Excellent debut album from Sydney-based 9 piece live soul hip-hop band KID CONFUCIUS, renowned for their energetic and packed live shows, clocking over 140 gigs since 2002. Kid Confucius' influences range from past and present heroes of soul and funk (CURTISMAYFIELD, MARVIN GAYE JAMES BROWN and STEVIE WONDER), to the new school soul and hip-hop kings of New York and Philadelphia (THE ROOTS, D'ANGELO, MOS DEF and DE LA SOUL). The album marks the band's transition from stage to studio artists and fully explores these musical roots and ambitions.Fusing hip hop production techniques and live playing, the record is full of loud rim shots, deep bass, big horns, vintage keyboards, melodic MC-ing and powerful sung vocals.
