Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Groove Collective's latest effort functions a bit like an auditory Rorschach test--perceptions of the NYC-based jam band's album change depending on the mood you're in while listening to it. For example, when having a bad day, the disc might cause you to throw it out the window, wondering why such a talented group of musicians continually insists on cranking out tired acid-jazz albums filled with clichéd flute solos, boring bongo beats, and tired Fender Rhodes hooks over ho-hum disco-funk rhythms. However, in a cheerier mood, you just might realize how pretty these old-school hipsters still manage to sound at times, as when lilting synths flitter about a plush musical montage during the opening track, "Time Pilot," or when a delicate bossa nova beat taps lightly on a drum cymbal on the whimsical "You're Stepping on My Daisy." Most of all, one might notice how provocative GC still manages to be when they hit a solid groove, as on the title track (the album's most invigorating cut) as a rolled piano chord continuously shifts and modulates over a hypnotic thump provided with funky grace by bassist Jonathan Moran and drummer Genji Saraisi. --Sylvia W. Chan Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - lean and meanA pared down lineup and softer, deeper vibe than ever before. Rating:  - Blissfully MindedI've just purchased this CD recently and it's the most awsome CD that I've ever heard. Although when I heard it for the first time, I was not to fond of some of it's tracks, but after hearing it time after time, I've grown to love it especially "You're Stepping On My Daisy". It's a song for your wondering mind. This is absoultely the CD to put in your collection along with other acid jazz titles. It's colorful, jammy and thoughtful thinking for your mind and soul, and if the fans out there feel the same way that I feel then they know where I'm coming from. Rating: - Mood, Feel and SoulA copy of this was given to me by a friend and it stuck on me right away! Declassifying the barriers as they call it, this NYC 7-piece outfit delivers the goods with musicianship and songwriting. Just the right mixture of Jazz, Pop, Latin, Dance, New Age and more to create the perfect blend of hypnotic beats, stellar arrangements, and airy vocals. It's All In Your Mind should appeal to a broad range of people. The instrumentals have hooks in themselves that should shake anyone's booty! It's just the right amount of sololing without being self-indulgent that takes the listener on that proverbial journey, but never strays too far from good danceable fun! Listen in good health! Rating: - Well worth checking outHaving read some reviews and heard tantalising samples before this CD arrived on my doorstep I was not sure what to expect. One of the GC trademarks in their earlier albums (for me anyway) was the huge sound of the horn section. I'd heard that some of the horn players had moved on to other pursuits, and that Nappy G was also no longer part of the lineup. With this in mind I was not sure whether this CD would measure up to earlier efforts. My fears were misplaced. Not only do Richard Worth and Jay Rodriguez deliver some of the most searing horn and flute solos I've heard in a while, the rhythm section just slams throughout the CD. The sound is more sparse than some of their earlier albums, but this is not a bad thing, in fact as a ...

Great beats, tight acid riffs and samples make this one of their best productional works. A good CD........ oNe |
