"Not a good album. Too long, too much filler instrumental. Actual Brutal Facts is a good track though." Reply
"An absolutely stunning album from electroacoustic pioneer Iannis Xenakis. Incredibly immersive, and once it's got you hypnotised there's absolutely no escape from its spine-chilling sonic landscapes." Reply
"My favorite Orb album because it enhances whatever you're doing while listening to it but doesn't require your attention. I wish I could understand why it's ranked so low within the Orb's catalog" 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
"Bristol's Fuck Buttons combine industrial reverb, ambient piano, church-like organs, guitar drones and electronic noise in a way that is sonically thrilling." Reply
"One of the most promising albums of 2016. It is short (25 mins) and sweet, with synths and reverb layered over stirring vocal performance.

"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
"The Go-Betweens became a four piece, adding bassist Robert Vickers to the band. With McLennan moving to guitar, the band sound much fuller than before, and Forster’s material is more conventional, forgoing jerky new wave in favour of more conventional pop, although his material is still more frac..."

"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
"Progressive rock with a hint of metal. Not a fan of the first track. Loose Heart is an amazing song. I also liked I Believe and Out of Myself." Reply
