WRIR, Album Review >>

ARTIST:  Fat Freddys Drop
TITLE:  Dr. Boondigga & The Big BW
LABEL:  Electrofone
REVIEW:  Fat Freddys Drop is New Zealand’s most popular band; this is their second full-length album.  They call their sound “hi-tech soul” – bandleader DJ Fitchie’s primary instrument is the sampler, and singer Joe Dukie’s rich and mellow voice is truly one of the soul music’s great instruments.  The music mixes a wide variety of influences – reggae, dub, funk, electronica, jazz and even free improvisation play important roles.  The songs are long, spacious, jam-packed with great musical ideas, and supremely soulful.  There’s no category for this band; they’re simply one of the finest, most original bands in the world today.  Certainly one of the best records of the year.
