ALBUMS
"If Neil Young was a Canadian Songstre..." more
"If Neil Young was a Canadian Songstress then he would have proudly performed some of the simple country folk tunes with the big bass and mandolin treatments included on this Album. Track 1: "Human Thing" Vulnerablity to Strength anthem, Track 2: "For the Turnstiles" A whimiscal wonderment Neil Young tune, Track 6:"Scattered Leaves" Uses the same whimiscal care free look at love lost that would make Neil proud." less
"Strokes not Strokes. The group plays ..." more
"Strokes not Strokes. The group plays with heart and it shows. It's pumped up and bass driven. Clean but electric. Taken to an edgy point past subdued. I glossed over this collection after I collected what was a free Track 1: "The World Was A Mess But His Hair Was Perfect" Great energy intro. Later on I picked up Track 2: "Little Superstitions" Which is brilliant Alternative classic which I don't hear enough anywhere. I am convinced this band needs to be promoted by the industry because they have a sound that works." less
"It's the quality of the mix. Byrne's ..." more
"It's the quality of the mix. Byrne's use of vocal and his flicking funky licks with the Eno builds that will grow on you with each listen. To all who say it's not a Byrne and Eno classic are probably longing for a "fear of Music" or "More Songs" sound but this is mature and soulful and well thought out.Track 7 "Strange Overtones" is classic. Then there is the soulful anthem track 5"Life Is Long" replete with horns and builds. Track 1:"Home" is where you have to start.but track 3:"I Feel My Stuff" brings back the errie Byrne and Eno that you "fear of " fans long for." less
"Dungen is a sound experience that you..." more
"Dungen is a sound experience that you need to ride. I downloaded track 1:"Sätt att se" last month and was drawn in by the movement and layering of sound. I can't translate but it doesn't matter because they create ear candy. Track 6 Fredag is magic Track 7 Finns det nÃÂ¥gon möjlighet is a Noise pop gem. Between are you experienced and purple haze is track 4: "Samtidigt 1"...Light it up!" less
SONGS
"Before Iggy Pop,before Johnny Rotten,..." more
"Before Iggy Pop,before Johnny Rotten, The Cramps or the Walkmen in the middle of the last century there was Sky Saxon of The Seeds which begs one to ask "Is it out of the question to assume that punk rock originated in Los Angeles?" Listen as Sky rambles Rotten Like with Iggy abandon an energitic California surfing bird." less
"Great end to a great recording."
"BYE to start an album. singer Warren ..." more
"BYE to start an album. singer Warren Spicer warns "Whats going to happen to you" Seems like an encouragement to listen on. Put this in a mix before Arcade Fire's "The Woodlands National Anthem" and this Genre of music will light up and make sense." less
"Talking heads fan you can rock and gy..." more
"Talking heads fan you can rock and gyrate to this Theivery Corp mix with David Byrne vocals punctuated by the "Born Under Punches" guitar lick. Nice for metro heads." less
"Straight forward driving song with Pe..." more
"Straight forward driving song with Perry Farrel. A must for those Janes Addiction fans. Nice" less
