Self-described as a blending of rock, house, break-beat and drum & bass, Torontos own up and coming group Contact, is exactly that and then some. This groups on the cusp of something, its just difficult to say exactly what that something is. This review is based on a three-set EP, which can be thought of as a travellers delight or a mood setter for a homebodys tranquillity. One could say that Contacts sound is interesting, but what is a comment like that really worth? In this case, its worth a hell of a lot as compared to some of the mindless, repetitive drivel being played out there. Mouths should be wide open, pallets whet and heads held high for this groups debut. As for Contact, the strictly refreshing quality of their sound is that it is completely without overdubs real music, by real musicians. Bottom line, Im buying whatever theyre selling!
