Free Music Notes for Divine Operating System

Free Music Review: Leisurely Funk
Hit: 5 Stars

The Supreme Beings of Leisure flaunt fly-by-night funk and sexy disco sleaze on this, their sophomore album. They've lost a couple members since their self-titled debut, and their sound has a little less grit, but their groove isn't hurt at all by their new slippery slink. If anything, the spirit is the same, resulting in another stellar collection of sly and sassy ballroom lounge.

Sprinkled with Middle Eastern flair and heady with pumping, big-band-beats, songs like "Give Up" and "Get Away" give the album its thumping pulse. Waltz-inspired and blooming with bass, songs like "Catch Me" and "Freezer" give the album its sleek, sultry spirit. Fill in the gaps with candle-lit rhythms ("Calamity Jane"), up-tempo gloom ("Ghetto"), and jazzy electronica ("Touch Me") and you've got a wickedly sensual and soul-hearty album that's worth the price of admission.

Divine Operating System Poster

Heavy with lounge atmosphere, but still only subtle tweaks away from dance floor nirvana, Supreme Beings of Leisure's sophomore effort has it both ways, laying down smart rhythms in a record that grooves slow and steady like a spy on a stakeout. Less self-consciously multicultural, Divine Operating System is more sure-footed than their self-titled debut, which too often sounded like Morcheeba lite. SBOL's members are a diverse group, with members hailing from Japan, Iceland, Puerto Rico, Iran, and elsewhere, but their debut was so smooth and so familiar, it didn't sound as authentic as it should have. Divine has a not entirely original feel to it as well, given the deluge of Latin and lounge-flavored dance records that have come along since downtempo took off in the late '90s. Still, while not terribly innovative, tracks like "Divine" and "Touch Me" have a fitting R&B aesthetic and a genuine thump. The Eastern-inspired touches that made their debut such a smooth collection surface occasionally, giving slower tracks like "Rock and a Hard Place" a higher bliss quotient. But another record's worth of practice has yielded more authoritative songs, and while it doesn't have a "Strangelove Addiction" on it, the agreeably narcotic effect of the music here withstands repeated listening quite nicely. --Matthew Cooke
