Customer reviews of Atlas
|
Customer Rating:  
Summary: A small step backwards....
Comment: A small step backwrads from their primer effort. Maybe they need to check their Atlas and find their way back to thier roots + eletronica rather than trying to be Ameri-pop-friendly. What we don't need are any Spanglish Bare Naked Ladies who are, sadly, all actualy men. Still- a great band who apparently I need to see live. Kinky in Boston anyone?

Summary: Hybrid cd of a great rock group
Comment: Green, White, Red? This CD is a Great Group Rock from Mexico. An Hybrid music from Nortec to Rock, Soul and Electronic Experiments. Don't try to lie Mr. Bush this is your gun music from Mexico
Customer Rating:
Summary: good album Kinky atlas
Comment: On first listen, Kinky are about as south-of-the-border and muy caliente as a college band from Indiana - with grinding machines and chirruping effects, they seem determined to sound as Norte Americano as possible. But this band (from Monterrey) is not in cultural denial, and its explosions of percussion, subtly picked guitar and witty pan-linguistic vocals make Atlas the most original spin on indie-pop in years. Sometimes they sound like a Mexican Talking Heads, yoking clever lyrics to pop-electro; elsewhere they're R.E.M. with an accent, or even a lilting, Latino Beatles. Joyful, sophisticated and prone to sudden bursts of vampire-movie keyboards, this really is a band unlike anything you've heard before. Lame yanqui outfits beware: They're here for your jobs.
Customer Rating:
Summary: An overally hook-em album
Comment: I never once listened to Kinkys' older material, so I lack the credible references of comparing how their newer work racks up against their newer work. I will say this, that overall I'm quite happy with this CD...I listen to Ozmalti and hell while I'm at even Mana and Molotov(So I've been exposed to some Spanish music).
Anyways, the first track "Presidente" is a sugar-coated dance track with one majorly catchy chorus. "Salta-Lenin-El-Atlas" displays the bands' more immediate Spanish culture while "Airport Feelings" tilts a fair dosage of rock meets electronica.
Sure, this isn't very advance music, nor will the 'Purist' out there find any semblance of earful listening, the music is groovy and in perspective serves its' purpose rather well. It has punch, with a hint of salsa and sure sounds nice with the subwoofer on high.

Editorial Reviews:
|
This daring quintet broke from Monterrey, Mexico on the scene in 2002 with their self-described "electro-Latin organic fusion" and turned a lot of heads at the 2002 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. The aptly named group continues their worldbeat party mix of funk, rock, electronica, trance, psychedelic pop, dance and more on their sophomore album. Choice cuts include "Airport Feelings," with its instantly infectious vibe and the trip-hop flavored "My God is So Quiet" which would fit in nicely in industrial/house dance clubs. With its start-stop dynamics, tempo shifts, and spirited jams, the 12-track album has a definite "live" feel. The only instrumental, "Do U Like It," is an intense rock-jazz workout that bounces leads between percussions, guitars and keyboards. But Kinky can also slow the party down, such as on the reflective tunes like "Minotauro" and "Semillas de Menta," whose hooky melodies and echoey vocal harmonies evoke nostalgic chamber-pop brilliance. --Ramiro Burr
