Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, CD Mention (from larger text) >>
Finally, we arrive at New York City (8) for Hazmat Modine’s outrageously entertaining Bahamut (Gekophonic). The band’s truly singular approach embraces many pre-World War II sounds — blues, jazz, calypso, ska, klezmer and more. Amazingly, it works. “Yesterday Morning” has a New Orleans funeral/reggae fusion, while “It Calls Me” has a strong Mississippi blues feel joined with Tuvan throat singers Huun Huur Tu.
Exotic, multi-national instrumentation that circles the globe keeps ears guessing where this band will go next. Contemporary and ancient at the same time, Hazmat Modine is a spirited, invigorating adventure and loads of fun. Those who appreciate experimental rock bands such as the Squirrel Nut Zippers will find much to like here. 12/10/06 >> go there
