supersub,
By A Customer
This review is from: STAMPEDE (Audio CD)
very ordinary soul until track 5 when the singing and the groove and the funk all kick-in, then it's a very special record. some tracks could last longer. will certainly buy more QSO.

Tru Thoughts -- always on fire!,
By Eric Solomon (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: STAMPEDE (Audio CD)
The Quantic Soul Orchestra (QSO) is the brainchild of Will Holland, who has released two fantastic albums on the Tru Thoughts imprint over the past few years ('The 5th Exotic' and 'Apricot Morning'). If you're familiar with Holland's previous output, you'll know that he excels at creating sonic landscapes of scultped breakbeats, downtempo strokes, and bass-driven jazz. The QSO's 'Stampede', however' may be Holland's finest hour. Whereas his first 2 albums conquered the art of sampled beats, 'Stampede' is entire live and sample-free, which makes for a rawer, more exhilarating listening experience. The whole album has a very 70's feel, but somehow does not come across as retro or kitchy -- quite a feat! All in all, 'Stampede' is a glorious summer listening experience, and it's a disc that I will return to many times for its superb percussion, drum, and vocal contributions. I probably would have rated this as a 5-star album, if not for its relative brevity (about 35 minutes) and for my absolute cynicism. That said, hats off to Holland and his band for making a truly outstanding, original record. Keep your eye on Tru Thoughts -- they're absolutely unstoppable these days.

Love it. But what happened to the sound?,
This review is from: STAMPEDE (Audio CD)
This is a great "rare groove" style CD along the lines of The Breakestra. What I can't understand is why it sounds so distorted. The bass is really boomy and the treble distorts. This really makes this disc hard to listen to which is a shame as the music is really fun. They sound like they'd be a great live band. Star track for me (and the reason for buying the CD) was the version of "Hold It Down" (4 Hero).Quantic - if you read this PLEASE remaster the disc ASAP!
