Summary: Love this music
Comment: I had been watching the Johnny Walker Black Label TV commercial listening to this 'very interesting' tune. I kept wondering who was doing the music. I did a search and found it was Supreme Beings of Leisure. I had never heard of this band but because I was so impressed with that short clip of the tune, I bought the CD. Got it, listened to the whole thing and discovered I had found a 'gem'. I just love this music and her vocals, very soothing and very enjoyable to listen to. Glad I did the search to find this experience.

Summary: Supremely Excellent
Comment: This CD is one of my all-time faves. In fact, Track 3 ("Last Girl on Earth") was my theme song in 2004. The album art is exactly what this CD is about: too cool for school, absolutely fab and groovy. Lounge meets electronica for a perfect 10.

Summary: Better the second time around
Comment: Sometimes music doesn't grab you the first go around or other musical tastes are more interesting at the time and a disc gets displaced from your rotation. Such was the case with this disc. I lost it and didn't redicover it for years and since then I have been enjoying these cool sounds that are part 60's r&b, part stylish-pop for a refreshing synthesis of trip-hop creation; it is James Bond meets Austin Powers on a grey blue urban landscape while Shirley Bassy's voice breaks through the chilly air. The atmospheric effects and programming coupled with the fusion of sitar and guitars is a nice space age goes retro result. Very cool songs include "Strangelove Addiction" that has a pop-trip-hop goes to the disco groove,"You're always the Sun" that has quirky beats set to the smooth vocals of Geri Soriano-Lightwood and the catchy, "Golddigger," that is pure soul at the club circa 1960 fastforward to 2007.A good disc to discover again the second time around or for the very first time. This is mellow yet strightforward trip-hop British soul for your senses.

Summary: Absolutely fabulous!
Comment: If life were fair, this band's song "Gold Digger" would be right at the top of the charts, and even more popular than Kanye West's song of the same name.
There isn't a lame song on here, which is something that you can't say for many albums these days. Simply the best!

Summary: The best CD i've ever heard!!!
Comment: When I first heard "Gold Digger" and "Under The Gun" on Dish Network's EuroStyle station back in 2000, I instantly fell in love with Supreme Beings of Leisure. Luckily a friend and I went to a Borders book store in St. Louis, and they had 2 copies of this CD. I wasn't disapointed, in fact, this is now my favorite CD, topping even Nirvana's classic "Nevermind".
Geri has silky smooth vocals that fit perfectly with the synth. Sexy, sultry, and smooth describes Supreme Beings of Leisure, and NEVER boring. I've heard there 2nd CD "DoS" and its not nearly as good as there 1st. I'm hoping their 3rd upcoming CD sounds more like this one (the first).

Editorial Reviews:

It's reported that Supreme Beings of Leisure emerged when a rap group called Oversoul 7 added a singer named Geri Soriano-Lightwood. Yet the band's laid-back dance grooves sound all of a piece, as if they'd played together for years. There's no messy merging of disparate styles, no rude sound shifts that occur when young bands search for their sound. Instead, this is a professionally buffed production. Though the three instrumental members all share programming duties and the music is certainly heightened by a liberal use of special space-age effects, the music is far more rooted in traditional soul-ballad and pop-rock writing than apparent on first listen. Tracks such as "Golddigger" and "Strangelove Addiction" borrow their hooks from the pop-rock dictionary, no matter how futuristic the desires. It might be another case of style over substance. Or maybe the band needs to transcend their professionalism and really get down to some scary stuff. --Rob O'Connor
