"A collection of uniformly brilliant Kraftwerk songs. In fact, this album sounds so brilliant that it doesn't even sound live. A timeless compilation from a truly timeless band - even their "Electric Cafe" stuff sounds excellent here. If you're a Kraftwerk fan, or a general electronic fan, do not ..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the most creative (but widely unknown) figures of the late 1960s was Tom Rapp, who in 1968 was the leading figure behind the masterpiece 'Balaklava' - a concept album inspired by the anti-militarist struggle of the same name. The running theme of the album is of apocalyptic death and desol..."  [+]  Reply

"Another great (actually, "great" might be an understatement) rapper who takes a slight turn to appeal to the masses, without compromising that much -if any- in terms of quality. Especially in this album you can guess how ambitious it is just by checking the credits. This includes both the product..."  [+]  Reply

"I've listened to this album more than any other since its release in 2013. It's a criminally underrated record, though I understand that not all listeners will identify with it as much as I do. It's the only record I've ever heard that attempts to capture--and does so brilliantly--what it was lik..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is almost entirely folk music with a little bit of rock thrown in and it’s very good. Lyrically it is well written, the songs are enjoyable and, aside from one or two slow parts, the album is very solid."  Reply

"Exuberant and playful female-led rock music. Not exactly post-punk, or new wave, (though there are some new wave synths), has more in common with mid to late 80's jangle-twee indie. Lots of great songs, though the abrasive guitars and high-pitched vocals get a bit tiresome. 'Too Big For Your Boot..."  [+]  Reply
