Commercial

I almost feel as if they winged it on this one. Though this CD is still good, it's just not their best work to date. I will admit that topping their previous work is challenging, but creativity was lacking here. I feel that they "recycled" a lot from their previous recordings.

But check it out and let me know if you agree or disagree with me. I still love LAI, and will see them in concert come August here in Southern California, but I only wish they would've given it their all.

Given that this is the most acclaimed and award-winning album by Los Amigos Invisibles I was expecting something mind blowing after really liking Venezuelan Zinga Son and The New Sound of the Venezuelan Gozadera, however I was kind of disappointed. Don't take me wrong, the album is very good, but if you are buying just one Amigos Invisibles album and you still don't own the 2 albums mentioned previously I would start there.

Los Amigos Invisibles are funk!!! If you want into the secrets of the Venezuelan Party time gozadera, look no further. Their style encapsulates, fathoms and transcends R&B and funk. This is a band so tightly honed they make every jawbreaking funk break sounds like an effortless display of perfection!!! Jangly and percussive guitar, fever-hot organ chops, tight basslines- ever-fluid but omni-deep, and lest we forget the drums. Tighter than a fist. There is so much butter and cream on this it just makes me weak in the knees. Do yourself a favor and learn what I've know Since 1995! Los Amigos Invisibles are rhythm incarnate! Just over 50 minutes of the kind of funk usually reserved for immortals and denizens of the lower planes of funky good times. Brother please. If you buy this you need to go get "Not So Commercial" and now you've got a party.
