raw, rough, and real, flaunting a deep funk sound buoyed by great songs, heavy bass lines, cracking drums, and a full horn section. For fans of The JB's, Breakestra, Medeski Martin & Wood, The Greyboy Allstars, and Antibalas.

5 out of 5 stars Based on one song only -- I must have!.......2006-02-24

I just heard this band for the first time, playing "Pushin On."

They can bring the funk and the soul, no doubt about it.

3 out of 5 stars Roy Walker says "Its good but its not right".......2005-11-08

Its not a bad album at all but i think its missing something, the songs are too repetative and aren't diverse enough to make you want to keep listening to it. Not bad as background music but could do a lot better.

4 out of 5 stars New Retro-Funk Done Properly.......2005-08-25

I don't have QSO's previous releases, but I understand there was some sampling involved. Not here. Nothing tricky, just real-time guitar, bass, organ, saxophones, a few strings, and drums, drums everywhere...

Let me tell you about those drums. The kick has a huge, sucking thump to it, the snare pops more than it cracks, and the hi-hat work is mind-blowing. Then a crash will gradually appear way off in the distance on the soundstage... and it's all recorded as if Shel Talmy were in charge, 1964. In the red, big-time.

Each track is worthwhile, with the highlights being the near-perfect "Pushin' On" with great vocals by Alice Russell, and an organ and horn laden, smile-producing version of "Get A Move On." "Paintings and Journeys" seems slightly out of place here, being the only latin-flavored track and the only one to prominently feature acoustic rhythm guitar, but coming as it does near the very end of the disc, it's easily assimilated.

Granted, I don't collect Soul, Funk, or R&B (hence, I don't even know the proper terminology -- "New Retro-Funk?"); the last "new" pure funk disc I bought was Maceo's Grammy-winning Life On Planet Groove some dozen years ago, but this disc may actually have that one beat, in part because the cuts appeal to my short attention span (only two tracks are over four minutes long).

It'd be almost impossible to not have fun with this disc. The music is all about good times, even when the lyrical content isn't (which is seldom). The production is retro-authentic, but still very, very "hi-fi," and virtually all of the performances by multi-instrumentalist William Holland, vocalist Russell and especially drummer Russell Knight are right in the groove.

4.5 stars out of 5 (meaning, better than 90% of the music I've heard, and it's the drums that pushes it beyond that fourth star). Recommended.

5 out of 5 stars funky soul groovin rock n roll.......2005-05-12

this album is awesome, some songs are all instrumental and some songs include a wonderful soulful sister singing. the quantic soul orchestra is unique and very awesome.

        Album Description

        Sales Points: Will Holland keeps on with his musical mission under his Quantic Soul Orchestra guise with the follow up to the huge selling 'Stampede' album. Musically, the album has an energetic and dance floor friendly funk style with a sound ripe for the 21st Century. The album features long time collaborator Alice Russell on 'Hold On Tight', 'Feelin' Good', 'End Of The Road' and 'Pushin' On' (which has already been described by many as one the best "new" funk records ever). Mr. Holland was the first Tru Thoughts artist to work with Alice, and they always produce classic tracks whenever they join forces. Alice's performances clearly show why the major labels are now beginning to take an interest in this UK Soul Sensation (but hands off for now as she records her next album for Tru Thoughts to be released in September!). This is the 25-year-old producer's sixth album release and the quality of music keeps improving. Also features the highly in-demand cover version of Mr. Scruff's classic 'Get A Move On. Comes packaged in a digi-pak.Tru Thoughts. 2005.
