A good rap album that could've been better - rappers/lyrics aren't that good - still, you'll probably like it.......2006-01-07

Sweatshop Union's "Natural Progression" is good, but what stops it from being really great is two things - A: the lyrics just aren't very interesting (they aren't about anything, but they're definitely catchy most of the time), and B: the rappers are pretty sissy sounding (they lack charisma and aren't too memorable really - they can definitely spit, though - this isn't the kind of rap you would blast from your car). Practically every song here is very good, and there are certainly hitworthy tracks like "Garbage Love Songs & Cheesy Jingles" and "Better Days", for example. The production is decent - they can definitely create catchy and fun beats which are somewhat interesting at times. The reason this got a "4" is because of the amount of good/catchy tunes here as well as those two hitworthy songs I mentioned before. The lyrics definitely need a lot of work, though (and the rappers). Mainstream rap fans probably won't like this, but underground rap fans should. Recommended.

Highlights include:
"The Answer"
"Radio Edit"
"I Got News"
"Don't Be Afraid"
"Better Days"
"US"
"Truman Show"
"Baho Ang Titi Mo" (sort of)
"On The Sly"
"P.O.T.B." (sort of)
"The Way"
"Garbage Love Songs & Cheesy Jingles"
"Any Reason" (it's decent)

All you gay mtv-ers please listen to this and die if you don't.......2005-09-03

My friend is a major hip hop head and i am trying to catch up to his dope music and so i ask him so group name and he told Sweatshop Union and so I went and bought it the next time I was at a store. I put it and listen to it and even my initial oppions were very good but then once I was in my room chillin I truely realized how damn good these guys are, and how gay mtv sugar pop is.

Better than 604... Barely.......2005-07-28

I have had this album for a few months now and it has surmounted all of the other songs, with most of my 25 most played songs in iTunes all coming from this album. Honestly, it is hard to find a problem with the album. It isn't really for people who don't like to listen to music that will make them think, because almost every bar is filled with some sort of political or social meaning. It really is a thinking man's underground album, so if that describes you I'd pick this up.

As for the other Sweatshop albums, i believe that this is better than 604, but it's hard to say. Both are definitely top 10 albums for me. Meanwhile United We Fall, the most recent Sweatshop release, is a bit of a disappointment, though by no means a bad CD. But pick up this and Local 604 first.

How i was intoduced to Sweatshop Union............2005-03-15

All I can say is WOW Great Lyrics...I especially like US... It reminded me of the Political work of Mr lif "home of the Brave" another great album...

Great group... glad I stumbled across them........2005-03-01

The undesputed highlight of this album for me is 'The Thing About It'. Serious lyrics with a good rhythm, on issues that we can change. This song was part of the soundtrack for a mountain bike video and after watching the section 20 times I bought the CD and played that 30-50 times. For this song alone the price is worth it.

Sweatshop Union is all about the lyrics. Very high quality with a constant rhythm. Serious messages. Non-aggravating voices. I prefer music that I can actually repeat the lyrics... this is it.

Tracks like US, Truman Show, Dont Be Afraid are other standouts. The rest are pretty good. I dislike 'I got news' because it is more like gangsta rap (the anti sweatshop) than anything else.

To top it off, these guys are locals to me... I'm glad to support the effort.

A refreshing effort.......2001-05-10

As I just recently bought this on CD, I am again drawn into its relaxing and hypnotizing melodies. These two compliment each other just the way they should. Close your eyes and listen to Rotation and you swear you are actually spinning around, and sometimes going under... This would not be for lovers of popular music, but if you enjoy 2 musicians who love what they do, then give this a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Leadon's Eagles Follow-up a Mixed Bag.......2001-04-11

Natural Progressions by Bernie Leadon and Michael Georgiades was Leadon's first post-Eagles recording and although it contains some gems it is a mixed bag at best. "The Glass Off" and the title cut are solid efforts and Georgiades' "Calling For Your Love" may be one of the best jazz-tinged folk-rock pieces ever recorded. In fact, it is Michael Georgiades tunes that make this recording a worthy investment for the folk-rock afficiado. In particular, the tune "Hello Lover" has a great grinding electric guitar that contains hints of Eric Clapton and Stephen Stills stylings with a great Tim Buckleyesque vocal.

Blown Away!.......2004-11-14

I was able to see these guys live recently and besides the fact that they are all super hot and had sick infectious energy, I couldn't wait to get home and read every lyric on the album. Finally, something different that never seems to get stale! Cry Baby is my first pick as favorite song on the CD but really no track is unworthy of being called the best!

Top notch entertainment - new sound you've got to get.......2004-10-29

This is the best joint on my Ipod. I can't wait to see these guys live. The description above is accurate - punk rock and rap, but done in a new way - incredible turntable skills, raw crunching but tight guitars, smart underground rap lyrics (you'll grab for the liner notes just to follow MC Skoolz' dazzling word play) and old school punk refrains. The music has a new energy, sense of humor, and all the good things from the two genres it embodies. This is one complete album - no filler from first track to last.

Fierce lyrics, killer riffs.......2004-10-14

If you like the lyrical complexity of hip-hop and the aggressive immediacy of punk guitars, this band will rock you!!

Product Description

Recorded in 1994, Natural Progression features nine originals that allow Barbara London's quartet to improvise naturally over lyrical ideas. The album was released on a limited basis in 1996 and is only now being released nationally. Her warm flute is featured on most of the arrangements, with a fluid approach and a lyrical undertaking. London expresses mood impressions that take modern jazz for a pleasant stroll. Solo passages from her musical partners complement her heartfelt expression.
