THE REVIEW

Hello everyone.

Today I want to talk to you about a band from Philadelphia called "The Jai-alai Savant" and their first album "Flight of the Bass Delegate" released in 2007.

The album starts with a dub music intro that lasts less than 2 minutes titled "Datamassagana" which connects to the 2nd song without pause "Arcane Theories", almost 3 very intense minutes.

But The Jai, on their first CD, mix various music genres in the style of The Clash, The Police, and Bad Brains. In fact, there's the reggae of The Police in the 3rd track "Scarlett Johansson", in the 9th "Sugar Free" and in the 10th "Murder Pon the Dancehall". In the 7th track, there's a song that resembles "The Clash" lasting 1 minute and 40 seconds, completely instrumental "Transmission from the Delegate". My favorite song is number 5, "Low Frequent See", the longest on the album (7.40) with a wonderful instrumental part of about 4 minutes that makes your mind travel and think.

I recommend it to everyone since there isn't even a single review about them; listen to it all together as if it was a single song. I really liked it, especially when I read the release year.
