From the Corner to the Block

Galactic's organic instrumentals maintain a stronghold among effects, loops, and other modern electronic techniques. In the studio and on stage, Galactic displays a remarkable ability to present modern material with retrospective styling. NY Times critic Jon Pareles noted that the group's songs are "carried by rhythms that distill memories of Mardi Gras parades, traditional jazz, and rhythm and blues...adding up to some of the most danceable music on earth."
