About Atlas
Amazon.com This daring quintet broke from Monterrey, Mexico on the scene in 2002 with their self-described "electro-Latin organic fusion" and turned a lot of heads at the 2002 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. The aptly named group continues their worldbeat party mix of funk, rock, electronica, trance, psychedelic pop, dance and more on their sophomore album. Choice cuts include "Airport Feelings," with its instantly infectious vibe and the trip-hop flavored "My God is So Quiet" which would fit in nicely in industrial/house dance clubs. With its start-stop dynamics, tempo shifts, and spirited jams, the 12-track album has a definite "live" feel. The only instrumental, "Do U Like It," is an intense rock-jazz workout that bounces leads between percussions, guitars and keyboards. But Kinky can also slow the party down, such as on the reflective tunes like "Minotauro" and "Semillas de Menta," whose hooky melodies and echoey vocal harmonies evoke nostalgic chamber-pop brilliance. --Ramiro Burr Product description Atlas custom designed business stationery at Stationery Xpress Review There is a moment during "The Headphonist," one of the standout tracks on Kinky's second album, Atlas, that boils the band down to its essence. After an introduction of horns and congas, there is a short, soft sample of a conjunto accordion descending, just as a driving electronic beat kicks in. Hearing that faint echo of the past jolted into the present is what makes Kinky tick. On Atlas, the Monterrey, Mexico quintet tick with depth. They pepper the party-rocking anthems that made their self-titled debut the toast of 2001 with modern takes on traditional Latin rhythms. Their electronica leanings are somewhat tempered, bringing an organic feel to songs merely accented by loops and samples. At times Kinky risk letting their samplers run away with them, their finely crafted pop-rock slipping into a loose collection of melodic noise, but as sophomore albums go, Atlas is far from sophomoric.
