"This a criminally underrated album, and an underrated band in general. As a big fan of new wave, this is one of my favorite albums in the genre. Best tracks: Under the Milky Way, Reptile, Destination, Spark"  Reply

"I always feel grateful to hear John Martyns voice. He shares a lot of himself. This album is both deep and playful and somehow manages to comfort my emotions and then rip them apart again. Solid Air is like an old friend. It never fades. Everyone should own this"  Reply

"An absolutely stunning record. Eli, is constantly overlooked and underrated, it is simply one of the greatest albums ever. Fusing pop, jazz, folk, and, soul, Nyro creates something wholly original and continually uplifting. Every song is a mini masterpiece, including, sweet soul picnic, and my fa..."  [+]  Reply

"I had high expectations for this album and it's even better than I hoped. The jamming nature of opening track Rattlesnake sets up the album allowing the listener to adjust to the microtonal sound and from then on it's a lot of fun. Immediately wanted to listen to it again after first listen."  Reply

"They never did anything like this before, nor after. Many say, and I agree to a certain extent, that this was an attempt to match 'Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band' by The Beatles. There may have been some self-inflicted peer pressure to do something psychedelic but I don't see 'Sgt Pepper' as..."  [+]  Reply

""Dig Your Own Hole" is a masterpiece. Why ? The answer in 10 points: 1) This is the best big beat album ever made. We have never heard such a powerful mix of electro-hip-hop-rock. 2) You can dance without stopping on the first 8 tracks. 3) My body temperature rises to 39 ° when I hear the intro o..."  [+]  Reply

The Powers That B 
Compilation
"For a while, The Money Store was Death Grips' best album. But The Powers That B (TPTB) is really contending for that spot. It's a bit of an unfair competition considering the fact that TPTB's two sides give it great variety. One really interesting pointer is that both sides feature someone who ha..."  [+]  Reply
