Product Description Explosive shows, filled with an arsenal of well-crafted material, have earned Moksha their reputation as Las Vegas' secret weapon. They are emerging from the glitz and glamour of Sin City and garnering a following of loyal fans on the West Coast. Swirling in subtlety, their music paints a sonic landscape that unfolds in the moment and feeds on the dynamic ebb and flow of audience and band interconnection. Review Moksha's "Mammal or Machine" is an adventurous hour long journey through the rock, blues, and electronic music genres. Fusing guitar and keys into longer, layered compositions has resulted in an album that easily ventures from genre to genre, even within moments of a particular song. There is an old spirit at play in many of these songs, as the organ of "God's Country" summons us for the Revival. This sort of throwback spirit contrasts nicely with the more modern styling of "Open the Door" and tracks in that vein. The album is ambitious in scope and succeeds because of its nifty arrangements and excellent execution. Moksha, currently based out of Las Vegas, Nevada, features the talents of John Heishman on bass and vocals, Patrick Gray on drums and percussion, Brian Triola on keys, organs and vocal, and Jeremy Parks on guitar and lap steel. A large assembly of notable artists appear on certain tracks on this album, with DJ Logic being one of the more notable contributers. The album features 11 layered, lush jams that range from ambient "chill lounge" tracks to feverish bluegrass romps. The resulting combinations are deftly executed and charming. -- J. Evan Wade - Homegrown Music NetworkMammal or Machine is an album which is far from being the first effort by some local band. Rather, Moksha has put forth a sound that is both mature and professional, emerging like Athena, fully formed, from the forehead of Zeus. Indeed, on the whole this album holds its own among the ranks of first albums by now legendary artists. In fact, after having heard only the first few tracks, the sound was so astonishingly ballsy, bold, and new that I was pone to compare it to Led Zeppelin's first album - admittedly a musical sacrilege if ever there was one. But this album is not only worthy, it is truly a masterpiece. Just as the lyrics of Interface are laced with literary and cultural references through which they weave a startling braid of concepts of man, machine, and divinity, so is the music on this entire album laced with musical genres and allusions, weaving its own startling braid of jazz, funk, rock, hip-hop and more, truly offering a path of liberation and musical transcendence for the listener. Let go, and be liberated through Moksha's Mammal or Machine. -- Jay Brice - KUNV - Las Vegas From the Artist Moksha joined forces with guitar legend Brian Stoltz (Neville Brothers, Funky Meters, Bob Dylan and others) in studio to record their first full album. Moksha's modern sound combined with Stoltz's New Orleans flavor created a sound that can only be described as unstoppable.
