"(I am far faaaar from a fan or connoisseur of Hip Hop and especially not UK Hip Hop, but I really really enjoyed this brisk album.) I have to say I loved the production here and I thought it was consistently vibrant and there was always something cool happening to keep my ears engaged. The rappin..."  [+]  Reply

"there are some solid tracks in here - recommend giving it multiple listens before just passing it off as recycled dad rock. Pete has always been a talented songwriter and his bag of "tricks" gets used heavily here - but not in a bad way. There are some ear worm songs with good hooks. At times you..."  [+]  Reply

"Pylon (2015) definitely is as powerful in sound as it is in lyrical vision. Killing Joke shows no sign of slowing down or getting old.

"Despite being comprised of songs that were left off of Porcupine Tree's 'Stupid Dream' and 'Lightbulb Sun', 'Recordings' is constructed just as well as either of the two, is more interesting, and has just as good a production value. Here the band well and truly establish their own unique brand of..."  [+]  Reply

"Listening to the complete electroacoustic work of Iannis Xenakis three times in its entirety has been a long journey through the cold, dark and threatening wasteland of hellish sonic regions, where all hope of encountering life is vain. The most impressive pieces are certainly Bohor, La légende d..."  [+]  Reply

"I've been to a bunch of P-Funk shows and I've been listening to their albums and studying the album covers for many, many years. This is my favorite P-Funk album. Come for the Sly Stone cameo, stay for the funk that just keeps cooking, start to finish. "Hey mon, I'd just rather go dancing than to..."  [+]  Reply
