Sound

While the remainder of this writeup refers to "Sound", a current Filipino band, a number of the songs present in the charts are by "The Sound", a 1970s-80s English band. Something new, yet distinctly familiar. The name connotes an open mind, sophistication, and ambition. An endless list of influences range from the Beatles to Corduroy, Jamiroquai to Stevie Wonder, from Steely Dan to Jazzanova, whose colors find their way into the sonic palette. Guided by a cool head for business, the work is as fevered and passionate as a band enjoying full creative control: practical, but radical.
