"Another excellent Frank Sinatra album. Strangers in the night, off course includes the hit single title track, but there is plenty of other great material. There is the lovely, summer wind, a superb version of, all or nothing at all, and an odd take on, downtown. I don't know if Frank doesn't lik..."  [+]  Reply

"This is the album that introduced me to Alanis properly. I knew her hits before but they were unlike most of what I discovered on this album, and is a surprise to everyone else I have shown as well. This album is the perfect balance between the electronic and the organic in production, and wonder..."  [+]  Reply

"One of their best records. The first side is excellent, the second side okay. Still, it's great British seventies bluesy rock with Paul Rodgers on great vocal form. Live for the music, simple man and the title track are the highlights."  Reply

"Hobosapiens is a triumph, an amazing album that any fan of Cale or of experimental music should own. The first four tracks and the last four tracks are all brilliant, but my favourites are “Over Her Head” and “Things”. Also, I love the nice little message hidden in the small print. Not all artist..."  [+]  Reply

"Here you can listen to the raw hard rock Extremoduro, though the track "So Payaso" is a little more complex, indicating the direction the band was going towards. If you delete a few tracks, the album is enjoyable enough to listen, though litte noteworthy (unlike their later albums)."  Reply

"Quite a patchy affair, this is James Taylor having a bit of jam with his pals who just happen to be excellent session musicians. This is why he still created the wonderful Hymn, the oft covered Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight and possibly my favourite here, the hidden gem that is New Tune, it coul..."  [+]  Reply

"simmers quite beautifully, but ultimately fails to make much of an impact because of how restrained the majority of the record is. although "transit" (one of the best tracks here) shakes things up a bit with vocals and more aggressive glitch (see also: "the stone of impermanence"), it doesn't rea..."  [+]  Reply
