By the end of the year this could well prove to be one of the strongest
artist albums from 2007. The reason is quite simple, its full of great songs
and captivating sonic landscapes which flit between classy influences from
the past four decades. Even when it is being instrumental, such as the
Rhodes and acoustic guitar combo on ‘Mon Am’ its stunning. The drumming is sometimes funky as is the music but then sometimes it all feels more like
something psychedelic from the 60’s. Whatever ‘Speeka’ claims to be it sits
somewhere between playful and deep but never fails but to light up the room,
at any time. Bonfire.
