I saw KARAUS about a year ago at a local club and I was hooked then. This guy is like Prince, Michael Jackson, Sly Stone with a touch of Jim Morrison and Little Willie John rolled up into one. Electrifying performance live, I was afraid of whether or not on a CD he'd be able to keep the energy level up. I was in for a treat as they took it to the next level. You need to get this cd while these guys are still accessible and before they sign to a label and become ass-holes like everyone else. Great music to make love to as well...many a night I have put down sweat to this one.... A must have. - Christopher Pelly
