Truly 21st-century urban calypso! The second album from Lord Mouse & The Kalypso Katz, the Germany-based outfit that is Europe's only working calypso big band — full of good cheer and the very best of calypsonian pathos. Wonderful stuff. This is the CD edition.
A back-to-the-future sonic adventure through 21st-century urban calypso, delivered by a marvelous calypsonian and his cohorts — with obvious reverence for the great forefathers of the holy land of Trinidad & Tobago such as Lord Invader, but also filtered through the eclecticism and humor of Kid Creole & The Coconuts. The playing by the 17-strong, internationally flavored orchestra is superb as well. 12 tracks in all. Get excited just from reading the tracklist.
