"A funkadelic downtempo excursion... Some of the best late night listening since The Orb put ambient dub on the map".
Product Description
The dubbed out funky sound of Clean Machine creates a whirlpool of sonic flotsam sure to leave you feeling refreshed. The mix is surreal and original leaving formulaic downtempo by the wayside in favor of mind-expanding frontiers. The journey begins with "Beat to Keep", a tripped out funk groove complete with filtered horns and wah guitars. What follows is an expedition into late night headphone listening focused on reggae rhythm and psychadelic soundscapes. Clean Machine is truly clean acid funk for the soul. Numatic Soul's track, "Dry Clean" orginally appeared on Groove Closet: Downtempo Bedroom Beats from Ball of Waxx. Numatic is fronted by Ball of Waxx's most prolific producer Brian Saitzyk (aka Eastern Sun).

Will peak your curiosity and draw you into it's tragic tale with just one listen.......2006-03-07
Man Without Eyes is a concept album that, you as the listener, has to interpret the meaning of yourself. I will tell you that the album's title refers to one that is blind to the effects of the causes they put into motion through their choices. The album is split into tow parts; Rising and Falling. Driving riffs and piercing arpeggio tones dominate "Take Your Face." Sammus' low-registering vocals enhance the dark tone that is being laid by the instrumentation. A meaty bass line prevails on "Lead Foot." Sammus expresses his main characters frustration with the people that hold back his creativity on this one.
"Hole in the Wall" continues on the dark road that its predecessors set forth, but relies on an acoustic background. However, as the song reaches its peak, the distortion kicks in. A long, progressive style introduction takes you into "Man Without Eyes, Part I." "Split" delves into the darker or more evil side of the album protagonist. "Fair Weather Friend" has a great hard rock riff that's pushed aside by Sammus' intense vocals. Multi-layered vocals help convey the evil turn that this story is about to take. I won't give away the ending to "Man Without Eyes, Part II," but this track is encompassed by emotional piano and vocals. You know what that usually means.
The Bad
I hate having to figure out what concept albums mean.
The Verdict
I'm amazed that Man Without Eyes is The Sammus Theory's first album. Most bands need 3 to 4 albums to accomplish the musical achievements that are displayed here. Though I found the story a little above my comprehension, the music is dark, emotional, and unique. Man Without Eyes will peak your curiosity and draw you into it's tragic tale with just one listen.
