"I've never understood why this album is so unpopular. After Made in Japan it's the one I listen to the most. The moments of poppy psychedelia in Mary Long, Woman from Tokyo and our Lady give a glimpse of where Deep Purple might have headed had Gillan & Glover not left. Also, it's a shame that Pai..."  [+]  Reply

"Often referred to as a "coldwave" band because their lead singer and guitarist, Philippe Planchon, sounded like he was about to fall asleep on many of their recordings, this French group actually had some really good songs and a cool (not necessarily "cold") post-punk/wave sound. And to be fair, ..."  [+]  Reply

"Engaging folk/punk outfit fronted by the charismatic Wil Wagner. Hunt 'birthdays' down for a good taste on you tube. Meanwhile I look forward to catching them live."  Reply

"Tracy thorn's voice was never more beautiful. Every deftly written lyric coupled with her voice begs you to listen and react. One of those albums that should have been huge, but the world is too shallow to take it. "Your pockets are lined with promises, when did promises ever pay for shoes.""  Reply

"While I prefer the more glossy, reverb-coated production on We Don't Need To Whisper, this record is a worthy successor of AVA's sparkling debut record. There isn't a "The Adventure" on this record, but I-Empire has some of the better songwriting moments of Tom DeLonge's career. Every subsequent ..."  [+]  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

"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
