"With 'Boces' (the follow-up to their debut masterpiece, 'Yerself Is Steam') Mercury Rev's Dave Fridmann and Jonathan Donahue have proven to be arguably the most creative artists to have emerged on the scene since Mayo Thompson. Beautiful pastoral sounds of the flute merge with sonic collages, fre..."  [+]  Reply

"The darker and much shorter companion piece to the excellent, Copper blue. It's certainly not as instant as it's predecessor and is a lot more hard work to get into. It's still a very good record slightly tarnished by the fact that the vocals are so low down in the mix making them impossible to u..."  [+]  Reply

"When I was but a wee bit of a lad, THIS is what I dreamed Country music sounded like. Austere, plaintive & naked coupled with a crazed spiritual fervor. You can imagine my horror when I found out it was nothing more than a NEUTERED version of the hard rock of my junior high school years. Luckily ..."  [+]  Reply

"Aimee’s first solo record is lesser known than her later work, but, in terms of quality and consistency, I think it’s her second best (behind I’m With Stupid). High quality pop across the board, with the best songs the lovely ballad, “4th of July,” and the rockers “I Could Hurt You Now” and “Say ..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is extremely underrated, Most only know it for the couple of radio hits. But the entire album is classic 90's rough with a heavy dose of country rock. Great ballad is "I want Everything""  Reply

"Despite what sp4cetiger says, there are indeed ways around the Laws of Thermodynamics. Just ask Seefeel who developed their own perpetual motion machine with Quique. Which makes it the album to beat for post-midnight, no one else on the highway, road tripping music when you need to sleep NOW but ..."  [+]  Reply

"I think this has to be my favourite JMJ album. I listened to the tape for hours driving up and down motorways some 30 years ago! I recently got this on vinyl re-issue although I still have the tape. I liked this album so much when it was issued that I bought the full musical score and ended up se..."  [+]  Reply

"Inncercity Griots is perhaps, in a word, singular. Absolutely one of the titans of abstract hip hop from where I'm standing, Freestyle Fellowship combine the laid back, jazzy production of A Tribe Called Quest (along with a healthy dose of their penchant for "weird" lyrics) with a variety of uniq..."  [+]  Reply
