Their witty blend of sampled funk loops, quirky sound bites and tub-thumping melodies was quite ahead of the pack at the time. Since then there have been a number of acts who have pushed the boundaries of what can be achieved with a trusty Akai A3000 and a mixer. Most of the artists on the Ninja Record label roster spring to mind as well as artists such as The Full Moon Scientists.
BRA's second release is treading much of the same ground although in addition to the speaker-shattering funk loops, they have added touches of latin, jazz and rock. Played at the correct volume (loud) the tracks hit the senses as a torrent of creative imagination and humour. Humour is one of BRA's hallmarks as evidenced at their recent festival gigs and it sits well with the rest of the music.
If one is looking for them to break new ground, this is not the CD to do it but if you need more of their quirky brand of music, then this will satisfy your appetite but I suspect will not stand the test of time as one of the landmarks of sampling history.
