Gigantic Music Sampler
GIGANTIC is a fun and pleasantly quirky album with a diverse collection of musicians providing
a handful of quality music. At least one previous reviewer seems to get this right, most of
the rest too easily toss off the quality here, which is not surprising, considering the
multitude of spoiled children in this country with every advantage and an excess of complaints
about the quality. That's a pity because Amazon deserves credit for providing plenty of
diverse music on this site -- free for the taking.
The Walkmen's sound is reminiscent of The Waterboys The Whole of the Moon: The Music of the
Waterboys & Mike Scott more than Dylan -- fresh and somehow retro. Frances walks a fine line
between Human Sexual Response Fig. 15 and early Talking Heads Talking Heads: 77. The Rumble
Strips remind me of The Smiths Hatful of Hollow with horns! Kevin Ayers' voice is downright
dreamy, like Brad Roberts of Crashtest Dummies I Don't Care That You Don't Mind but a bit less
tongue in cheek. Dragons of Zynth is a cool blend of easy listening and a bit of white noise.
Add Aa's "Best of Seven" with their Afro-Ambient percussion fest, the Boggs recalling of the
Troggs The Singles A's & B's, and Harlem Shakes' balance between driving rhythm and catchy,
charming lyrics and verses, then I challenge anyone to find a more diverse album that would
get toes tapping and put some smiles on the faces of those who appreciate authentic
creativity. Cheers!
