This is their fourth proper studio album Galactic wholeheartedly move not so much away from their past as a bad-ass New Orleans jazz & roll concern, as they move toward another of it's traditions: Voodoo funk. Not merely content to grasp the Mardi Gras Indians or Dr. John esthetics, Galactic points firmly toward the technological present with their primordial groove machine music. Bass, bass, and more bass is the order of the day, and strange keyboard sounds come bubbling under like some lost Lee Perry session gone digital. Ruckus is a spooky ride to the other side of midnight. That moment in time when anything is possible. This is music as the deconstruction of a sonic palette, as the deconstruction, death, and rebirth of a band. And, Galactic is all the better for it's brave new world direction. Ruckus is a album packed with ass-burning grooves and was produced by Dan The Automator. Ruckus is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on yellow & green marbled coloured vinyl and includes an insert.
