Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Forget Whitney Houston, this is good stuff........2006-12-16

If you can overlook the slight disco flavor of 'White Man', this CD is quite a find. Bill Laswell and drummer Michael Beinhorn (although the name of the guitarist escapes me) were meant to be a backing act for Daevid Allen back in the 70's. Tere's a lot of heavy experimentation here with synths, ambience, and flat out dissonance. Good stuff.

4 out of 5 stars Buying any album for a guest appearance is quite a leap.......2003-12-28

of faith. Bill Laswell's MATERIAL is always a much more challenging experience than the popular or radio friendly recordings of Whitney Houston. Laswell's music is jazz and funk based with continual experimentation performed with a steady stream of rotating partners and frequent guest appearances.
There is much to like here but the average Whitney fan is likely to be confused and put off if the only reason for acquiring this collection or "One Down"(Where the track first appeared) is her appearance.
