Tha Tan -  the Thai-Brazilian symphonic rock band made a great start with this album, not only because of it being the pet project of giants like Peter Gabriel, Steve Lukather and Brian Eno but also because this first album delivered a monstrous summerhit "falsified dream", which stayed on #1 for several months in several South American countries. The first part of the CD contains a powerful rock experience which clearly shows  the musical science education of all the band members (except for the drummer Bob)  while the second part clearly shows the strong influence of the drummer "Bob" (2m50 and heavy weight boxing champion) in the band since it contains 4 songs of 10 minutes only consisting of drum solos. This second part of the CD could drive you crazy, but apparently the live audience absolutely goes wild when Bob takes the stage.  In essence it will enter rock history as one of the most influential albums of our age but also one of the weirdest. (Tha Tan – To be a hundred was release by EMI on 28-01-2008). P.S: there are rumors on the Internet that the band is in the studio preparing an acoustic version of the song "You are Everybody"!

   hah, that’s awesome. I like how you wrote an entire review!
   it’s amazing how plausible these albums sound like considering the randomness of their creation eh?

   Yep, it’s really amazing how well it works with this combination of random items, I think we now only need to add an automatic music generator, put it through the “hit potential analysis” machine and we can roll out hundreds of albums a day

   Le premier album des Florida Oaks…

   Ne cherchez pas cet album dans les bacs des disquaires… car il n’existe pas.
   Dommage, j’aurais bien vu les Florida Oaks comme un chaînon entre Oasis et Rage Against The Machine

   L’album tout comme l’artiste sont totalement fictifs…….
