Always Fantastic,
October 20, 2005 ba (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: More Shine (Audio CD)
This album is not as amazing as their first album, but mainly because their first album is like nothing you have ever heard before, and this is sort of a continuation of that. Less electronic and more of a live feel compared to their second album. They've been playing many of the songs from this album for at least 2 years (more shine, amiga, karma, changes, sometimes), and one has appeared on DJ Nicodemus' album, but appears here in a totally remixed fashion (mariposa). Label problems delayed the release of this album, so for me it was great to finally hear the songs on wax, as they tend to sound radically different from the live versions.
Si Se is always great, and if you liked their first album (which means that either way, you should buy their first album), you will definitely like this one.

evolution,
April 6, 2006 alurazero "xlw" (houston, tx) - See all my reviews

the first offering from si*se was phenomenal in it's unique beauty. this second production, more shine, is definitive of the groups admirable evolution. what was the target of the first self-titled record is accomplished with great style, strong rythms and much better vocal arrangement. these songs are simply deeper, smoother, and sexier than the previous record. more shine is a testament to evolution.

Let It Shine,
October 21, 2005 Chubb Hottie (Austin,Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: More Shine (Audio CD)
I have to say that this is album is good. Very good. Having stumbled across the group via David Byrne's Luaka Bop Records site, I have taken some time to really explore the music. I just bought this album today. At this point I have played it at least 3 times. Every track on this album is great. With Carol C.'s vocals soothing you into a relaxed state along with the laid back sound of the track itself makes this album perfect for driving, working around the house, and playing at a party. If you are a fan of Sade I am sure that you will like this album. With the fusion of jazzy beats, electronic hints, and sultry vocals how could you not. I have yet to see this group live, but I imagine that it would blow the album experience away. Do yourself a favor and get this album immediatley. Might as well pick up the first album too. I know that I will
