Goregous mix of jazzy lounge.......2006-02-21

Apparently much of it was recorded live for this CD then mixed, very nicely produced too. Beats having the usual set of random grainy samples. Everyone from my GF to my mom likes it, if that's any indicator. If you like this style, also check out some of dZihan & Kamien.

Refreshing to your ears........2005-12-28

This cd travels with me from home, car, and into
the job. After a listen on the web site I was hooked too.
It reminds me of a jazzy-azz James Bond soundtrack. This cd
is worth a listen.

Xploding Plastix ROCKS.......2005-12-14

Don't hesitate to buy this CD. Check out their website and sample some of their stuff. It is wicked.

Innovative Techno/Jazz Fusion.......2004-06-21

One of my best guy friends introduced me to the Xploding Plastix while visiting one day. Given his certain penchant for alternative rock, I was expecting much of the same, especially considering the name of the band. In actuality, the Plastix have discovered a formula to concoct a delightful blend of jazz and electonica--somewhat of a futuristic jazz, with many songs seeming apropo for a James Bond soundtrack.
The drums, cymbals, and heavy bass beats are truly reminiscent of a great classic jazz song, especially ones like "Sports, Not Heavy Crime." Others like "Tintinnamputation," though still identifiable as jazz, lay on synthesizer-esque sounds and sound completely new and different.
The entire disc is a perfect middle ground--satisfying for the traditional music lover, and modern and innovative enough for a listener with modern taste.
Like Bond, the Plastix are cool, unique, and always on the cutting-edge.

Great Integrators.......2004-05-26

I heard them on a public radio music show (KCRW), and it immediately caught my attention. I went to their website, and listened to their streamed material, then ordered both their CDs available on Amazon. I like the way they integrate a bunch of musical styles into something that's very coherent. The tracks hold your interest, and don't feel gimmicky. My only slightly critical observation is that they need to be more complex rhythmically, because so far they have a slightly "conventional" rhythmic vibe. I feel they have great potential, but would benefit from looking more closely at stuff like early IDM (say, Plaid, Autechre etc.), it'll give them depth. But overall, I'm extremely pleased with these CDs. The big test is if you can listen to them for extended periods of time... my test... I throw a CD and let it play in a loop... after a few hours, I know what I'm dealing with. This passes the test. It's good stuff.
