In the 1980s and early '90s, TKA was the top male group in the genre termed "freestyle" and "Latin hip-hop." The latter is a definite misnomer, for this type of music isn't hip-hop per se, but rather dance music with hip-hop and Latin elements. Boasting such club smashes as "One Way Love," "Tears May Fall," "Scars of Love" and "Come Get My Love," this is the best TKA CD to own. While the New Yorkers' singing was never great, many of these high-tech songs (which use salsa and Afro-Cuban elements advantageously) are infectious and highly addictive. Much of the freestyle music that independent dance-oriented labels have flooded the market with has been mechanical and homogenized, but this CD illustrates that TKA -- whatever their limitations as singers -- often had heart as well as beats and grooves. ~ Alex Henderson

It's a great, funny title -- after all, the Oklahoma-based Kittens couldn't be any more American, even while embracing a sound and image that totally upends the conservative milieu from whence they sprang. Still keeping the same lineup, with Bell doubling as the producer and recording engineer, the four-piece steps up the energy level a bit from the self-titled release while not completely blasting out all over the place as in earlier days. It's a good balance that suits a band that's been around long enough to do exactly what it wants, and bless the Kittens for sounding as inspired and lovely as ever. Opening track "Light," with its steady crunch, featuring guest piano from "the young fabulous Derek Brown" and Meade's ever wonderful singing, is all the assurance a longtime fan needs that they haven't lost it, while also sounding good enough to win over new listeners. More than a few song titles show that Meade's knack in that area hasn't lessened either -- thus, "Gleaming Soft White Teens" (a title Marilyn Manson would kill for), "All American Wiggle Wiggle," and "John Wayne" -- as in Gacy. Both Meade and Bell sound just fine bending frets as before, with snorting glam snarls and chunky pop riffs, while the Johnson/Harmon rhythm section shows off its own quality throughout as well. Brown's piano playing appears on a good number of the songs as well, adding a gentle note of reflection ...
