What would it sound like...if Frank Zappa hired David Byrne and half of XTC to play songs by the Commodores that were arranged by Robert Fripp?
Well...
Drummer, songwriter, skeptic, philosopher, and high carb proponent, George Hrab has released his 4th and bestest album yet entitled COELACANTH. Building upon years of playing and working with some of the most talented musicians on the east coast, George has handcrafted an amazingly fun and funky album full of tunes that make you smile, dance, and dare we even say it... THINK.
Combining the soul sounds of Motown, the greasy grooves and brass of 70s horn bands, and the nerd-rock/white funk of the Byrnian 80s, Hrab oversees his entire monstrous creation with a decidedly Zappa-esque skewed view. Insisting that the way to someone's brain is through their dance shoes, COELACANTH prides itself as truly being a collection of philosofunky biolojams for the skeptical zoologist's dance party.

Conveniently Cosmic
author: Marvin Long
I've had this for something like a year...and I'm still listening to it. Somebody once said "Free your ass and your mind will follow" - Mr. Hrab proves the principle works in both directions. (And 'Convenient' is the ultimate holiday song.)

This CD is pretty damned awesome. The music is great, but what really impressed me was the really original packaging and liner notes. Definitely worth picking up the CD vs downloading off itunes. Again supersweet CD, definitely worth the price of admission.

My fave Hrab album
author: Carriep
I'll admit-I have a thing for brass and funky bass. Have ever since the band Chicago. So I was hooked from the first groove of Coelacanth.
Be warned, though: you may start spontaneously dancing as you listen, so take the proper precautions.

Funkiskepticallidocious!
author: False Prophet
When I heard "Brainsbodyboth" used in the trailer for the Skepchick's Calendar, I had to have this song. Killer opening track just sets up the other great funk tunes that follow. The high-octane jams that close this disc are simply untouchable. Bravo, Maestro Hrab!
