The Go! Team - Lightening, Thunder..
by: alternativemalta  18 october 04
rating: rating of 4

Smells like Team Spirit
What are The Go! Team? - they are everything and sound like nothing else you’ve ever heard. They are chaotic and organized. They are noisy but quietly so. Confused? Good! Lets begin then.
To really capture this bands sound you have to put an orchestra, rock band and a DJ into a blender and you’re still not even an iota there.
The Go! Team create a massive wall of sound with many instruments weaving through the chaos, such as a piano mashed up with a guitar, which is blended with a flute which is complemented by a DJ’s scratching. This is really an update of what Phil Spector and Brian Wilson tried to do but (and I may sound like a wanker by saying this) they never really achieved to the heights The Go! Team have.
This is truly an important album. I have a feeling that in the future some bands will try to emulate this type of sound or maybe attempt to as these guys have gotten there first!
