"Great soundtrack from a great movie. I get goose bumps whenever I think if that story. Fav songs: Sugar Man, Crucify Your Mind, Cause, Can't Get Away, I Think Of You and I'll Slip Away"  Reply

"The first four tracks used to overshadow everything else on here for me, but a couple of them ('Space' and 'Junkie') are probably now among my favourite songs of all time and some of the others are a lot better than I used to give them credit for. Closing track 'Alaskan Pipeline' is probably the ..."  [+]  Reply

"Hey listener! Do you like Sonic Youth, early Dinosaur Jr, and Destroy All Monsters? This is exactly like all of those things in a blender with some lovely warped fidelity."  Reply

"Not sure why they aren‘t massive. Ok, no art rock with a whiny singer. That might explain the position on this site. Instead you get highly energized indie soul (?), very catchy, adictive with some sort of a dirty street vibe. Very enjoyable album."  Reply

"People often make fun of me for having this so high on my list, but make no mistake: This is, by far, the greatest "Radio Disney" album of all time (and, before I got into real music, I listened to a LOT of those :p). I know this sounds like it's not saying much, but this album truly is..."  [+]  Reply

"Nice sound. Pond definitely has a unique, psychedelic sound. The stand outs here for me are, Paint Me Silver and Zen Automation. Some songs could be more memorable but I like how the album flows and it's never dull."  Reply
