| If you're looking for hot Korean fusion bands your search is over! Net
is the best one I've heard. Take a measure of Bootsy Collins funk-bass,
blend in hip keyboard stylings reminiscent of RTF-era Corea and pour over a
framework of crisp, rock drum beats and 99 mhz and higher... will
emerge. I can't understand the lyrics but I'm sure they are brilliant and
anyway, they sound cool! The highlights of the album are the fiery "99
MHz", and the hip-hoppy "net (ID:BiHong@net.net)". The guitar-driven fury
of "Flight 007" is a latin treat playing slightly off of the James Bond
theme. While Net is at its best in groove-driven pyrotechnics, there are a
couple of ballads on 99 mhz and higher... ("You Are The One" and
"X-Mas") which are not bad, particularly in the hookiness of their
respective choruses. Go on, get on the K-Funk bandwagon, get a copy of
this disc and I promise you'll be the only kid on your block with one
(unless you live in Seoul!).
