Late for the Future

Amazon.com
Galactic has always known how to serve up the old-school Crescent City funk in all of its rump-shaking glory, and every stop on their endless string of marathon shows only tightens them up another notch. Late for the Future, their third record, builds on their solid funk foundation and stands as their most ambitious, assertive, and sonically interesting work to date. For one, Galactic bare their teeth like never before, adding a furious intensity and pure rock raunchiness that they haven't previously captured on record. Listen to the thick and meaty sounds they conjure on "Century City" and "Action Speak Louder Than Words." The band also explores new territory with tracks like "Hit the Wall," with its distinct Middle Eastern flair, and "Two Clowns," which takes the music further out than its ever been. Much of the credit must go to producer Nick Sansano, who has beefed up their sound and inspired a more multifaceted approach. Old-school funk remains Galactic's bread and butter, but it's no longer the whole meal. --Marc Greilsamer

Galactic is Godlike.......2005-04-11

Okay, maybe not quite that amazing, but this is still a great album. From the first track to the last, this album is definitely solid in terms of grooves. Stanton Moore lays down great tracks on this album. Villified, Baker's Dozen, Doubliewide, and Black Eyed Pea are all great tracks. Buy this album. Now.

Phenomenal CD.......2002-03-09

I bought this CD having only a vague idea of who Galactic is and what kind of music they play. This CD rocks! It's pretty New Orleans-flavored funk/jazz with some bite. I highly recommend it.

Theyve been coolin off since "Coolin' Off".......2001-06-28

Being from New Orleans and having seen Galactic 15-20 times, I have seen them stray further and further from their groove oriented roots. As a fan of the jazzy style exhibited on Coolin Off, Galactic's first and best releaase, I just can't dig this hard and edgy rock style that the band has developed. Stanton's versatility and agression on drums, Rich Voguls funky spacey sounds on keys and the occassional brilliant flashes of funky jams keep me coming back, but in recent live performances and on Late for the Future, Jeff Raines' hard rock guitar and the metal sound inhibit the groove exhibited on the older material. On Late for the Future, theres more of the gaudy Houseman tracks I've grown to despise, which simply slow the band down and cause them to lose their tightness and fluidity. I dont know why Theryl thinks its hip to wear the same ugly 3 piece suits and dedicate every song to "all the beautiful ladies in the house tonight" every show, but he's no Al Green.

Please don't go mainstream!.......2001-04-26

You know that band that you liked long before anyone else did? Like when you were listening to the Dave Matthews Band in highschool, only to wake up five years later to find your mom grooving out to Dancing Nancies? Same story with these guys. This funk/jazz band from New Orleans has been the foundation of my CD collection for a few years and has yet to make that big jump to my radio dial and I'm greatful. Every time I play this or any Galactic CD at a party I get comments. No one knows these guys and I love it. See a show. Get a t-shirt and enjoy the raw sound of New Orleans funk before your mom gets wind of it.

one of the best feels around, no doubt.......2001-04-06

I clued in onto Galactic after reading an article in Modern Drummer showcasing Stanton Moore. Little did I know that Late For The Future would be one of the best funk recordings that I've ever heard. The New Orleans influence of the group and the drummer gives their music the perfect blend of street beat feel and ripping solos. This almblum is great in so many respects; you can engage in the solos and the composition, or you can just sit back and let the groove do the work. I higly recommend owning this alblum.
