Editorial Review: Amazon.com: It's possible to admire Medeski Martin and Wood's craft and guile in pushing against stylistic restraints while recognizing that their music isn't quite as much fun as it once was--or that this hugely popular trio may think it is. Full of shaggy cross-textures, plummy grooves, and spooky electronic underpinnings, Uninvisible is a lively sonic stew. Once a universe unto themselves, keyboardist John Medeski, drummer Billy Martin, and bassist Chris Wood continue to smartly expand their jam-band base, here featuring a brash five-piece horn section from the Brooklyn-based Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, turntablists DJ Olive and DJ P Love, and, for a spoken-word number, craggy-voiced Southern rock eccentric Col. Bruce Hampton. When Medeski is riding that Hammond organ and the group is taking its patented soulful detours, as on "Pappy Check" and the Booker T-ish "Smoke," all is right with the world. But even with Medeski dabbling on a roomful of other instruments, including the Mellotron, mini-Moog, and Arp, the songs don't have a lot of variety. And crowded with effects, the music can bog down in its own abstract logic--though there's no resisting the ping-pong game being played on "Off the Table." The chief rewards of Uninvisible are in the details. Until further notice, a headphone advisory is in effect. --Lloyd Sachs Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Killer album!I love this album. I really can't get enough of their beats. Not as experimental as their past albums, it gets back to the sounds that made the trio famous. They constantly keep it fresh. Rating:  - Another classicMMW is destined to be one of the best unknown classic bands of the 90's and 2000's.......great stuff thru and thru and not missing a beat along the way....new listeners should explore their larger catalog...truly an education. Rating: - Far Out MMW, (the cover says it all)The thing that attracted me to this album was the cover. I said to myself, thats MMW for you. I didn't think the cover would say how different this album was going to be, from their other previous releases. Well it did. This is far, tricked out music! It really isn't jazz. More borderline hip-hop, drenched in their usual instrumental funk fasion. I definately wasn't expecting what I heard when I bought this MMW album. At times, I had to stumble to the next track, because there were clusters of songs that all seemed to be sounding alike with no direction. I would fast foward to the next track finding it the next one to be more of a continuation of the previous one, rather then a new composition. There are a few shining ...

Rating: - Good, but not stellarMMW's most eclectic album thus far; read: sampling gets hot. For those unaware, this trio (keys, drums, bass) of musicians is known for producing high velocity funk. These guys can play, and at moments I think of comparisons involving the likes of Thelonius Monk, Charles Mingus, Art Blakey, Jimmy Smith, etc... And then at other times, I begin wondering if I am hearing another of those albums with a couple of good songs, and royal moments within some songs, but overall disappointing. This album is not disappointing overall. It comes out hard charging, incorporating acoustic brass for the first time and serving up a healthy sampling of hip/trip-hop. It keeps up momentum with very catchy rythyms and sampling during the first four tracks, ... Read More: |
