POUNDHOUND / PINAPPLESKUNK

The second volume of MASSIVE GROOVES from the Electric Church of Psychofunkadelic Grungelism Rock Music, preaching the Gospel Funk Rock to the unenlightened. Doug Pinnock's solo side project returns with more of the same, only better.

Playing all the instruments (except the drums by Jerry Gaskill) himself as well as handling the writing and production King's X mainman Doug Pinnock has come up with a fine album. If you like King's X and the Chilli Peppers you will love this album. Starter track "Someday's" kicks off the set in fine style with that patent FAT bass that sometimes goes Subsonic, mixed in with the Funk Rock Jazz harmonies and topped off with Jerry's superb skinwork what more could you want. The album has 13 full tracks and 3 cameo ones and varies from the blatantly aggressive "Jumpin" to the radio friendly "She". Stand out tracks include "Pinapple", "Jumpin " and "Rain" to name but three but there are no bad tracks on this set, just some that are more instant than others. Also, initial copies of this CD come with a bonus Mpeg video of the Official Bootleg, how's that for value for money, no self respecting King's X fan can be without this.
