All about it!.......2004-06-05

This was the first album I ever heard Floater, and thus was the first time their completely unique and moving sound hit my eardrums. This album is a definite for first time listeners, as it moves everywhere from Tool like metal to an obvious affection for style somewhere in the psychedelic Pink Floyd style This band absolutely blows me away with every incarnation, and (being as I grew up in Eugene Or, their home town) I have missed seeing these songs played live But this is definitely the next best thing, engrossing, thought provoking, and fantastically sculpted, this album is an independent milestone, for a band that knows no boundaries.

Floater.......2004-03-26

This band is my favorite bands. Just listen to them and they will grow on you!

FLOATER / ALTER (PANTHEON 2002).......2003-08-18

A TRULY GREAT ALBUM!! I BUY MY CLOTHES WITH BIG POCKETS SO THAT I CAN CARRY IT WITH ME WHEREVER I GO. A DEFINITE MUST HAVE FOR THE DEVOTED FAN.

One of the Few bands that are the BEST but still not Heard.......2002-06-30

This album is a different band than any you have ever heard. They swing from Hard-Hitting Metal/Acid songs like Cinema, to slow painfully sad (in a good way) songs like The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy and Clean Plastic Baby. It is awesome CD!!!! (I will be true, though, a couple of songs are like jungle beats, they are cool and everything, but they could have left those out.)

Life Without Floater...........2002-03-27

Since I've moved across the country, I've had to suffer without being able to see Floater live. I've had to depend on my CD collection. The East coast has never heard of Floater.
I highly recommend any and all of Floaters releases. If you find one, snatch it up, it's only a matter of time when the world knows who and what Floater is all about.
Floater, native of Washington, Oregon and California drives hard notes with symphonic tones to your very core. Supplying listening satisfaction to a wide range of listeners, I would suggest this band to moshpit dwellers as well as Floyd fans.
Personal favorite: The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy and Crawl to you from the Glyph CD.
Fourty Thumbs Up!

A. Hall.......2007-01-12

This a cd done by a comedian in the 80's in the style of Cameo and the like. It was released for a short time only and I could only find it here.

WTH Boss fan?.......2006-08-10

Give us a break! This CD was not bad, so don't put down others for liking or hating it for that matter! It obviously was a joke CD. Therefore, I think you're taking it too seriously.

That is all.

Great CD! Bad music, lots of comedy!

EDIT 8/31/2006: Touche Boss fan: I guess you really set me straight. Too bad you can only put me down with words, instead of ideas. If you read my written reviews, you'll see well written reviews, with few typos. I don't know what you're talking about, bad writing? I'm confused. I bet you're the one who got my World Trade Center review pulled. Did you report it for abuse. Shame on you, naughty Boss Fan. I'm going to tell mummy. You're jealous, because I was the first reviewer, and I see you like to do lots of "first" reviews. Naughty, naughty!!!

Alright, lets not get carried away..........2006-08-04

Some bash it, some love it. Either way, those people are too extreme. This album definitely isn't great; it was merely a vanity project for Arsenio Hall (Chunky "A," get it?) who, at the height of his popularity was given a recording contract by MCA records to trot out is obese alter-ego (sorry to burst the bubble of the reviewer who seems to think this is actually Arsenio's cousin). This 1989 album may seem slight, ridiculous, and all but forgotten now, but in its time it was a harmless piece of comedy rap-pop that was amiable enough to stand with, while never getting the same recognition as, any rap of its type (Biz Marke, Fat Boys, etc).

I remember buying the tape as a fifth or sixth grader, and listening to it quite often. I found it funny, but as music, also not half bad, and plenty catchy. Like another reviewer, I picked the CD up at an Everything's a Dollar store several years after its release. I don't think I found it quite as funny as a high schooler, but not only did it bring back memories of my youth, but I still found something oddly endearing about its simple, ridiculous nature. You don't see stuff like this anymore. That's generally a good thing, since the music industry is flooded with enough frivolous recordings anyway, but a few projects like these now and then aren't all together a bad thing. Usually they are met with a fair amount of eye rolls and end up becoming something very much of their time; but years later, with all the discussion behind us we can just take these things for what they are. And what they wanted to be.

I don't think Arsenio thought he was gonna set the world on fire here or find another career for himself. He is a comedian, and as such, this project should not really surprise anyone since his brand of comedy has always been parody and face-shifting and character-morphing (ala his many alter egos in, say, "Coming to America"). I remember watching the Arsenio show when Chunky was on as the musical "guest." Don't remember how it came off, but he was able to make the costume changes between commercial breaks. Maybe there was a taped, split screen mock interview; I don't recall.

As for the music, its almost besides the point. A few of the songs just sample or outright rip-off real songs. Cameo's "Word Up," which every body remembers includes many shoutings of 'Owwww!' becomes - you guessed it - "Owwww!" That my not sound like high comedy, but "She Drives Me Crazy" from the Fine Young Cannibals, which becomes "The Ho is Lazy," fares slightly better - at least lyrically, mainly because the lyrics are so absurd, boastful and a dead-on parody of what "real" rappers were getting away with calling "art" at the time, the song stands up as an interesting rap relic of the 8o's.

"Sorry," in which Chunky pleads with a woman not to leave him even though he stole all her s**t, sold her car and he and his buddy Tyrone used her gold card to open a Popeye's Chicken in Germany, well... that's just fine comedy.

Then there is "Dipstick," (no subtle metaphors here, folks) which is also an obvious parody of the 90's smooth R&B jams: "I'd be dead baby if good looks could kill and what I love most is that your weave looks so real." And if overcoming subtle tendencies was A's aim, "Very High Key" is a smashing success: "This song is written in a very high key," he sings (yep, just as the title promises), "this song should be for Prince and not me." But the song also ponders those tough questions of life like, "Why do dogs hump your leg, what's the connection between pantyhose and the egg... I don't know what makes a man eat clams, I don't know what happened to the other guy from the rock group Wham." Sure we could all write this stuff, but that doesn't make it any less absurdly entertaining when Chunky says it with all sincerity.

And, like all 80's rap albums, there is the standard, anti-drug track "Dope, the Big Lie," This song is to other anti-drug songs from the time what Dolomite was to Shaft - a sillier, more low budget, less subtle clone. But like Dolomite, the song, even given the serious topic, like the rest here, is more entertaining than meaningful. And that is a good thing.

So that's what you're in for. No its not great, and it does not beg to be heard, but if you lived through or grew up with rap of the 80s and 90s, there is no denying that you will have a soft spot for an album like this. Especially all these years later. You may be embarrassed for Arsenio listening to some of this, but by the end, you may be embarrassed for yourself when you're tempted to give this another spin.

Somebody, turn up "Stank Breath" for me one more time!

To "MC White": Nice try, but if you knew how to read (or write, for that matter), you'd see I said several times in my review that this album is not bad (just not great) and is quite funny (I gave several examples) and told people not to be too hard on it and take it for what it is (although, 'what it is' will not be everyone's cup of tee). I know you're pissed because I called you out a few terrible and terribly written reviews you wrote (mainly because you did not see the movies you were praising your bashing - like this item, obviously), but that doesn't mean you need to start tracking my critiques and writing even more of your fake reviews just to get back at me. When I write something where I admit to having not seen, heard or purchased the item I am reviewing, yet tell others it is gonna win an Oscar or that they should avoid it at all costs, as the case may be, then you can talk some s**t. Anyone reading this with any doubt, feel free to click on the great MC's `see-all-reviews.' You're in for a jaw-dropping experience filled with fake reviews, poor spelling and grammar, and entire paragraphs that are either horribly tasteless, unfunny, or just make no sense (you're "World Trade Center" review - again, written without having actually seen the movie - should be stripped off Amazon and I'll tell you where you can relocate it to). I know this is the rise you hope to get out of people by playing your little games. Happy to oblige. And if you're reading this, I hope you have someone to help you with the big words. "MC White says: Two Thumps Up!" Hope Ebert sues your butt for copyright infringement.

Can you say lame?.......2005-08-08

I bought this album from a 99 cent store when I was in junior high. It was obviously Arsenio making all of that noise. I never understood why he even waisted his time. "the hoe is lazy" to the tune of "she drives me crazy" by fine young cannibals.....gay! Even as a young kid who sort of dug "silly" rap (NWA's automobile, Slick Rick's an indian story, etc.) this album just sucked. I was affraid my friends would see it so I hid behind my Vannilla Ice CD until I could take it to the pawn shop where they hopefully used it as a coaster (or for skeet shooting). I've got a lot of respect for Arsenio, and he is a funny guy, but damn!!! What a waste of studio time. Not recomended unless you have some realy good drugs to take with it (hoperfully something haluciangenic). Instead of giving this album two thumbs down, I'll opt to give it "the finger".

Got more mic moves than Exlax.......2005-02-13

Chunky A was a rapper who happened to be Arsenio Hall's "little brother" (wink, wink). His songs are mostly played for laughs, and they are actually fairly funny. "Sorry" is probably the funniest song, where Chunky cryingly apologizes to his girl for all the hilariously bad things he did. While this is more or less a comedy album, the last song here, "Dope, the Big Lie" is not played for laughs. This album is not a rap classic by any means, but it is one of the funnier rap albums ever recorded.

Piano Stylings to Please the Instrumental Fan.......2004-02-25

Thorburn's "Coconuts" CD brings a variety of piano melodies to the instrumental fan's table. From the soft and touching "Jamie's Song" to the soaring score of "The Heartland" and on to the toe-tapping beach rhythm of "San Felipe", Thorburn's compositions are the perfect companion for almost any occasion.

So whether you're opening a bottle of wine and lighting candles in preparation for company or you just need to relax in the middle of rush hour traffic, put in "Coconuts". I think you'll find it will soon be a permanent part of your music rotation. I know it is for me...

Album Description

SUNSHINE was Jacinta's first US single release and a Billboard Hit! The song is a total UPLIFT. This breakout dance single from this artist is one to pay attention to. Enlisting the talents of a few lesser known but promising remixers, we also have Peter Presta, Johnny Budz, and Tony Moran & Warren Rigg on board.

First remix up to bat is the Peter Presta Apple Jaxx Mix, immediately starting with synth work that feels like it is pulsating with a heart of its own. The overall production is constant and consists of a sturdy beat, interesting riffs and an electro feel - creating an almost moody mix.

Following is the Johnny Budz Radio Mix. Here is a production which is very uplifting with key touches of happy Euro-NRG - Budz continues on and strips down the bassline and speeds up the vocals a bit and it works well, very well. Dance radio stations across the U.S. are already including this into their sets - and it deserves to be there. Tony Moran & Warren Rigg. Need I say more? The creativity from this team has cemented their status as one of the most important remixing duos in the business and here we are again shown why. This mix is darker than the rest and the production grabs the listener immediately - taking your mind on a musical journey. The aggressive, underlying synth work pushes and pulls you to the dancefloor and with shuffling beats and keyboards that seem to build-up and stay-up, you stay on the dancefloor. With a sprinkling of atmospheric effects throughout, the entire combination will work quite well in a big room looking for something different and unique.

I suggest you do not pass go on the lesser known remixers here - the work they delivered is highly impressive and leaves you wanting to hear more of their projects. The vanAtom's (Jonathan vanAtom) Relucesco Remix hits hard and the bassline kicks back. The mix is very energetic and vanAtom impressively meshes the keyboards, synths and pretty guitar work together successfully.

I was completely thrown by the DJ Blaine (Soileau) Meets Hefty Lefty Mix Club Mix - this mix is hot! Exploding with "It's inside you," you find it is - the bassline and keyboards, the layered levels of synths. This mix feels 'groovy' and you can't help but dancing to it, whether in your head or in the club doesn't matter, its job here is done.

With a voice that is Madonna meets Sarah Brightman and is sprinkled with Alyson - I'm looking forward to her forthcoming album in 2007. In the meantime - ' give into the sunshine'.
