Having cut their teeth on the funk battlegrounds in their adopted hometown of New Orleans, these boys have honed their funk-soul-jazz blend to a fine edge. Their Capricorn debut shows the band maturing and expanding as they move from playful stomps ("Hamps Hump") to smooth boogaloo (the title track) to smoldering soul-jazz ("Witch Doctor") to spacy wah-wah-driven forays ("Tighten Your Wig") to '70s-style R&B ("Start from Scratch") to filthy, back-alley slow jams ("Quiet Please"). Drummer Stanton Moore (actually a New Orleans native) superbly anchors this mix, steering the band from behind the skins. Theryl de Clouet's vocals don't add much other than a change of pace. While the sextet's instrumental technique won't amaze, it's certainly strong enough to keep the airtight grooves endlessly flowing. --Marc Greilsamer

 Good Stuff November 2, 2008
Burley J. Hathcoat (Turlock, Ca. USA)
This is good stuff. I love funk, jazz funk, etc. and this is a good fresh take on this style. I have been playing it alot since it arrived along with stanton moore and ulu. This band got me heading in those directions and I'm really enjoying it.

This was the first album I bought of Galactic. I read an article about them in Bass Player Magazine, and they listed the Meters as one of their influences. I was not disappointed.
HAMPS HUMP is a great cover, different from the orginal but with a modern sound. Also QUIET PLEASE is 10 minutes of great jamming. I have heard many live versions of this song (as well as seen it performed a few times) and this CD version is the best.
All in all a quality buy if you like Booker T/Meters type music.
Wonderful! January 18, 2002

I've only gotten into Galactic recently, but I have absolutely loved everything that I have heard. The deep sounds of the saxaphone, the groove of the music, and the occasional raspy vocals make this a very enjoyable listen. Very nice with some great chunky grooves. This is not "lite jazz" so if you are looking for that, you probably need to go somewhere else. The sound of Galactic embodies everything that is New Orleans. If you have every visited the city and loved it, do yourself a favor and pick up a Galactic cd. If you have ever heard the "Preservation Hall Band" or just enjoyed a sax player on the street corner, you will be immediately whisked back to the feel and sound of New Orleans. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about this group and especially this cd, "Crazyhorse Mongoose". From "Love on the Run" to "Quiet Please" this cd absolutely rocks, I hope one day I have the privledge of seeing this group live in concert!

This is a solid funk/jazz/blues album that will have you groovin' out to every single one of the songs. Throw this disc in during a party, barbeque, after you get out of the shower, while your doing homework, when your driving, when your chilling with your buddies; its all good. It always puts you in that groovin' mood, and will definitely put your body in motion. I dig the instrumental stuff, but the bluesy vocals add for a nice change of mood. This album is funky to the core!
Groovy, baby! January 26, 2001

Don't you love it when you take a chance, buy a CD and it turns out to be exactly the kind of music you were hoping for? I had heard of Galactic because Warren Miller uses their funky/jazzy tunes in a bunch of his skiing movies. After hearing "Hamp's Hump" and the title track, I figured if half the songs were this good then the album was worth it. Well, ALL the songs are that good! I also love the funky tunes used in the movies "Get Shorty" and "Out of Sight", but had yet to find a good band or CD that sounded like that. The search is over, Galactic is it (a little less organ than those movies, however!). You'll groove to all of these songs, about half include a lead singer. Galactic has a jazz sound to them but they maintain a primary funk feel to their music. Some might compare them to Medeski, Martin & Wood but I say MMW is the other way around, more jazz than funk. Regardless, if you've heard at least one Galactic song before you're going to love the rest of this album. And if you have never heard Galactic but like any of the stuff I've mentioned, give these guys a try. You might have a new fav.
