"Criminally underrated; there is a constant upbeat roar throughout but not with monotony. Songs like 'Can't Stand Your Funk' are reminiscent of modern funk/fusion artists. One of Mahavishnu's more consistent albums, if not the most consistent of them all."  Reply

"Rock reinvented. Great guitar-only prog rock album. Minion's song, planet of insects and interstellar are the top tracks. The latter provided the highlight of my gig-going last year (2011)"  Reply

"There is an auteur spirit to “The Gods We Can Touch”. Aurora frames the album with explorations of femininity and tributes to pagan deities. Her fae voice compliments the vision quite well giving a bit of magic to every line. The concept's limitation is its volume. The project never leaves a midd..."  [+]  Reply

"Roky Erickson is on four of the eleven tracks, Tommy Hall is on one. It's like the Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger or Keith Richards. There are people who say this is their favorite Elevators album. There are people who will say anything."  Reply

"Taking cues from the Durruti Column and Wire, Temple IV see's Montgomery's guitar-only instrumentals evoke the mystery and beauty of South America to sublime effect. Like Flying Saucer Attack Roy Montgomery was one of the very first post-rock artists."  Reply

"Roisin Murphy is definitely one of the most interesting "pop" stars out there. Her music is catchy, strange and at times trippy AF. With each release she gets more creative and out there."  Reply

"I may need to give this more time, but right now, it's a bit underwhelming. And look, following up Psychic--an album whose greatness has only become clearer with time--was always going to be a daunting, if not insurmountable task. But setting aside how it stacks up to its predecessor, Spiral is a..."  [+]  Reply

"There are some good raps and good beats on here, with some interesting samples including portishead and genesis ("firth of fifth"). Ultimately, schoolboy needs more focus and hooks, especially in the back half of the album. As a result of the eclectic samples and lack of focus, this album often f..."  [+]  Reply
