5 out of 5 stars Great! This will not be unknown for long.......2002-10-07

While vacationing in Canada I saw these guys open for Wilco. Opening band, yuk! Right? Think again! The whole audience was calling them back for an encore. When I got home, I had no choice, I had to buy the cd. I can't stop listening to it. It is not "dance" music yet I can't stop dancing to it. Everywhere I play it people stop and ask "Who is that?" And then follow it with something like "This is really cool." Not blatant rock, not hip hop, it is a fresh sound that varies from song to song but retains an underlying consistency. As a warning, though, because it is something new, it may take you a listen or two before you say "wow", but by the third time you play it, you'll be hooked - guaranteed.

5 out of 5 stars An Explosion of Emotion........2002-10-04

John Paul Klos, the Pope of Poetic Pop, and his piano playing sidekick Jacob "Liberace" Smith bring rock to new levels with their soulful jazz and raw bluesy fusion that meshes into a ecletic blend uniquely their own. Quietly reknown as musicians' musicians, the duo is joined by Jonathan van Herik, Graeme Gibson, Gabe McDonough and a host of back-up horn players who subtley string out melodies behind Klos' four octave, sometimes eery, and always ruggedly powerful voice. This is not your 12 year old sister's poster boy group. These guys are real, exceptionally talented, and offer a tremendous emotional surge of simple yet sophisticated music with lyrics painted to match. A rare combination that makes for an LP to listen to up close; and the more times you listen the better it gets. I recommend it highly.
