Product Description
From Amazon.com
Red Snapper would like to let you believe they've traded in their samplers for a drum kit and upright bass. Assembling a retro, jazz-inspired, live-sounding, up-tempo, instrumental hip-hop record, the British group has shed its former movie-soundtrack guise. As is fashionable in the breakbeat scene, they go heavy on the electric jazz samples, but unlike their contemporaries they know exactly when to use them; they have just the right measurement of both organic and synthetic. Tracks like "The Sleepless" and "The Tunnel" reap the powerful benefits of both worlds but without the pretension of some beret-wearing charlatan telling you this is real music. --Daniel Shumate

Soulful Sonic Intoxication, Dec 19 2001
By shardul shah - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Making Bones (Audio CD)
This is one of the most soulful acid jazz abbums i have ever heard. Simply fantastic. These british boys surely know their way around electronic as well as organic instruments. The lady's voice on "image of you" and "seeing red" is simply to die for. Excillent live sounding sets that give the entire album a very retro feel are intricately fused in with elements of D&B and Hip Hop. There are no filler tracks what so ever and each and every track is fantastic in its own cool way. There is one track that is absolutely fabulus.."Suckerpunch"..wow...i dont what its about this one but its a rockin toe tappin groove that will hit you in the face and you wont even know it. Production is fantistic..these guys are just great musicians and i am definately gonna check out their other stuff. The overall feel of the album is very raw and hedonistic and yet totally smooth.

Let's Dance!, Aug 3 2000
By "stacegirl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Making Bones (Audio CD)
I purchased this disc on a pure whim. Unlike my friend who was irish, this band is from England. However, there are several similarities. Both are well packaged, spirited, somewhat funky, and know how to get a groove on. while I am not fond of rap, I found the addition of MC DET to be a nice touch. With the exception of the first track, his rap is more subdued and he isn't rapping about murder, rape or other acts of violence. If there's a downside its the inclusion and possible over use of electronics which, at times, sounds a little dated. Buy it and dance the night away.

A Beginning or fin du siècle?, Aug 8 2003
By Ryan C. Daley "radioryan24" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Making Bones (Audio CD)
If I had the time and resources to make a film, Making Bones would be its soundtrack. Listening to this album and you find yourself within the inner ear of an encyclopedia of inspiration-its sources and results. Making Bones is jazzed up with improvised and inherent energy and yet so undertoned and nuanced by the gods of chill that you can listen to it while waking or sleeping. It is a bellicose album for the passive, the peaceful search for meaning in chaos and deconstruction. Amongst the sounds of bass, guitar, horns, drugs and the minimalist use of samples, these label-dodgers, artful in their undertaking, reproduce the sound of electronic music on live instruments and take the listener past so many different styles-- so many stories-- the majority of which are pure instrumental.You never miss a voice.
I'd opt for this as a soundtrack, my choice for an album for the next century.
