"One of the best compilations of all time, they could have made an Echoes Vol. 2 and 3 with all the great music Pink Floyd have made over the years. If you want to start getting to know what Pink Floyd are all about get this and then explore their back catalogue."  Reply

"Something For Kate will be remembered if only for 'Monsters' from this album. But the album has a lot to offer and was one album I listened to constantly after its intial release. My all-time favourite Aus album."  Reply

"For a mostly instrumental record, it does a good job conveying feelings and emotions. There's not a whole lot of variety here, but it's an hour well spent and I'd recommend listening to it at least once."  Reply

"Very underappreciated band. This is my favourite album of theirs. They've written some real feel-good rock anthems. This one contains two of the best of them - Seven Days In The Sun and Buck Rogers."  Reply

"I did not get the music of this band at all. A mix of Johnny Cash, Dylan, and Elvis Costello. The vocals were lazy and dreamy, but most of the songs were not very cool."  Reply

"Originally my Number One album of 2001, in a year that I saw her live, which may have had some influence on my feelings toward this album. I still love this one, even though it's a change of pace from her classic previous release, Car Wheels. This one is much more bare and subtle than the classic..."  [+]  Reply

"Gah! I couldn't disagree with you more, found out about this on the same thread as you although I think the sound is even better than on UP for many of the tracks (Shadowplay, Disorder and Transmission) Best live album ever (after stop making sense)"  Reply

"This has always been his best album for me, although 2010's self-titled album turned out to be about equally good. I love the lead track, the way that song kicks in from the tinny mono to full stereo. The first four songs are all great, and then "Murray" and "Closet" are the highlights of the 2nd..."  [+]  Reply
