"A strong album with great ideas but simply too long and too much filler (relative to the best tracks--of which there is 9, IMO!) to be a classic. The album balances Hip Hop with Neo Soul and Jazz to make for a well-produced and varied listen, but the first half is much stronger than the second ha..."  [+]  Reply

"A really fantastic recording and performance. I'd say this outdoes the studio recording except for Another Brick in the Wall Part II, Comfortably Numb, and The Trial (all of which benefit from more polished studio work on the normal versions). Everything else just totally smokes the studio versio..."  [+]  Reply

"The Spring Heel Jack project was launched in 1994 by the duo of John Coxon, ex guitarist for Spiritualized and Ashley Wales, ex collaborator of Shock Headed Peters. The first track on this amazing album, 'Rachel Point', opens with pounding drums, Miles Davis-style trumpet licks and looping keyboa..."  [+]  Reply

"It has often been noted that it may be difficult to put genre label on Emmylou Harris' "new" style which was founded with "Wrecking Ball" in 1995. It is obvious that there are strong roots in both country, folk and rock, and I feel that her music can be compared with Richard Thompson's, which of ..."  [+]  Reply

"The album begins with “Small Fries”: shifting, clean guitar notes, pounding bass and soft drum cymbals. The guitar continues its jazzy, soft lament as the vocals set in: “…But you can't evict the sun It shines on one hour Every morning Every day..” Quite appropriate at the moment..."  [+]  Reply

"For those not familiar with the history of jazz, Louis Armstrong was probably the most important figure in the early development of the genre. His innovative improvisations and superb technical skills on the trumpet and cornet basically set the standard for jazz in the 1920s and 1930s. My favorit..."  [+]  Reply
