5 out of 5 stars Michael Shrieve fans in here, OH YEAH!!!.......2007-02-05

this music is in my favortie all time classics!! i have both albums by them on vinyl, yes-the 1st was awesome-those who love Michael Shrieve on drums from Santana will definitely enjoy this round from him.. classic rock w/ a twist of r/b & contempo/sci-fi rock, if-u-will...

Unique to it's time, but will always stand the test in my book!!!!!!!
MY Pearl-gotta luv it!!!

3 out of 5 stars An "Automatic" Rip-off from Lemon Recordings!.......2006-06-07

Just received my copy of "Automatic Man" on CD. I slid it in the CD player and was SHOCKED, repeat, SHOCKED when the opening track, "Atlantis Rising Fanfare," began clicking and popping as if I were playing my old, worn-out vinyl copy of "AM!"

The same thing happens on the tracks, "Right Back Down," and "There's A Way." I instantly entered the web site address supplied on the cd cover (lemonrecordings.co.uk)to let loose a torrent of pissed-off fury, but guess what? The web site ain't working!

Someone must and will pay!

5 out of 5 stars Flawless!!!!!.......2006-01-06

The previous reviews are 100% correct. Not only is there not a bad track on this record, there isn't a bad note. This is a timeless recording, as influential and progressive today as it was when it came out. I challenge anyone to hear it and then try to get it out of their head ...

4 out of 5 stars An "Automatic" Jam!.......2005-10-26

Unfortunately, My vinyl copy of "AM" is severely f**ked-up, and I've been waiting for what seems like eons for this excellent piece of music to be released on CD, so damn the reviewers who say the sound quality sucks!! I'm buying it!

Anyone out there who has Bassist Stanley Clarke's cd, "Modern Man", will hear how he blatantly ripped-off "Automatic Man's" concept as far as the sequencing of the music is concerned. (with far less success, IMO!)

3 out of 5 stars Automatic Man Severely Neglected.......2006-07-15

I know that this take on the Automatic Man story will likely irritate some of those familiar with both albums and disdainful of both songs in question, but the biggest question of all is how two astounding would-be singles in a row, "My Pearl" (from the debut) and "Give It To Me", simply didn't become Top 10 smashes in the late Seventies. I can only imagine it was due to Island not having the resources to promote either (this being, of course, pre-U2, although the label's primary roster of reggae artists gave them a steady stream of revenue). "My Pearl" consistently defies easy categorization and portends the (Glenn) Hughes / (Pat) Thrall sound nearly a decade early, as does to a lesser extent the slinky gift-of-the-Magi tale "Give It To Me", resembling, ironically enough, a cross between Rick James (who, of course, had a hit of almost the same exact name not too long after) and Steely Dan. That Island was so blase about this sonically innovative act (try.....earliest Ambrosia, fronted not by David Pack but Donald Fagen, jamming with the Brothers Johnson?) especially given their budding reputation as a cutting-edge label, remains one of those nagging music biz mysteries; while lead vocalist and composer Bayete's lyrics could be a bit clumsy and Thrall is really best known to mainstream audiences in tandem with Pat Travers for "Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)", maybe Automatic Man were just TOO eclectic and a little before their time.

5 out of 5 stars Impressive Sophomore Effort!!.......2005-09-06

This album lacks some of the musical creativity of the first Automatic Man album. The departure of bassist Doni Harvey (who now records innovative blues songs on his DoniMusic label) seemed to remove the funky bottom from the layered, spacey rock groove that the first album pioneered. Drummer Mike Shrieve's exit was also awkward, as it seemed that the band was originally formed to provide a showcase for his talents.
I felt that vocalist/keyboardist Bayete outshined the other musical geniuses in the band on its debut, and then continued to shepherd on with guitarist Pat Thrall (Pat Travers Band, Asia, Hughes/Thrall, Sly & Robbie) for this second effort. It's a continuation of its predecessor, but more synthesizer-driven and danceable ("Give It to Me", "Live Wire"). There were quicker breaks, unexpected bursts of loud guitar and change in tempo ("Here I Am Now"), and the trademark space-rock sound of their classic first album.
Great to find music with great catchy melodies, outstanding musicianship, and little or no gimmicks. Many thanks to Lemon Records for distributing this gem, and be sure to pick up the amazing debut effort from Automatic Man!
