...didn't really give a shit about Brit pop or whatever, any trends that were going on. It was just music we wanted to hear, really." But, lest we assume each member of the quintet approaches their music with the same idea, Ben reminds us that they each bring unique musical tastes to the table. Each plays what he individually hears in the music, be it a riff, slide, melody or funky bass line. This synergy of sound leaves Gomez indefinable, in a genre of their...
Fans of what one may call "progression" music--that is, albums whose songs seem to flow together like one long story--will enjoy Bring it On. Like the Dead or Floyd, the album flows seamlessly, and like a Marley or Hendrix, the music brings the listener into their frame of mind. Perhaps this is the most striking ability of Gomez--its music can't help but take the listener along with it. Just don't expect to hear them on the radio--radio doesn't cater to their type of music--you won't want to put Gomez...

But it's hard to learn what quality club music is when the drinking age is so high that college students can't go clubbing on a regular basis and when places like Boston still have 2 a.m club closings. And it seems record companies trying to bring dance music to the States can't avoid thinking in terms of rock music and keep trying to create stars instead of putting more emphasis on individual songs. Whatever happened to the single, that ephemeral nugget of sound? Billboard now allows "singles" to hit the charts even when record companies...
