Reviews summary: Revelatory. Truely Revelatory.
Comment reviews: If this is not the future of Drum&Bass, then it is the future of Jam Rock. The two genres sound incongruent, but the revelatory sounds of Fosforo stand to testify that they are not.

Fosforo's catchy Reggae/Rock/MiddleEastern Drum&Bass grooves sometimes expand as if they are trying to reach your ears from across an other-worldly desert. Other times they hit you like pop music popcorn that jumps at your face for a moment, and lodges itself in a brain crevice for the rest of your irelicious day.

Their music is purely electronic from the synth bass down to the d&b rhythms. What seperates them from the pack is the fact that they do it all live with improvisation and songwriting skills dressed to impress. DJ Cezone holds down the ever expanding sounds the band produces as he plays a kit-drum that is rigged for electronic beats that he loops and samples as he pounds them out. Behind him, PMA/Edwin Moses lays fat & furious bass lines that will rumble out of bedroom windows and irritate neighbors down the block.

Riding high on top of these "onda proxima" elements comes guitar/singer/songwriter Rafi Benjamin who aims to trip you out with his dubby guitar hooks, and sometimes Dylanesque word play. On "Watch Your Back, he sounds ready for radio play as he warns:

"Watch your back.
Watch your backpack.
Here comes himself policeman
With him shackle, clack de clack, clack, clack."

Other times, he clearly challenges listeners with a lyrical poetry that is sadly too often missing from today's pop-electronica. Equally impressive is the fact that he bridges cultures and erases borders as he sings in English, Spanish, and Hebrew, and he does so with a firm ability in each language.

If there is one complaint I have with this truely stunning debut, it is that is misses what this band can do live. No two shows this band plays sound alike. Live, they constantly change up their sonic punch to continually suprise their fans in ever supprising ways as they wax and expand on their punky reggae jungle.

If you're a DJ looking to pick up some sick tracks to wig the crowd, this is a golden challice. I don't understand how a band this good who is this imaginative, original, catchy, and ambitious all at the same time can get overlooked by the music industry, but so far they have. Get this album now, and be one of the first diciples to drop tracks and spread the gospel of a band that will one day be recognized as one of electronic music's most important innovators.
