The Bottom Line,
By Duotonex (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultraglide In Black (Audio CD)
I cannot honestly recall how I came upon this album, but I can say that I'm very happy I did. Ultraglide in Black is one of those albums that you play at a party and everyone ends up asking you "Who is this?" because of its soulful and unique sound. Mick Collins' voice will remind you of a decade from 20 years ago, but the pace and chord progression will remind you that this album is only 3 years old. If you have any passing interest in groups of old like The Spencer Davis Trio, The Animals, or even a little Stevie Wonder thrown in; this album is a safe bet. Ultraglide in Black is without a doubt stronger towards the beginning, but the latter part is still enjoyable enough. Check out the Mooney Suzuki too if this suits your fancy.

Smokin'!,
By "bootsy1" (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultraglide In Black (Audio CD)
Was introduced to this album by a friend who had a hunch I'd like it. I am very grateful that he did, it is an absolutely storming album, not particularly complex, but certainly not shallow. What it gives is what music is all about (to me at least), gutsy, powerful grooves that make you stride down the street feeling like a millionaire! If you're after intelligent angst, buy Coldplay, if you're looking for music to jump around to playing air guitar (not in an 80's hair rock way) then buy this.As for the person who criticises 'Ode to a Black Man', each to his own, but to balance out their opinion, I think it is one of the best tunes on there. Enjoy!!

Modern Soul Explosion.,
By jason gilmour (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultraglide In Black (Audio CD)
Whoa! This is what modern soul/R+B should be all about.The super soulful vocals and Delvettes style fuzz guitar take garage rock to a new level. Most of the songs are covers of 60's and 70's soul songs, but The Dirtbombs super-charge these tunes and blast them into the future! Put this on and get the party started!
