Silver Apples

"For any fan of psychedelic electronica this record is a must listen. More sophisticated than their self titled debut, they expand and stretch the use of primitive oscillators influencing prog into the next decade and beyond." Reply

Reves / Yosoy

Café Tacvba

"Reves: 9/10 Reves is easily the best instrumental album I have ever heard. Many of the tracks, such as 2 and 3, showcase just how incredible instrumentalists the band is.

The drumming on 2 is powerful and crisp. The guitar playing on 3 is frantic, like a twisted version of the James Bond theme. There are also moments of beauty and tranquility. 8 is one of my favorite tracks, it is a beautiful representation of the dynamic between wind and water. MC and 5.1 are beautiful classical renditions of other songs on the album. 13 is the epic Radiohead-esque climax of the disk. The only issues I have with this disk are 10 (a boring overlong percussion assault on the senses) and 6. YOSOY-9.5/10 I am part Hispanic/Latino, and this disk is the most connected I have ever felt with that side of my heritage. There is a beautiful environmental theme to the album. The lead vocalist describes beautiful rivers, fruit trees, and laments the pain we are causing the world. El Padre through El Espacio is one of the most amazing string of songs I have ever heard on an album. La Locomotora is an incredible initially cello driven song, that builds and builds with incredible guitar work until the orgasmic vocal climax of the song. El Rio/El Pollen together are one of the most beautiful depictions of nature I have ever experienced. The songs after this point are still great, but definately not as strong. Guerro always jumpscares me right after the tranquil El Espacio, but getting to the chorus of the song makes it worth it. Luckily, the calming Sin Titulo gives a much needed reprieve from the previous high energy track. However, this particular song is far to quiet. This album sounds fine on headphones, but on a speaker I always have to crank down Guerro, then crank up Sin Titulo. This is my one major complaint with the album, that the audio mixing could be better. The rest of the album (aside from Esperando, which is a very short and also quiet song), we are exposed to a more playful side of Cafe Tacuba. The first half of the album is very philosophical and meditative, but this side is fun and almost feels like a child experiencing the wonders of the world. Overall I love this album. It is easily my favorite spanish language album, and these guys do Radiohead better than Radiohead can. Some people call this album the Mexican Kid A, but I would like to remind y'all this album was first, and leagues better. " [+] Reply

Sorry (UK)

"Sorry deliver the sleazy ennui soundtrack for the 20-somethings of today; an innovative patchwork of alternative goodness, mixing its sounds and words like a hazy drug-filled evening. Without ever fully giving the game away, Sorry maintain a prosaic mystery in their style, allowing the bands memb..." [+] Reply

Honor Killed The Samurai

It's not only about style, the samurai concept runs through the whole album both in a literal -that's obvious, I guess - and in a figurative - a warrior/artist who needs utmost precision while doing his thing if he wants to survive - way. It's an album I wouldn't easily recommend to someone whose tastes I don't know, because it's not the most accessible ablum. But if you get into it, it's a fantastic experience - and every time it seems even better than the previous, it just keeps growing on you. It's not an album you can just let play in the background and do something else, it requires your full attention and it unquestionably deserves it. The production keeps coming at you with unexpected twist after unexpected twist, so many unique and seemingly random sounds but in the end it all makes sense. And what to say about his rapping. At points it may seem like he lacks in energy, but that's his style and it fits the dark themes of his songs like a glove. The lyrics work both in one/two lines scale (for example the positive/negative antithesis "The harmony dreamin' had me constantly schemin' Rarely peace, and barely a beast, armed like a demon") and in verse/song scale ("Don't place win it, just no snakes in it, play the grass safely And trust every cut is nuts won't let 'em castrate me If happen to make cash, don't let the cash make me Regardless I'm a guarded artist, never graph hasty No fame, but became a favorite 'cause they know I labored That's when heart allow you market value, they overrate it That show is dated, slowly faded, could meet eternal Can battle hard against catalogs with one leafy journal Broke and filthy, innocence safe from cloaked and guilty Every session respectfully reppin', hope the 'ville see My civil aims - to get a little change and be still me Even if max bustin' back to dust, you can't kill sheep I need money"). There is nothing that even remotely resembles a weak track here, if you told me there are 10 equal tracks I would believe you, but if I had to pick a highlight it would probably be Finer Things / Tamahagene (if nothing else, it's the longest, so more time to enjoy!)."

Amarok

Mike Oldfield

"The story goes that Mike Oldfield had to commit to one more album with Virgin Records and they'd been on at him to produce something a little more radio friendly. Ever the contrarian, Mike came up with Amarok. One, hour-long track, split up into little nuggets of weirdness. There's barely a movem..." [+] Reply
