Curiosity made me pick this one up used.  Your assessment is pretty close
to mine.  Not much harp though, and what's there is Dylan-like to me. They
seem to draw from older blues styles and newer hip-hop rhythms, which *is*
an interesting twist from acid jazz.   Their lyrics appear to reflect this
interest in ~the old time~, esp. in ~Blues Music~, which actually sounds
like a cop of some ~Velvet Underground~ to me  -- not quite so old time
;-) They're not great musicians, but they generate a good feel, esp. for
not sampling.  Some may call them poseurs. Hip hoppers aren't very
interested. I haven't seen, but have received feedback from 20-something
net-folk that indicates they do have an interesting show.  However, they
are not a band you see for harp.
