"A very pleasant glitchy experience. I understand the concern about the length of the tracks, but it's a record with ambient overtones that you luxuriate in really. similarly to a brian eno record that goes on for quite a long time with little variation, one just has to let "loop-finding-jazz-reco..."  [+]  Reply

"Cohen is about to turn 80, and I can only say Wow, how can he still be able to write, compose and perform so nice songs at this age. I mean, of course his albums from his 60-70's are probably better, but you can listen to this and just relax while you enjoy the music and his broken voice."  Reply

"With Frampton Comes Alive, one of the best live album you can find. Paul took some songs, like Venus and Mars/Rock Show, Maybe I'm Amazed, and gave them new life here. Long and Winding Road is so good on here. Actually all the songs he does from the Venus and Mars album, sound so much better on t..."  [+]  Reply

"MetaL MetaL has such a cool sound. The guitar and saxophone play off of each other very well and the lead singer's voice is gorgeous. My favourite track would have to be Oya."  Reply

"I've heard this album described as "The kind of music Prince would have made if he was an introvert." Honestly I can't think of a better description. This album draws heavily from 80's and early 90's R&B, hip-hop, and pop, along with some other surprises, in order to create a beautiful sonic back..."  [+]  Reply
