BABE RUTH Que Pasa (2009 UK 14-track CD album - Since its inception in 1971, the Babe Ruth sound has evolved and moved with the times, influencing other genres of music and even the art of breakdancing itself - yet their music has still remainedin touch with its core influences and original roots. With their latest studio album, the listener is immediately catapulted into the band's classic wall of sound, brought bang up to date for the 21st century. 'Que Pasa' is a landmark album for more than one reason. Firstly, it marks the first time since 1976 where the classic lineup [Jenny Haan, Alan Shacklock, David Hewitt, Ed Spevock and Dave Punshon] has reformed to record brand new material. Secondly, the album also carries with it the distinction of being the first album to contain a faithful re-recording of their most celebrated [and most covered] single, 'The Mexican'. From the album's initial explosion, the band effortlessly move from the opening track '4 Dear Life' into the title track. From there, the album moves onto 'The Sun, Moon & Stars' followed by 'Mother Tongue', driving through to the Hip-Hop-inspired 'Doncha Wanna Dance'. After a reiteration of their classic Prog Rock sound in 'Break for the Border', the Latin themes are reprised for the deceptively soft 'Killer Smile'. Finally, 'The Mexican Millennium', with the classic Ennio Morricone-inspired theme interpolating through it, brings the album home and finishes the story begun with the opening track!)
