talk about grandiose...and odd.......2004-07-22

here's what i said when i got it: "my fourth gorky purchase, their first domestic release. wonderful quirky-folk stuff. lots of keyboards and knob-tweaking on this one, more so than the others, but the songs aren't weighed down too much because of it. a select few are masterpieces. i love this bandm and though this album doesn't have so much immediate appeal as i'd hoped for, it may very well climb in my estimation with future listens (sort of like spanish dance troupe, my second purchase of theirs, has climbed to a 5...now one of my favorite records)."

but, uh, yeah...this one didn't really grow on me. i rarely listen to it anymore, sticking to blue trees, spanish, and summer.

An excellent introduction to Gorky's!.......2000-08-18

"Introducing..." is a collection of Gorky's early work and is an excellent place to start if you're new to the band. The sound is a mix of Beatles, The Beach Boys and Soft Machine and fits perfectly in the (rather lose) brit-pop genre. A must have for serious music lovers.

Pleased to meet you, Gorky's!.......1999-11-20

This altogether fun and wonderful CD was cobbled together out of the Welsh band's first two albums (Tatay and Bwyd Time) and a series of EP's and singles released in their native Wales. It contains their hit single in the UK, Miss Trudy, as well as their version of Kevin Ayers' Why Are We Sleeping. Not to mention the other songs like Flordd Oren and Merched Yh Meud Gwallt Eu Gilydd, which will have you singing along after the 2nd time through in spite of the fact you don't know any Welsh. Gorky's has progressed since this, their early material, but it shows their pop heart and their prog-rock brains were in the right balance all the time. Certainly a must for anyone who loves Barafundle and Spanish Dance Troupe, and for those uninitiated, well, here's the place to start!

This album is a good cure for depression..........1999-03-14

I heard this album described as a cross between the Beach Boys and Captain Beefheart, and I just had to hear what that sounded like. I'm sure glad I bought this, GZM is one of the most creative bands I've encountered recently. They are definitely influenced by bands from the 60s and 70s, but this music is all their own. The lyrics are whimsical (at least the ones in English are--I don't know about the Gaelic ones), and even the songs in a minor key have an underlying happy tone. I can never stay in a bad mood when listening to this album. Check out this worthy band!

Turning over a new leaf with a best -of- the- way- they were.......1999-02-28

This album was released co-inciding with the end of their relationship with Welsh indie label Ankst and producer Alan Holmes, and a overall change of angle considering their music - as it turns out an entirely more popular angle with Barafundle and Gorky 5 seeing them enjoy some of their best sales yet. This is a perfect send off- they allow the best tracks from their various early EP's to reach those who may not have been able to find them (or afford them) as well as some stray album tracks for good measure. A perfect 'Introduction' for an excellent group.
