“This band is popular and quite
rightly so.
Accomplished and polished they
produced a smooth set with varied
rhythms featuring some really exciting
playing. Complex rhythms on the
guitar, some really haunting fretless
bass work (and the skeleton
upright was pretty interesting too)
all held together with immaculate
drumming and percussion. The band
played virtually non-stop for over an
hour, all infectious foot tapping (no,
probably more hip-swaying)
stuff. Really good long grooves.”

“To be honest, I didn’t know what to
expect.
Certainly not 3 funk-tight tracks
rippling with Latino groove. The band
has established itself in the UK
amongst aficionados of world music.
Nottingham Songs Pt1 suggests that the
step into the mainstream appeal
is but a short one. They must be
blistering live.”

“It’s hardly common to find a samba
act vying
for a place in the charts. I’m sure
the shimmering production and gloss
on Nottingham Songs Part One will help
Mat Andasun and his catalogue of
musicians. I Could Be Your Lover, with
a wave of soaring horns and
frenzied drums, is infectious,
hip-shifting stuff. Basement Jaxx
would
love their poppier stuff to sound like
this. But it will be Mat
Andasun’s live shows that make this
band.”

“Its a very well put together CD.
The Brazilian
song feel is the strongest in the mix
and it’s a really nice piece of
work. Should be a great live
experience.”
