"The music is as odd as its title. I only own one other Mars Volta album, Octahedron on CD. I wanted one on vinyl and bought this. It is rare that I buy an album which I don’t really connect with. Despite a few listens, I can’t really get into it. It’s at times totally disconnected and at times ma..."  [+]  Reply

Best Of Cream 
Compilation
"The sleeve artwork is awful but the songs within make up for it. An excellent collection of songs which provide an enjoyable listen from start to finish. If you want to capture the very best of Cream then look no further."  Reply

"Kinda disappointing set list, plus songs like Down by the River and Cowgirl in the Sand are already filled with long guitar solos, no need for a 16 min version. That being said it's still NY and CH so can't complain too much."  Reply

"Moonshake's debut album blends asymmetrical rhythms--think Can (from whose song the band took their name) or Silver Apples)--with rock guitars, noises and samples, dub-bass lines, pulling in some flutes or other jazz instruments into a highly layered post-rock collage best listened to with a grea..."  [+]  Reply

"I listened to this album to death on my little CD walkman on the way to work in Hamburg. It was also really popular in a couple of bars I frequented as well. 'Becoming X' is a unique sounding album with heavy trip hop but also Indie pop influences. Highlights for me are 'Post Modern Sleaze' and '..."  [+]  Reply

"A great album & their best work, every track is good even the Richard Carpenter vocals on the track Piano Picker. Side 1 (tracks 1-6) is exceptional easy listening laid back music and the final 3 tracks are a brilliant way to close an album, Road Ode is a very underrated song. Karen Carpenter has..."  [+]  Reply
