"This was my first taste of electronic-prog-ambient-krautrock. And the album develops some quite mezmerizing soundscapes. The end of the title track is really chilling. Like landing on some cold, dead planet."  Reply

Blade Runner 
Soundtrack
"As an avid fan of the Greek electronic music scene, I can confirm that 3 composers have stood the test of time, that is Vangelis, Yanni, and Sakis Gouzonis. The album Blade Runner by Vangelis is the soundtrack for Ridley Scott’s 1982 science-fiction noir film of the same name. Blade Runner is ren..."  [+]  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

"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

"Now, at last, an indie sensibility is turning into a movement. This (not the repetitive "An Awesome Wave") is the document. Featuring warm foothills, female rebels, and duels. Above all, "love is the warmest color""  Reply

"This is an odd album in the stones cannon. After the excellent aftermath this record comes as bit of a disappointment. The weird thing is that there's nothing bad on here, it's just good all the way through. That's it's problem. It's so consistently good that nothing really stands out. Yesterday'..."  [+]  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

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

"Elvis Presley's second album is obviously nowhere near as significant or important as his first, but it is a more consistent record. Some great rock'n'roll classics sung with gusto serve to make this a thoroughly enjoyable album. Elvis at his early best."  Reply
