Valley Advocate, CD Review >>
Bionico would make a great action movie soundtrack. Mixing salsa with '70s-era clavicords and some synth sounds, the nine-piece band are dead-on with their smooth rhythms and tight breaks, and are well-versed in Latin jazz and tricky horn arrangements. The CD is a dance party in a box—you can almost picture Cliff and Claire Huxtable tangoing to the Quincy Jones-style, jerk-and-flow phrasings. Though there is one track ("Bionic Boogaloo") that's a very cool vamp on the original Six Million Dollar Man TV theme (with real, vintage bionic sounds!), it's an anomaly in a roster of basically traditional salsa, and it seems like the "bionic" thing is mostly just a gimmick to sell the band.
