- Big Papi



By K. Haynes

This CD absolutely needs to be re-released. It is the best CD that Special Efx put out. Many albums have 3-4 great songs at the beginning of the CD and then peter out after that -- not this CD.

Double Feature starts with a smooth opener The Lady and The Sea, then picks up the intensity some with the intricate Jamaica, Jamaica (with lots of wooden blocks from George Jinda), and continues with some songs featuring vocals (smooth scat singing) from Bemshi and others.

My favorite song is the smokey, hazy Mirrors with some of Chielis best, intricate guitar playing. Search For a Rainbow could have come from the previous Mystique CD, a slow-building burner from Jinda, with Cheilis e-bow echo guitar floating above.

Double Feature then saves two of its strongest cuts for the last part of the CD. Thy Kingdom Come and Northern Lights are both high intensity guitar-fests, with layers of acoustic, classical and electric guitars. Cheili does not cut either song short, but lets them both build and progress, taking the listener higher and higher before slowly returning them softly to earth.

Only Oasis, the last cut, is an optional listen, with some quirky, statcatto guitar and percussion that doesnt quite seem to finish the CD smoothly. But it doesnt detract from the sheer brilliance and musicianship of the rest of this great CD.

It is absolutely Special Efxs best!
