A mixed four-piece from Santa Cruz, California (and past Harmony Sweepstakes participants) Vocamotion have a relaxed contemporary sound that translates well on record. Mary Chapin Carpenter's 'Why Walk When You Can Fly' complements the group's voices ideally, and the arrangement is terrific - the group briefly turns it into a round for the finale. 'Since I Fell' is a gem; it features a vocal horn solo that nails the instrument's inflection and tonality, which is second only to the dazzling lead vocal by Gail Clark. Several songs are original, and use humor as a tool to convey a point of view; 'Amazon Blues' describes one man's appreciation for strong women, 'Shy Guy' for the less-than-flashy dude, while 'Sock' needs no other description. However, 'Dancing In An Alleyway' is a nicely realized pop song, with a fresh melody and creative harmonization. Congratulations to Vocamotion for this skillfully produced debut.
