Album Description
"Field Trip" is the first release from the Northern Wisconsin Jamband, Floydian Slip. The album is a combination of studio and live recordings which blend nicely into a tapestry of music that is representative of the songs that have made this band so popular in the upper midwest. "Field Trip" is a journey through Rock and Reggae, well-crafted pop songs and psychedelic jams.Customer Reviews:
"" Lets Go on a Field Trip ".......2001-11-27
Better than a trip to the zoo.......2001-11-10
It is hard to believe this is just a quartet, because they have such a full and fun sound. One of the strongest tracks, "My Brother" is an excellent example of this. This single has an infectious groove, insightful lyrics, and hot licks. What more could you want?
Another favorite tune is "Another Way".
"She was joined by thousands who all came to see
The whole world sing out in perfect harmony
People were laughing, people were dancing the whole world was saved
She said I told you son, there's got to be another way."
Olaf Kirsten's voice (vocals and guitar) is unique in that it almost sounds fragile at the start, but then has a tendency to creep up on you. Before you know it, his voice is strong, fierce and solid. Aside from sounding great, his originals are inspiring, often hitting on deep and meaningful issues, and all the while, delivered in a danceable, funky tune.
Andy Noyes' (lead guitar) guitar licks and leads are unbeatable. I am surprised I have never heard him before on any studio work. Without being overbearing, he is able to weave his hooks and lines in and around a melody in the most pleasing and funky manner.
Jeff Kriner on drums (a former student at Berklee College of Music) is a master. His grooves are tight, solid and inspiring but his fills are downright scary. As he breaks into a polyrhythmic fill, you think for a moment "where is he going...how can he get back into the groove?" but in an instant he is back, never loosing a beat, and winning over the respect and admiration of the listener.
Josh Munter (bass) is as solid as they come. Never loosing the groove, he rarely steps out of the box, but when he does, it is only to provide a most satisfying and fat fill. Then he is back to the funky groove, something all great bass players do.
This band has something positive and new to say. In a world of over-produced, self-indulgent, self-important musicians who have traded in their muse for radio play and residuals, I say "kudos" to Floydian Slip. With a sincere and honest sound, they are doing it right. They are independent, inspired, and open.
This CD has been in my player for almost three weeks straight, and I am not sick of it at all. That says it all right there. I continue to hear new things that amaze me. Even though this band has a grassroots beginning, I predict they will be a breakout band shortly. They are making a name for themselves in the Midwest. Check them out if you can. Their live show is a treat.
