There is hope...

In the midst of so much empty and mindless music churned "out-there" comes "88:Kind of Light"... Slightly borrowing (and acknowledging a bow to) Beatles, Badfinger, Ray Davies & Co. among others, 88 manages to reflect the better days of rock and yet keep a style all of their own... The sprinkles of piano at precisely the right place reminds me of how The Beatles used the ivories to season their songs just perfectly... Inventive arrangements that makes musicians think; "Damn, if I could do that in the studio...!"... I've never heard them live but dare venture (by the other reviewers) that they sound just as good if not better... "Kind of Light" should, by all means, be in every pop-rock collection worth its salt... *****

Too good to be un-fmous

The 88 are one of those bands that you just have to tell everybody you know about. Infectious pop melodies, great lyrics, wonderful musicianship. I hope that they escape from cult obscurity and into mainstream conciousness soon. The music world would be a whole lot better with these tunes out in the ether.

It is nice to know there is still hope left for popular music. The 88 are fresh, energetic and most importantly really really good. “Kind of light” is worth every penny, and if you can see them live!
