"Mingus's own personal favourite of all of his albums and not hard to see why. Constructing "buildings of jazz" it seems in deferrence to the primitism of much of the jazz fusion wave that was around at the time. The architects have hit the spot and the view from the top floor is impressive. Shame..." [+] Reply

"Spoon practically always delivers. There are some really thoughtful tracks here. I love the shout out to Austin Texas singer-songwriter Dale Watson in the title track. Recommended. Condensed to a 7" Single: A-Side: The Hardest Cut B-Side: The Devil & Mister Jones" Reply

"I met Suzanne briefly when she came to play at Kent State. I was friends with her brother Tim. It was pretty exciting, even though there were radio transmissions coming through her equipment that she complained bitterly about. I would have forgotten all about this album without that experience. E..." [+] Reply

"I'm a pianist, and this is my favorite piano music of all time. Really tough to play stuff. Holding all of the counterpoint in your head is difficult stuff." Reply

"What a beautiful time to be 15 and still wonderful to hear this album again. Maybe we all still underrate it. Yes, The Smtihs captured the feelings of more teenagers, but they never reached this beauty, clear like a scottish stream. "We could send letters" may contain the most beautiful words fro..."

"One the very first bands to herald the shoegazing revival (now in it's 8th year). Lesser Matters is a brilliant album chock full of indie-pop gems." Reply

"This was the first Parsons Album I listened to. The Intro Song (Sirius/Eye in the Sky) is Just hypnotic. Other Key Tracks are 'Silence and I' and 'Wise and old'. The only problem I have with this album is, that it has too much pop. (Children of the Moon, Fingers Burned, psychobabble, Step by step..." [+] 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

"This is certainly a better "album" for Coldplay, inasmuch as it works a relatively cohesive collection of songs that are meant to work with each other. Granted, this is not perfect by any stretch. Chris Martin is still one of the least impressive lyricists, but even the stripped back instrumental..." [+] Reply
