"This is the concert that launched the big band era. After it popularized jazz, traditional "white" American music became increasingly blended with African American music with every passing decade. But it wasn't just an important event, it was also a breathtaking concert. With Benny Goodman's (mos..."  [+]  Reply

"Normally I prefer studio versions, but some of the songs here (e.g. Sultans of Swing and Telegraph Road) are so great that I never play the studio versions anymore. Mark Knopfler at his best!"  Reply

"This album is incredibly interesting to listen to. You have to be impressed by the sheer scope of it. I mean, These New Puritans use just about every instrument you can imagine, this album is almost like a minimalistic symphony of sorts. TNP keep kind of reinventing themselves over each album.

"Criminally underrated. This album not only has more lyrical wit then her later efforts, but there is also this beautiful theme of having these pop tracks chaotically fall apart. Later albums have an element of chaos but it is more hand-picked instrumentation that is either hit or miss, rather tha..."  [+]  Reply

"I think this is my favourite Kozelek album. It's not perfect ('He Always Felt Like Dancing' is a little irritating, and the relentless click-track percussion of that song is sort of jarring when set against the rest of the album, but the way the melody slowly unfolds and reveals itself at the sam..."  [+]  Reply

"This is the sunniest collection from a master, and this album is also notable for the restraint he exercises here - no song is longer than four minutes. I love the opening of "Starting a New Life"...."when I hear that robin sing, well, I know it's coming on spring..." Later in the album he sings ..."  [+]  Reply

"I really enjoy this album. They were finally able to mix that psychedelic 60's low-fi with some pop flavor to make it accessible. I'm calling that this album will be huge later on . . ."  Reply
