Free Music Review: Best Random purchase I've made yet!!
Hit: 5 Stars
One of my favorite things to do on Amazon is to type in bands that I know I love, and see what else comes up in that category...in this case I believe I was looking for Manu Chao and Pacha Massive was recommended...after reading the reviews I decided to give it a shot. I am so glad that I did!!! What an awesome disc! Rarely am I so pleased with a new purchase by an artist that I've never heard...this one gets better every time I hear it. On first listen, the opening track "Don't Let Go" is so strong it instantly became my new favorite song...the rest of the disc initially didn't hold up to that power, but the more I listen, the more I appreciate the scope of talent and range that this disc offers. I love it, I highly, highly recommend it!Free Music Review: Pacha Massive's "All Good Things" - An Awesome Album of Latin Fusion
Hit: 5 Stars
All Good Things is an awesome album that has been long overdue as far as I'm concerned. This album has something for everyone, and if you like eclectic music this is the first truly cross cultural hip hop album since The Fugees dropped The Score. While the fugees are clearly a more rap-centric group at that point, Pacha Massive's ecclectic mix definitely deserves comparison to them. It's that good.
Pacha Massive was on my mind long before they had an official album on the market. I run in a lot of different musical circles, especially in NY city. And this duo definitely has had a reputation for bringing originality to their own brand of Latin fusion. Normally I don't even like the word "Latin" but in this case this applies. This is a great blend between European, South American, African and American music styles.
Pacha Massive easily switch between singing and rapping in English and Spanish. They do that while mixing beats and music including trip-hop, Latin, hip-hop and techno beats as well as every musical influence you can name. Yet the combination of all these things is so smooth that I believe some may mistake it for "pop." If they get the attention they deserve it may become "pop."
"Don't Let Go" is a laid back track, but a great introduction to a fantastic album,. The rhythm and beat are well laid down and the chorus is very catchy. The Spanish rap on this track is also good and lends to an overall chill atmosphere. This is not the kind of mind-blowing rap that some are producing these days. But to repeat, I think this rap is intentionally laid back to not overpower the chill vibe of the song.
"Oye Mira," "All Good Things," and "Pachangueando" are probably most representative of this album as a whole and feature Maia on lead vocals, just like the title track. The whole album has a very chill vibe to it, but there is still a nice mix of styles in these songs. Some songs like "De pies a la cabeza," "Only You" and "Take it easy" showcase the male vocal half of this group. But still, it's the overall vibe that matters most on this album. And the vibe is great.
The songs on this album only get better as you listen to them more. Each one is a self contained piece that will make you wonder why more music like this doesn't get made.
This is music for those who are into latin fusion and have eclectic tastes. Speaking Spanish is by no means a prerequisite to enjoying this, but it will definitely aid your enjoyment. :)
I hope you give this album a try.
Enjoy!

An excellent produced set of great songs. Some slow and sensual...most will have your feet tapping to an infectious beat. Cant wait for their next album. Song number 2 should be a world wide number one hit in my opinion.You wont be disappointed in this CD i can assure you.Free Music Review: very smoothe and cool
Hit: 4 Stars
I decided to check out this CD after hearing a review of it on NPR's Latino USA program, and was not disappointed. The cool beats and instrumental parts and the smoothe vocals all come together to make this a really great listening experience. I highly recommend it.Free Music Review: Awsome!

I was lucky enough to buy 'All Good Things' on a trip to New York a few months ago. I knew nothing about the band, but bought it after having listened to the CD for a few minutes. This is an absolutely awsome album, and I hope the record company realize what a talented bunch of young kids they have signed up. Pacha Massive deserves a lot more attention than what they have been given so far. I am not from New York, I don't understand much Spanish, but it really doesn't matter. Once you buy this disc, it will get stuck in your CD player for weeks to come.
