The House Jacks' album "Unbroken" is studio craft reminiscent of the glory days of XTC and The Beatles: each song melts into the other, creating not just a collection of songs, but a sonic voyage with ten enticing destinations. Your guide: the original five-man vanguard of a cappella rock. |  | Funkwich [1997]
Three years in the making, this twelve-song monstrosity takes a cappella funk to a new level. From the NutraSweet grooves of "The Way It Makes Me Feel" and "Express Yourself" to the finely-hued textures of "Crazy Maze" and "Saturnalia Smile", this is one big messy twelve-song Specialty's Sandwich of the Funk. Special bonus tracks: "The Star-Spangled Banner" and the one and only "Kashmir." |  | Naked Noise [1994]
Their first album, now considered an a cappella classic. Ten original songs by the original artists -- the Jacks. The San Francisco Chronicle called it "perfect a cappella harmony... current as tomorrow's news." The Oakland Tribune said, "They make mincemeat of the traditional limits of the human voice... a winning self-released CD." Songwriter's Monthly exclaimed, "You've got to hear it to believe it!" |
