"Steve Miller Band's debut album from 1968 is quite different from their more familiar sound and style on albums like "Brave New World", "Number 5" and later "The Joker". Half of the album is classic blues-rock style - solid but without very much personal character. The rest of the album is more s..."  [+]  Reply

""I mean democracy without the color line..." I only discovered Josh White this year upon digging into 40s music more. Oh man - his guitar tone is the best and that voice is so warm. I love his diction/execution/timing. Instantly a favorite. Wish I would've found sooner. Well and then I listen to ..."  [+]  Reply

"I love these guys, but unfortunately for me this a small step down from their first two albums. It feels as though there is less spontaneity and energy, though it isn't too detrimental. They definitely have a lot more focus on intricacy and atmosphere, which is always nice. Still highly recommend..."  [+]  Reply

"This album rocks, and that's what there is to say about that. There are two or three dud tracks: Pity You and Love Without Anger in particular don't have the same energy as the rest of the album, but they've still got a little something to them. Race of Doom comes on a little hard to start side 2..."  [+]  Reply

"Due to the style of the songs, this album is never going to be rated a classic. Way too whimsical by half ! Very much of its time. However, having first heard it when I was 10, I have a lot of affection for it. The childlike quality of the songs appealed to me..and still does in a nostalgic way. ..."  [+]  Reply

"Oozing with Mellotron washes, Mellotron flutes and Moog Modular ratcheted sequences, this album follows on where Ricochet left off with a more melodic musical structure. Where Zeit, Rubycon and Phaedra were predominantly sound collages, this album helps the listener more easily form those vast ex..."  [+]  Reply
