Free Music Notes for Trans-Continental HustleFree Music Review: Hot Stuff!
Ever since I first heard this band on the Henry Rollins show I was hooked. On a world where most music is a repetitive approach, so many out there playing but so very few that are truly hot, these people are a much needed breath of fresh air. Their particular style, the blend of cultures one hears and their frenetic but controlled approach to their sound. Accordions, fiddles violins?, guitars, bass and a group of talented musicians driven by a different drummer. Come to find out that this singer is truly a man of the world, living in Brazil nowadays. He is music personified and yes, I can see him playing by himself with an acoustic guitar anywhere, anytime. This is truly a music troubadour with eastern europe foremost on his makeup. Those gypsies over there are serious business! Their code of living is not your 9-5 got get promoted type mentality. They roam, they suck the marrow of life because they are genetically disposed to travel and they sure value music and dance. This is not your Pink Floyd, immersing the listener on themes of alienation and systematic pulses where the listener, hopefully blissfully high at the moment, listens to Money, Us and Them, letting their music, played to perfection, transport one completely into an extension of their sound. I do not know why I bring Pink Floyd into the picture because they are and have always been at the top of their game when it comes to sheer entertainment. No, Gogol Bordello is never the norm of what the Billboard reflects on their ritualistic tabulations of who is number one (Justin Bieber?) and who is down the line. Gogol Bordello don't play for the accolades that Billboard promotes, they are probably more from the streets than from the glamour of TV guide and American Idol. This you can call underground music, fiercely melodic, world savvy and a lead man with a flare. Great album, it appears their evolution as a group has only got them tighter. I am not sophisticated enough to be able to pinpoint the influence that Paul Rubin (famous producer or something?) has had in the band or if this new management has detoured them from their suspected path. All I know is that I was feeling frisky, cold beer happy surrounded by the craziest but coolest company, a nice desire to party on and when this whole album came out of the above average speakers at a very nice volume (there are times when you just have to crank the volume up!) it had enough of what was needed. This is not fake music and Mr. Eugene Hutz? (I am a wreck at last names!) is a rare find. I give them 5 Stars for their kind of music incites something on me that is sorely required. To me they are a band of gypsies doing what they do best and more people should take the time to give them a listen. They are something else, Hot Stuff, way past the boring zone.
