"A fantastic album that cleverly mixes a number of genres - to come up with something I like to call 'Alternative Country Folk'. Favourite Track is 'Borderline'"  Reply

"Tour-de-force performances by (so I say) the best jazz band in the world at the time recorded beautifully, every instrument from bass to ride cymbal perfectly clear and present, so often not the case in live jazz, or studio recordings for that matter. Even the introduction by the legendary Pee We..."  [+]  Reply

"Girl Band are the sort of band for which the term “reinvention of the guitar” seems to have been born for. There is some serious guitar-abuse that harks back to the more out-there noise-outs of Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine in extremis and then some. I can’t make out a word Dara is singing ..."  [+]  Reply

"One of my earliest vinyl’s I bought where the acoustic guitar and lyrics make this his best album. Whenever I go through my record collection, I have to stop for a moment and think about how compassionate and soothing his music is to listen to. If you're mellow at heart, then this is one album yo..."  [+]  Reply

"A good album, not as quite as good as, architecture and morality, but is almost worth the price alone for the absolutely glorious, enola gay, one of the best singles of the early eighties. The rest of the record is fine, but, enola, is the crowning glory."  Reply

"There are some of the best songs the Beach Boys ever laid to tape here, "Do it Again", "Time to Get Alone", "Be With Me" and of course the material sourced from Smile, but as an album, 20/20 is a little inconsistent and jarring for my tastes. Smiley Smile, Holland, Friends etc. stick to a distinc..."  [+]  Reply
