Audiomontage - Snert

SNERT, the debut album by Audiomontage (better known as Jimpster), moves away from the fusion-electronic-jazz and into more club-friendly realms. "Abuse," the opening track, is downtempo all the way, with its shuffling, head-nodding rhythm. "Solaire" is funky jazz, while "Flyin' High" is as uplifting as a 747. "Barracuda" starts by annoucing that it will introduce us to Latin rhythms, and by gosh, it does, with some nice vocal bits thrown in there for good measure. Although all the tracks are polished, a few of them don't have that extra soemthing that makes them stand out. "Sound of Speed" doesn't suffer from this, however; it's horns and breaks keep things moving to the end. "Rezolution" closes out the album on a dark, tribal-flavored journey. Pretty good altogether.
