"I wonder if Canada really realizes the goldmine they have in bassist Chris Bottomley? This talented multi-instrumentalist has just released a double cd called Cerebral Lubrication which is mind-blowing and rhythmic. The emphasis on Cerebral Lubrication is live jam improvisation with eclectic mixtures of Electronica, Reggae, Fusion, Afro/World music, and plenty of good Funk music.
At first, Cerebral Lubrication was a lot to digest due to the fact that there is so much great music happening, that it took me a while to complete the cd because I kept replaying songs that moved me, like the Afro/World inspired "Brazilian Thunder Throb", and the Reggae tracks "Let's Get Together" and "Belize City Bakin'" are personal favorites. The true essence of Chris Bottomley musicianship and improvisational skills come through on the live recordings ("Chillin'", "Slinky Dub" and "Oh Hey Yeh") from the Bamboo Club.
Cerebral Lubrication is one of the hottest releases by far for 2005. It's funky, with top notch production, and just simply outstanding. Great Job!"

"Rhythmic, electrical, modern jazz perfectly fusioned with sounds of Afro, Funk, Fusion, Reggae and World Music. You feel like a time traveler on a trip to the new dimensions of modern jazz. Chris Bottomley blows up your mind with his Cerebral Lubrication!"
Carl Flisch - RadioCrazy Multi-Channel Internet Radio Service



"To say that Chris Bottomley is inventive is kind of like saying the Titanic had buoyancy issues. Endlessly excellent musical style with some of the loopiest song names since Frank Zappa combine for a truly interesting individual. In fact, I'd go so far as to say there's very few in the business today more qualified to step into Zappa's musical loafers."
Clay Evans - Radio Nosferatu

    Here's a hint, musician types. If you want to get into my good books, don't send me a CD of sprawling instrumental fusion jams. Send me a double CD of sprawling instrumental fusion jams!You may think it's too jazzy for you, but if you've ever sat in the dark listening to Pierre Moerlens Gong or possibly even Mickey Harts less irritating releases, then you're going to feel very happy here. Among the many (many) highlights are the djembe driven 'African Head Dub', the lament 'My Heart Beating' and my particular favourite, 'Trouble Makin' Freakazoid'. This set is a pure trip, in the best sense of the word, and something you really ought to experience. An epic, vital and enthralling 2CD set!

    Chris Bottomley is an exceptional artist and he is a plus on our radio playlist. We love his music a lot.

  • author: CONSTANTIN SIEG - RADIO UNERHORT, MARBURG, GERMANY

    Very good!

    Definitely need crystal ball to figure who does what on any particular track! Nice funk-groove going on and the creative artwork and even more creative song titles are just brilliant - Random Splatter Effect perfectly describes my less than perfect welding technique! As to lubricating the old grey matter - that it does

    This is a terrific release by a truly outstanding musician. Top notch musicianship and writing. Outstanding!

    Comments: The new urban African heart-beat. Genuine and inspired road music, much better, superhighway music taking us directly inside the '70s, and you can choose the Jamaican or the Brazilian exit. Great album.

    What a great double CD. I'm in doubt if I'll leave it at the station or I'll need it at home for those hard and hot summer nights with all of my neighbours listening to this brilliant mixture of rhythms. There'll be no one song from this CD on our Hit List, because ALL of the songs must be played on a daily basis.

  • A superb blend of funk-jazz-reggae that makes you move !!!
    author: Claude Lapouble

    A must have in your CD collection if you love groovy funky jazz and some other rhythms to bring joy in you and around you. Very good musical arrangments and quality recording too. That is true, it lubricates the brain !!! Thanks Chris and your group !!!

  • It's good trippy music!
    author: NOW MAGAZINE

    Bottomley is a bass player and percussionist with a three pronged fixation on jazz, funk and dub. This two-CD album is a sprawling, spacey collection of jams - some refreshingly alien sounding. It's good trippy music!
