Web Web – Kover Kover [Compost Records]

Ten years in the game, the latest from Web Web is their first without any original compositions. “Kover Kover” reimagines an array of classic rock and Pop compositions and the results are quite impressive. The Grace Jones classic “Slave To The Rhythm” is evidence of that. Tony Lakatos’s Soprano dances on top of the spirited rhythm section. Drummer Peter Gall along with bassist Christian Von Kaphengst’s funky upright bass lays down a wicked groove that gets a hold on you. The group captures the psychedelic essence of Jimi Hendrix’s “Burning Of The Midnight Lamp”. They transform it into a low fi fusion gem. Joe Jackson’s “Stepping Out” is awashed in meditative blissful soundscapes. Web Web has taken a collection of standout tunes and placed their personal stamp on them. The results are truly marvelous. The unwritten rule is when you cover a tune, it should be as good or even better than the original. Mission accomplished.
