[.ca] Illegal Cargo (W/3 Bonus Tracks)

Just fantastic!:
A British friend introduced me to Slow Train and I must say since I have purchased this CD, it has not left my CD player! This is soulful lounge music! "Twisted Cupid" is just hypnotic! If you are a fan of Hotel Costes then you will be more that happy you invested in this CD.

ILLEGALLY YOURS!!!:
I first discovered Slow Train Soul on the "Hotel Costes 6" CD--"In the Black of Night"--and decided to try them out. Slow Train Soul are the petite Lady Z and a hippie named Morten Varano, who have put together a very impressive CD. Lady Z's vocals are dark and sensual and meander across lazy, melodic riffs and funky basslines like a true veteran. Songs of note are "Slow Train", "Illegal Cargo", "Intuition", "Inna City Woman", "Trail of Dawn" and "Stoned Rays." Slow Train Soul's "Illegal Cargo" chugs along at a pace that's easy on the body and on the mind. Recommended!

Great CD:
I love this album! It's so lush and complex it's hard to describe, but I'll try. I definitely hear some soul influence in the music but it's also pretty electronic in nature. it's very layered, with a variety of different textures and sounds. The production work is genius and the vocals totally hit me right where I live. This could possible be described as lounge music, although I think it's a little more evocative than that. Well, that's the best I can do, all I can say is I highly reccomend it, well done!
