"Thanks, Melon! Seriously, as much as we've been discussing on this site whether Fantano is too influential on people's taste, I probably wouldn't have discovered this album without him! It's a beautiful piece of work, evoking artists such as Kate Bush, Joanna Newsom and Stevie Wonder, while at th..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is just fucking amazing. I don't know why this hasn't been getting more attention. It's style is something I'm in love with. It's catchy and pop, but experimental and fresh at the same time. I will loop it for the next couple of days. Favorite songs: Velvet 4 Sale, Poem, Time"  Reply

"It may not be fair, but I have always less appreciated the work of Schulze (who left Tangerine Dream (TD) because of artistic differences with Edgar Froese in 1970) than TD's. As a young boy you may need variety. Possibly it was difficult for me at that time to appreciate the musical and artistic..."  [+]  Reply

"Diamond Jubilee is an epic of longing, sadness and joy. Across its 32 tracks it manages not only to hold such a high quality track for track, but also establishes and sticks to a clear musical identity. Tracks might vary in tone, instrumentation, vocal delivery or even whether there are instrumen..."  [+]  Reply

"I always had trouble with the album falling short of breath quite early on. Until I discovered the actual track sequence Paul Simon had in mind for this (which, when considering the actual sequence on the album as produced is 3-6-4-7-8-1-2-9-5-10). I tried it and only then discovered the masterpi..."  [+]  Reply

"Why are people disappointed with this album? For me it is almost at par with Crime of the Century and above Breakfast in America. In songs like "A sopabox opera", "Another man's woman" or "Just a normal day" Hodgson and Davies keep a dialogue in which their voices shine between the piano, the vio..."  [+]  Reply

"Sting's first, and best, solo record. While I can't imagine The Police performing this material, Sting was still writing very good songs and using this as a platform for his own distinctive sound. His later efforts would be much more MOR, and much less interesting. Best cuts: the bluesy "Consider..."  [+]  Reply
