Way Out West in Bloomington, MN

Although
Way Out West
began their career in straight-ahead
house
, the duo works through many different forms on their album debut.
"Domination"
ascends into airy
drum'n'bass
territory after a mainstream intro, while tracks like
"King of the Funk"
and
"Drive By"
get more than a little aggressive, in contrast to the easygoing
funk
of
"Questions Never Answered."
Altogether,
is a varied, engaging debut. ~ John Bush
