"Just another measly reason why i love Bradford Cox to death. Not only can he front one of the most dynamic contemporary indie rock bands but he can also create layered, atmospheric and enjoyable little gems of joy that turn me from an all-round lover of music into biased little sissy that may as ..."

"This guy's a great fuckin' musician. The album is truly inventive and I never paid attention to it. Love the way that its music's structures are vulnerable to the arrangements." Reply

"I remember I was disappointed when I listened to it for the first time - although (or because) I liked the earlier albums very much. This one grew on me almost everytime I listened to it, and pretty soon it became my favourite Doves album. It is a pity that it still is the last record they released." [+] Reply

"Really don't think there's much more to add as people below have really summarised it so well. Like all great movies, the soundtrack to Fellowship isn't just an addition to what's on screen, it viscerally conveys the emotions and themes and sheer scale of what plays out. It's one of my favourite ..." [+] Reply

"José González is a Swedish singer-songwriter who, like Nick Drake, became known for his guitar and classical vocals. On this relaxing album, José González focuses on themes such as perseverance. The album is really inspired by Nick Drake, the singer alone with his guitar forcing a personality. Th..." [+] Reply

"Air provides a psychedelic caress between the disassociative culture that gave us ambient music and the idealistic and naive world of post war America which gave us The Birth of Cool. Synthesizers pulsate in a vast but colorless world of texture like a throbbing Ansel Adams photo; then angelic vo..." [+] Reply

"I revise my rating... For those of you having a hard time getting into this, this album was written when Kozelek's long time girlfriend, Katy, had died of cancer at age 35. Heron Blue is about her slow decline in health. A lot of the songs are joyful remembrances of her. Now try to get through th..." [+] Reply
