Album Notes

Reviwers have said:

"Completely original and void of all restrictions Conundrum's "Tea" is a work for all times." -Metronome

Conundrum's mix of electronics, folkloric percussion (think west Africa and Bali), funk, vocals, electric guitar, and horns conjures up a 90's updating of 70's Miles, Curtis Mayfield blaxploitation soundtracks and the best of jazz-rock fusion experimentation. - Boston Pheonix

" A stellar and visioanry album that whirls horns, guitars, basses, ethnic instruments, and "junk" together into a rich organic maestrm shocked through with 70's funk, African swagger, jazz harmony, Afro -cuban rhytmic conception." Jon Babu-The Performer

"The groove is dark organic blend of acid jazz, world beat, bebop, electronic, urban and textural ambience that will make your hair stand on end. The album itself seems to play like the ultimate after hours musical loft party." Joel Simches-The Noise

"Top 5 Local Product" WFNX, Boston
