Eclectic, diverse, interesting, intriquing, etc.,
GIGANTIC is a fun and pleasantly quirky album with a diverse collection of musicians providing a handful of quality music. At least one previous reviewer seems to get this right, most of the rest too easily toss off the quality here, which is not surprising, considering the multitude of spoiled children in this country with every advantage and an excess of complaints about the quality. That’s a pity because Amazon deserves credit for providing plenty of diverse music on this site — free for the taking.
The Walkmen’s sound is reminiscent of The Waterboys The Whole of the Moon: The Music of the Waterboys & Mike Scott more than Dylan — fresh and somehow retro. Frances walks a fine line between Human Sexual Response Fig. 15 and early Talking Heads Talking Heads: 77. The Rumble Strips remind me of The Smiths Hatful of Hollow with horns! Kevin Ayers’ voice is downright dreamy, like Brad Roberts of Crashtest Dummies I Don’t Care That You Don’t Mind but a bit less tongue in cheek. Dragons of Zynth is a cool blend of easy listening and a bit of white noise. Add Aa’s “Best of Seven” with their Afro-Ambient percussion fest, the Boggs recalling of the Troggs The Singles A’s & B’s, and Harlem Shakes’ balance between driving rhythm and catchy, charming lyrics and verses, then I challenge anyone to find a more diverse album that would get toes tapping and put some smiles on the faces of those who appreciate authentic creativity. Cheers!

|This is alternative music—NOT rock—and is good,
It’s unfair to classify this album as rock as it definitely misses that genre—it’s more eclectic than that and would better fit into the alternative section. My favorite on this album is Kevin Ayers’ “Cold Shoulder” which features a mix of stringed instruments and a mellow voice with a melancholy view of the world—”nothing left to dream on.” My next favorite is Harlem Shakes which doesn’t have a promising start, but driving percussion gradually works itself out to hope “this will be a better year.”
“Remember the Orphans” by The Boggs has a derivative punk feel to it and “No Soul” sounds like an Elvis Costello wannabe, and I enjoyed them considering they were free. I didn’t care for the songs others chose: Aa and Dragons of Zynth featured percussion only and did not appeal to me at all. The remainders were unremarkable.

|oldie but goodie,
This was my 40 year old daughter’s favorite song so when I saw it this album, I had to get for her 11 year old son. Even though, it is not the original band, the song was still good for my grandson. Now he listens to what his Mom liked when she was his age. That is cool.
