Review

Rolling Stone (9/28/00, p.56) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...An urban riot of syncopation, sweat and studio trickery....a band that knows no difference between arty fun and sensual fire..."
Spin (10/00, p.184) - 8 out of 10 - "...An international pop record at heart, a glossy style-swallowing Latin American addition to the same party circuit of poly-disco cool that connects Shibuyakei chic to Paris house hedonism..."
CMJ (1/08/01, p.16) - Included in CMJ's "Best of the Year" for 2000.
CMJ (9/11/00, p.3) - "...A full-on party record that's equal parts Zapp, Perez Prado and Frankie Knuckles..."
Mojo (Publisher) (12/00, p.114) - "...A full-on collage of disco, sal-soul, boogaloo and funk, plus some more contemporary ingredients such as house and drum'n'bass....It's the sort of accessory you shouldn't be without while ogling at an outdoor swimming pool..."

Like Dr. Octagon, Los Amigos Invisibles have skipped the banality of Y2K and set their sights on the next millennium on AREPA 3000: A VENEZUELAN JOURNEY INTO SPACE. AREPA is no typical retro boogie-down. The hipster boys from Caracas have followed Sun Ra's travel advice and loaded their hormonal South American blend of acid jazz disco/funk/lounge/house on a rocket ship, bound for grooves of a higher order.

The band launches a suite of sexed-up anthems with the mid-tempo "La Vecina," followed by the sweaty "Que Rico" and "Cuchi-Cuchi." Guest pop songstress Martika blows some breezy Brazilian vocals into the mellow yearning of "Si Estuvieras Aqui" (If Only You Were Here), while "Piazo 'e Perra" is big-chorus, organ-grinder funk. If HAL from the film 2001 were slipped some acid, "Pi Pi Ri" could be the soundtrack to his daydreams. The club-pop jewel "El Barro" glances back over its shoulder to 1985, with singer Julio Briceno picking up the vocoder for some metallic vocal luster. The boys offer a nod to drum-and-bass with the thumping bagatelle, "No Le Metas Mano," yet venture off into more tropical territory on the faded AM salsa of "Llegastes Tarde," and the electro-chintz merengue of "El Sobon."
