"Sunshine" for the soul!.......2005-04-26

This CD is liquid sunshine. It made me feel so good to listen to it. It reminds me of '60's music, kind of like Donovan (do you remember him??) . It is innocent, sparkling, iridescent, and refreshing, like sunlight on water. It is like a very needed breath of fresh air!!! I highly recommend it!

Superb Pop Album.......2005-03-04

Wallpaper For The Soul is an incredible album of pop music that delivers a great collection of songs that feature catchy melodies and intelligent lyrics that resonate with a wide range of emotions. For example, a song like "Happy End" starts slowly with a piano accompanying the lyrics, followed by a beautiful guitar melody. A sad mood defines the first half of the song as Xavier Boyer sings "I know how the story ends, we are so predictable, but each time, your love for me, dies a little more". The song picks up near the end with a more upbeat outlook and ends with the words, "cause I know you understand, that we all deserve, just a happy end". Another favorite line is from the song "Open Book", "It makes you wish you were lost and never found, but your eyes are like an open book".

Other songs feature violins, flutes, and horn sections that help create upbeat or airy moods. There is a wide range of songs that can easily relate to how you're feeling, whether you're a bit down because of a romantic breakup or happy on a sunny day. Each listener will find a song that makes a personal connection. I highly recommend this album to any fan of smooth, relaxing pop music.

As a huge fan of the group Ivy, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Andy Chase was the producer of this album.

Magnificient Piece of Work--*pure excellence*.......2004-12-15

If I was traveling in my convertible on the coast with the summer breeze blowing through this is one of the albums (and maybe the only)I would bring. This is not pop, but acoustic excellence. A refreshing sound from a talented supergroup.

Check out their other works also.

I enjoyed about 80% of the music-which is exceptional for me.

Warm and Wonderful.......2004-11-10

I bought this CD based on the reviews here and I am so glad I did. This is a rare and wonderful complilation of music that simply makes you feel good. It is experimental in the same way the classic Beach Boys' Pet Sessions were - innovative and refreshing and nothing like you've ever heard before. Xavier Boyer's vocals are amazing - like audio sunshine for your soul. My favorite tracks are the pop-masterpiece "1,000 Times" and the lovely "Fun Fair" - I could play them over and over until the CD wears out and still not tire of them.

I can't wait for Tahiti 80's next CD to come out.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.......2004-02-13

Ok, I'm going to keep this short because if you want the LONG VERSION, check out another review (there's a novel-length review on the site here somewhere).

I love this album. It's a new sound, it's got a refreshing tone, and it transcends the lines of genre nicely. The songs have a refreshing pop sensibility with a touch of almost techno sound to them at times. They also have intelligent and interesting lyrics.

This and all the other Tahiti 80 Albums are things that I really do enjoy, but I can admit that they're not for everyone. I have numerous friends who don't like how mellow this album is, but I'd have to say that usually, it's the least open-minded people I know with regards to music, and/or the ones who have tastes that make me want to vomit.

I guess you could say that if you're into the music that you regularly hear on the "rock" stations, you should look somewhere else. Comparitively, this is a somewhat experimental pop album, but when i mean pop, I'm talking about high quality, poppy music, not the generic "lovey-dovey n'sync/brittney spears/New kids on the block/I think I just puked on my shoes" pop. Really, this music to some extent invokes the Beatles to me in that it's experimental, not like much of anything else before it, and just fantastically written and performed.

This is just good music and worth checking out.
