Klute covers the whole spectrum.......2005-06-27

I've seen (heard--whatever) Klute spin a few times, and he is unbelievable. Mostly dark , hard stuff (which is my taste--see his Breakbeat Science Exercise mix CD). This orginally produced music by him brings out some different tastes I didn't realize he had in him. I'm not going to get into his "collage of genres" cd (#2) [revision--I actually wrote this review before I had given disc #2 a full listen. There is some really good sh** here--especially for you breaks/ party dj's--that would probably never think to look in a D&B's producers direction for such trax--check "Artificial Sense" and "Overchoice"], but cd #1 has a lot of flavours on it. I'm not a big 2 step fan, but "Part of Me" is completely addicting. "Problem Reaction" and "Tacky"--("Ether" falls somewhere in between 2 step & jungle)-- are typical Klute standouts, and only he and High Conrast could even get me in the 2 stepping groove (if you can call it that). According to silly people who don't have a clue about music, D&B is fading as a genre. But w/ more producers like Klute (and High Contrast) around, it will be here to stay.

A bright light in the wasteland that is now Drum & Bass.......2004-12-15

If you're like the other clowns in this review list that like aggressive non-funky, non-musical D&B than don't buy this album. Then you too can be part of the reason that D&B fell off a cliff into machine grinding whackness. This CD along with Calibre, Carlito & Addiction, NuTone, the brazilian sound (patife, marky, drumagick), high contrast, london electricity, is what has brought a glimmer of hope back to the scene. For the non-musical clowns, you can stay down in the basement and grab each others @sses...because there sure as hell ain't no ladies down there.

Simply A Masterpiece.......2004-04-22

I'm not feeling the second house/downtempo CD, but as a fan of D&B, I can honestly say that the CD1 is one of the greatest albums I've listened to. This realization took a few listens to arrive, but it arrived none the less. Klute proves that not only is he an incredible producer, but also that D&B can become just as deep/complex/beautiful as any other sound the human ear can detect.
I say without a doubt purchase this CD if you are a fan of D&B, and esspecially if you are not. It's filled me with joy, energy, and above all else- inspiration. Just incredible.

Fav tracks: ALL (I mean that)

for the hater in you.......2004-01-26

you know why i don't get down with the jungle scene much any more...cuz i swear, more than any other music scene, there are tons of haters...snobs who won't dance they'll just stand there bickering to their friends about how DJ so and so doesn't live up to their standards instead of cutting loose and actually having a good time. that said, i'm sure klute would give a big middle finger to these types. this cd stayed in my cars deck for months and im just getting around to talking about. true there are some tunes which are only alright in my opinion it has a heaping of some of the most epic and catchy and good feeling tunes out there. oh yeah i love minimial techno, house blah blah blah but he should have definetly stayed away from releasing the second cd with the first. besides like one song that cd is dreck and is ignored in my mind. i guess there is a hater in everybody

You should be ashamed..........2003-11-25

"There is alot to be shameful of in the music business. What was once simply a means of getting music to the people who want it is now nothing more than a burger chain. Sure this is no news as far as major record companies go but it seems the maketing disease has spread to all levels of music. In everyones desperartion to be bigger than human, the rot has set in and image and status have all but stolen musical content. Things sell these days more because people are told to buy. These are the times of lifestyles, logos, branding, market shares, and averages - and we are all effected. It's time to get back to the root of why we are all here... Music, pure and simple." Tom Withers aka Klute - CD sleeve notes of lie cheat & steal

The drum 'n' bass scene is becoming full of mediocre producers and DJs who rehash and remix the same stuff over and over again. Klute won't come out and say this directly, but I will. But like him, I won't name any names or labels. Do yourself a favor and pick this CD up if you are a fan of any type of dnb. Lie Cheat & Steal is full of distinctive, melodic, and deep drum 'n' bass, which Klute knows how to produce better than anyone else in my opinion. And always remember, "it is ALL JUST A MATTER OF OPINION."

Rockin' your house.......2003-07-18

We saw these guys with Lee Rocker,Deke Dickerson and Ghosttown.
They played the Coach House in So. Cal.
Nothing short of awesome!
The band plays great together, Todd's guitar playing is right up there with the likes of Brian Setzer. He even pulls off some great Jimi Hendrix moves(behind the back, over his head , and so on) onstage. Clearly has his own playing style and his album is consistent start to finish!

review of the entire album.......2002-08-13

I first saw The Fat Tones at the Alcatraz restaurant in Orange CA. The band blew me away, the guitar playing of Todd Stedman is fenominal, I have'nt heard such raw talent sicnce Stevie Ray Vaughn, and with back up from King and Schooler this band is going places. If you like blues you'll like The Fat Tones.

A FRESH NEW FIND.......2001-04-02

"Live,Cheat and Steal" is a rocking blues album that takes off right from the opening track like a 747 out of LAX with Stedman's driving electric guitar. The cd has good diversity with the San Diego trio's added horn section on catchy swing songs "Do What Ya Say" and the title track. From mid point on you start to hear a strong S.R.V influence and the album closes with "The Fat Tones" raising the roof on "Comin' Home", more indicative of their three piece live shows. If your type of blues is Thorogood,Kenny Wayne,S.R.V. with a lil' bit of rockin' swing Brian Setzer, this one's your baby.
