Hip Dutch group Montezuma's Revenge is back with this simply-produced contemporary recording. Allowing the songs and lead vocals center stage, the five men of Montezuma take on pop hits as well as lesser-known compositions from familiar artists, such as Prince's 'Sometimes It Snows In April' and John Lennon's 'Mother,' in addition to self-penned originals (the sexy 'I'm da 1-4-U'). 'Plateau' has a hypnotic repeating minor-third accompaniment that drives the verse; the swirling descent of notes that are the setting of 'Sometimes It Snows' are a modern tone-painting. The radio-friendly 'Virtual Insanity' (Jamiroquai) lends itself well to this a cappella version; anyone who has heard the chorus once will recognize it instantly. This CD reveals more with each listen. |
