"I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but I do admit when you look at the consider all things, this is an enjoyable one. His voice is so expressive and the melodies so soulfulness. If this isn't the blues, then I don't know what is. I can understand how this genre as influence other styles like jazz and rock..." [+] Reply
"those chainsaws, the eccentricity, that manic production! M.I.A's third LP "Maya" is a slice of brilliant avant-pop/hip-hop/punk that'll certainly be remembered as the weirdest and most polarising piece of art from one of the most controversial sonic geniuses of our generation. A sorely underappr..." [+] Reply
"It's telling when one of Kraftwerk's worst albums is still really good. This one in particular may lack any revolutionary streak that "Autobahn" had or the sublime melodies found in "The Man-Machine", but by subtly enveloping the listener in a melancholic atmosphere, "Electric Cafe" manages to cr..."

"This is a very unique album. The musicianship is superb and the styles weave between rock, jazz, prog and the downright bizarre. I think this is the best of the Radio Gnome trilogy. 'You' is strong, but this is the most intersting listen imo. If I can, I want to get this and Flying Teapot on viny..." [+] Reply
"This is an intriguing and unique listen with a fresh concept I have never heard before. They attempt to craft a musical recreation of the four elements and for the most part it works very well. It creates strong images and ideas in the listeners head and the way they use tempo to create the eleme..." [+] Reply

"Fantastic retro album that really captures that pre psychedelic sixties sound. The sounds of Dusty Springfield and Lulu are all over the record. As a deliberate attempt to make a sixties drenched album, it works brilliantly. Pity she couldn't follow it up." Reply

"One of my favorite artists and some good rock 'n' roll. He has this ability to rock one moment and the next belt out sensitive ballads. A superb album to listen too, although in my favorite studio album collection is Stranger In Town." Reply
"Lovely background music. I really don't know how much credit to give to these electronica DJs. I have a friend who is working on his Phd in music. He writes brilliant symphonies, is a master of piano, guitar and plays other instruments. Seems to me to require a lot more talent than sampling recor..." [+] Reply

"The album was recorded in a church. When you listen armed with the knowledge it seems patently obvious, especially the monumental Nothing but Heart; my favourite guitar track this century. The Great Distroyer is still my favourite Low album, it's on my chart. This one will be if I ever get to bei..." [+] Reply
