"As you would expect of a small youth psychedelic folk collective celebrating Christ, The Trees Community is pretty outside the bounds of traditional Christian hymn and praise music. One of the few albums I would describe as capable of transcendence, The Christ Tree works very well in summoning up..."  [+]  Reply

"I can only imagine how agonising the wait for a new album would've been for Kraftwerk fans (then again, it's been 13 years since "tour de france soundtracks" to the present day), but Kraftwerk certainly met all expectations with this highly energetic album. Filled with both playful and sublime me..."  [+]  Reply

"The first half is the studio album of original material, the second, a live labum of olldies. The first is as good as anything she's done, and stands with From the choirgirl hotel as a high point in her career."  Reply

"Not as good as, Truth, but an enjoyable and raw album. Beck is on fire here but overall the record doesn't have the coherence of it's predecessor. Still a gritty little rock'n'roll album though."  Reply

"It's all about the repetitive drone in each song, alongside dark lyricism. The Black Angels get away with it, and they do it well on Passover. The driving guitar riffs and rhythm; they're the AC/DC of Indie and Psych Rock. They've got a few good albums, but Passover is the best."  Reply

"Calexico is one of those bands, that nobody usually knows about (fully undeservedly). Their music is a fusion of mexican and american folk motives, sometimes with post-rock flavour, songs are imbued with deep melancholy, which erupts through the latin-american dancing rhytmes. Calexico belongs to..."  [+]  Reply

"That great big next step forward that was needed. Starker and more contemplative than her previous releases, which often valued pulsating swagger over lyrical and emotional depth, it's a surprisingly mature album full of perspective and confrontational of it's creator's own faults and fears, it's..."  [+]  Reply

"This is Fates Warning's most accessible album, but don't let that make you think it's either watered down or too mainstream. The group does the ultimate job of creating something musically profound yet listenable. 8 cuts and every on of them is deserving of the highest praise. Not a dog in sight ..."  [+]  Reply
