"A lot of confusion over this album. From interviews with David Gilmour and Nick Mason, Division Bell was supposed to be a double album. The disc that got realeased and then a second disc of abstract instrumentals. Sort of in the vain of Ummagumma. Anyway, they ran out of time to finish as the alb..." [+] Reply

"A band that seems to be too easily and too often dismissed, I think. Change is formulaic, you might charge, but it is still beautifully executed. Holy Man is a super rocker. No Rain is a modern rock radio staple and deservedly so. But the clincher here is Tones of Home, a melodic rant against mis..." [+] Reply

"A heartfelt, passionate album. The songs here each carry serious emotional weight propelled by solid musicianship. There's at least a little something on this record that anyone can relate to" Reply

"This album is just impressive. First of all, it’s sixteen tracks long, which is certainly ambitious for a folk album, and, perhaps even more ambitious for a folk album, it’s somewhat of a concept album. It’s not a concept album in that there’s some kind of running theme throughout the album, or s..." [+] Reply

"To be honest I truly thought she would go even further into the classical sound and that's the only non-positive thing I will say about this album. When she released Motomami I thought to myself wow how is she gonna top that? She'll have to divert to a totally different direction and still delive..." [+] Reply

"an interesting transition period between Aphex Twin's early laidback ambient techno and the harsher IDM present later on in his career. could very well be his greatest work for people looking to balance the best of both worlds, but similarly to Autechre's "Chiastic Slide", I find his work directl..."

"Équinoxe (English: "equinox") was the second major-label album release by French musician Jean Michel Jarre, released on Disques Dreyfus (with license to Polydor) in late 1978. The album reflects a day in the life of a human being, from morning to night. Parts 1 to 4 (i.e. side A) and tracks 5 to..." [+] Reply

"Their debut is actually quite good. Somewhat flawed, but fantastic highlights like "Dream On", "Movin' On", "Mama Kin. Derivative of the Stones and Zeppelin, but hey, they pretty much found their sound with the next album anyway so might as well start off with a good sound. Essential listening fo..." [+] Reply

"A very minimalist album that does shine in places but also struggles to maintain my attention for the full run time. It has moments where it is really psychedelic and you end up getting lost in these crazy beats and rhythms which is exactly what the artist wants you to do. This is really helped b..." [+] Reply
