    The highlight this time around is New Zealand's Parachute Band which released a live album (adore) with a much fresher, funkier sound. Hitting similar funk sounds to groups like Phatfish and Beehive, the album's not as much fun as the live event sounds to have been, but there's plenty of energy and the talent is obvious. The lyrics are largely "shouts of acclamation" and it would have been nice to hear a little more variation and care in this respect, but this is the best of the batch.
