"On Reflection, Time To Kill and His Last Voyage are among my favorite GG songs. Those three songs are all amazing and all very different from one another. Gentle Giant has a way of always surprising you and proposing new ways to do songs. I think "Free Hand" is one of their best albums because it..." [+] Reply

"Her most consistent and fully realised project to date. It's a grey-on-pink, Star Trek sci-fi meets Drag Race camp whirlwind, with a sound completely in love with the early 90s. Gaga arrived blazing into the pop world preaching self love and expression; now, however, she's turned that message on ..." [+] Reply

"i love most things dexys, but this i don't quite get, despite repeated listens, or i don't get why it so frequently is hailed as mr lowlands masterpiece. but i guess it's in the lyrics, me being scandinavian and first of all occupied with music, and the musical part of this one isn't, extracted f..."

"This album takes several listens to appreciate. It makes my top 20 list of 2013." Reply
"What I'm most impressed with on this is that many electronic albums have a repetitive base upon which they build... I never felt that way with this - the dynamics and unique beats/samples, etc. were seemingly so effortlessly mixed together, yet were masterful." Reply

"Definitely an artist I want to throw into rotation more. Absolutely love Rounds so I was excited for more Four Tet albums.

"Very good listen. Synth pop in the same vein as Kraftwerk, but I think I like this more. A few more listens and it may find its way onto my chart." Reply
