"Musically 'smoother' and more refined, but equally as experimental and original as their debut 'Silver Apples Of The Moon', Laika create a form of "organic" electronica that is, for example, more authentic sounding than the music produced by one of their contemporaries, the overrated Moby.

Kaleidoscope World 
Compilation
"I actually own the original 8 track 12” release of ‘Kaleidoscope World’ on vinyl and it remained one of my all time favourites for a very long time. It wasn’t until much later on I discovered it was actually a compilation of early of EP’s and singles There’s actually 3 different versions of ‘Kale..."  [+]  Reply

"I like this album quite a bit. it's certainly not very standard for the Decemberists. In fact, if you told me that this was an unearthed Colin Meloy synth-pop project from 1985 I wouldn't be all that surprised. "Once In My Life" in fact reminds me of Talk Talk's 1984 hit "It's My Life" (partly be..."  [+]  Reply

"This is undoubtedely their finest work to date. "Moonshine" at nearly 7 minutes long is glorious! "Love Pollution" and the single "Just The Way I'm Feeling" are also great"  Reply

It feels like they were going for a more hardcore sound than their previous records which makes sense being released in 94. Some of the tracks I find skippable. That being said, Mass Appeal, Blowi..."  [+]  Reply
