Those are amazing experiences. I'd recommend buying either "It's a Jungle." or "Shack man" and listen to it from start to finish a couple dozen times. Once you listen to those two, you will buy the rest of their music, and then have no need for this "greatest hits album." This is a great album but I wouldn't recommend buying it. This album has a great assortment of songs which show off many of their older sides, but do not weave the wonderful stories their other complete albums do.
But if you're looking for something fresh and exciting, definitely grab this cd. MMW is a hip and modern jazz trio with a penchant for experimentation and funky beats. Their sound isn't for everyone. I often have issues with "best of" releases. It's a great intro to the group. But that's not the case with Last Chance. Either just poor track selections or a failure for the tracks to merge into a cohesive whole. It's excellent from start to finish and represents MMW very well.
they on some jazz-fusion stuff, not as hard as herbie hancock's 'rockit' but related.in fact, they probably can be considered the next generation art-of-noise (a group i use to love back in the day).some of the music here really stands out, i'm glad to have this in my collection. .most of this disc had to grow on me, like that hand-like parasite from the alien movies.and after awhile it did just that. they grabbed me by the throat and told me to pay attention.
I saw them last night live and they were even worse in person. It is simply the worst thing I've ever heard. listen to this only if you're in need of a soundtrak for underwater alien observation or you're trying to drive someone crazy. This band (using that term loosely) sounds like a combination of people who've forgotten how to play their instruments and Dead Heads with nothing else to do.
BUBBLEHOUSE IS DOPE. totally sick. What an amazing cd, you have all the best of MMW and the jazzy hip hop feel of good times. This cd should be owned by all jazz fans.
