Gotcha! Gotcha! Gotcha!

Back in the early 90s, I remember the teenager in me being amazed to find out that Urban Dance Squad, a band that sounded so American, was actually Dutch! Now I see they weren't the only Dutch band creatively competing with the big names of the era. It took me 30 years to discover Gotcha! and now tbh they sound a bit dated, but damn! they are pretty good. Shame our paths didn't cross back then, and thanks for proposing

When it comes to Dutch funk, I prefer aged Gouda.

What kind of music do you wanna play? - Metal! - Jazz! - Funk! - Guitar Pop-Rock! OK, fine let's do them all!

An interesting add certainly, although maybe a hair too long for my liking.

Really catchy! Never heard of this band before, but I really dug it.

Very funky indeed. A nice Dutch discovery. Had never heard from this band

Even after listening I have approximately no clue how to mix Dutch and the funky. Gotcha! feels the same way, and their choice to avoid certain forms of juxtaposition is probably wise.

Yes, they are from my home-country, and yes, they do have some catchy and funky tunes. But they were never really my thing back in the day. It is a pretty enjoyable album though, I must say.

Funkgods from my home country. Although this was not my kinda music back in the day, now I can really appreciate this and hear how good and tight it is. Well done!

This was pretty good, but there is a distinct danger in wearing your influences so much on your sleeve - when those influences are absolute titans in the genre. Also not sure the hip-hop elements really added much.

Nice sound. Good record. Could have been on the list easily

It's pretty good when it sounds like older funk/R&B, not so much when it veers into Red Hot Chili Peppers territory. Overall it's just okay for me. 3 stars.

Ok that was kinda cool for a few minutes. Album was way too long, it lost me after about 20min. But I didn't mind it up to that point. Off-brand Bungle, I guess. 3/5.

It's good to hear a Dutch group here. Their brand of P-Funk inspired funk/metal/rock does come off a bit cheesy at times. George Clinton's influence on this record is so apparent that it often sounds like they are imitating him. It's not bad by any means, but I'm just not sure what this is adding to the genre seeing as it came out in 1993.

In 1993 a couple of Dutch guys heard a Red Hot Chili Peppers album and said, "This is the absolute pinnacle of man's artistic achievement. We must dedicate our lives in the pursuit of emulating this pure ecstasy. The angel Gabriel has spoken and it sounds like he's from Southern California"

enjoyable P-Funkery with restrained heavy guitars and pushing on the mellower soul vibes a little more.

This was a fun rollercoaster of a ride with a mix of styles that kept providing moments of delight throughout. I heard influences of rock, Barry White, George Clinton and lots of other stuff in this interesting mélange.

I dig the funk!! A surprising mix of styles, for sure.

Dutch funk, huh? Honestly sounds like all the radio stations decided to brawl it out and came up with this. Sounds like aliens interpreting human music. I like it. Has notes of Fishbone, P-Funk (I mean, obviously), and maybe some jam-heavy tendencies that would fit in with Phish? I think there's some fat to be trimmed, but it did leave me with a goofy smile on my face throughout. It sounds earnest and like the weirdest house party you'd ever attend. Favorite tracks: "Bonesong", "Love O' My Life"

I listened to a 2009 album called "Gotcha! Gotcha!" by the band Gotcha!. Apparently there's a 1993 album called "Gotcha! Gotcha! Gotcha!". Which one is it?

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: Heroine

I was told these dealers choice albums were a mixed bag. But some of you are not taking this seriously. And I'm all here for it. Love random shit I've never even heard of before.

Funk rock, psychedelic funk, hard rock. Ni fu ni fa.

Allt í lagi dót.

Before I talk about this album I wanted to mention that I’m dumb for being so glib on Siamese dream way back when I got it. I’m listening to mayonaise and idk how I could’ve ever not loved it. I said today was overrated but man now that it’s almost fall it’s great. This was good but not great. Definitely interesting mix of funk and hip hop but obviously not American. Higher was my fav.

This was really quite enjoyable. A template for a less irritating RHCP, with more metal bite and more Rakim/Chuck D style rapping. Great fun!

It is entirely way too long. It definitely has that 90s sound. The only surprising thing is the group is Dutch and not American. I have no desire to revisit.

interesting and different. not a great listen though 2.4

Ok

Hmmm

Overlong, crass, and dated – couldn’t really stand this one from the get-go and it only got worse from there. There was a certain sense of pique born from the early grunge movement that mutated into an almost childish immaturity by the early 2000s, and this LP represents the worst of those impulses with its pointlessly vulgar lyricism and forgettable instrumentals.
