Though the lightning crackling across the CD cover suggests a heavy-metal band (or perhaps a cross between the Addams Family and a Black Oak Arkansas reunion), the second release by Cherryholmes on Ricky Skaggs's label establishes the family band as one of the most promising acts in contemporary bluegrass. The star here is Cia Cherryholmes, the banjo-playing daughter who composes most of the album's original material and ranks with Alison Krauss as a vocalist on highlights such as the opening "You Don't Know What Love Is" and the prison-ballad title track. Yet the instrumental interplay and harmonies reflect the sextet's blood ties, while the range of material bridges the traditional and progressive (it's hard to hear Cia's "Don't Give Your Heart to a Knoxville Girl," sung by brother B.J., without thinking of the Louvin Brothers' classic "Knoxville Girl"). --Don McLeese

Bluegrass music.......2007-07-13

If your looking for a good example of Bluegrass music, this is the CD for you...I have seen Cherryholmes perform and their singing,playing and clogging is perfection...This CD can take you from mellow to foot stomping...I absolutely advise anyone to purchase this CD...You won't be disappointed...

Another Home Run!.......2007-06-15

Cherryholmes first Skaggs Family cd was excellent and it appears the family is starting a tradition. This cd is solid country and bluegrass. The instruments are played with technical skill , feeling, and the arrangements are perfect for each song. The singing is top notch and I much prefer Cia Cherryholmes voice in clarity and range. It is good to hear the boys sing more, and Sandy as well! Highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:

It's hard to put into words........2007-07-16

To describe this album in a few short words is impossible. Roy Orbison is one of the greatest of all times. NO one (in my humble opinion) will ever have a bigger impact on music in my lifetime. This album shows just how a live album should be. Unforgettable

Pretty Women.......2007-07-16

Roy Orbison, Bruce Springteen, Elvis Costello and more. What's not to like. Golden Oldie for everybody out there who loves Rock and Roll. Doen't hurt that Amazon shipped it to me in 4 days.

Best of Roy live, 20 years ago via television..........2007-07-05

I've always been a casual Orbison fan---while enjoying his radio hits, I never felt drawn to buying a whole LP. Finally, I invested in this disc, from a kind of a comeback concert televised in 1987. On it, Roy gets subtle help from a bunch of good guest artists, but the main attraction, as always, is his distinctive voice, songwriting skills, and arranging artistry. He was in good vocal shape on this occasion, and his big hits do not sound much different than the original 45-rpm singles did which began coming out more than 20 years earlier. In fact, the best performances captured here are those big hits: "Only the Lonely" and "Blue Bayou" and "Running Scared" and "Oh, Pretty Woman." The tunes I was less familiar with, "Leah" and "The Comedians" for instance, I found much less interesting. If you, like me, know that Roy had come a long way from Wink, Texas through Clovis, NM and Memphis, TN to superstardom, and you wanted him represented in the music that reflects your younger days, this is as good a choice as any. (Although I was a kid in Jersey when Roy had his first hit single, I now live halfway between his boyhood home in Wink and the site of his first recordings (not hits) at Norman Petty's studio in Clovis. Roy's initial success came from his association at Sun Records in Memphis, however, which must have seemed like a grand metropolis to the geeky looking kid from Wink.)

THE ESSENTIAL ROY ORBISON.......2007-05-12

THERE IS NO ONE GREATER THAN ROY ORBISON AND THIS IS ONE OF HIS BEST CD'S. IT IS PRICED REASONABLY AND THE SHIPPING IS FAST AND REASONABLE.

LOVE ROY ORBISON.......2007-05-09

AS A TEENAGER I GREW UP LISTENING TO ROY ORBISON. HE'S THE BEST. I LOVE HIS BLACK AND WHITE CD...IT HAS ALL HIS GREATEST HITS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CD FOR ALL THE KIDS GROWING UP IN THE 1960'S.

Album Description

Comedian Lewis Black, best known for his caustic yet hilarious social commentary as a commentator on Comedy Central's Daily Show, unleashes nearly an hour of his insightful material on this CD. Recorded just shortly before Thanksgiving 1999, we catch Lewis on one of his incredible tirades against all things inane and moronic, be it the weather person, or Bill Clinton's definition of "is."

Customer Reviews:

AWSOME....LEWIS BLACK DOES IT AGAIN.......2007-05-07

What is there to say about the greatest comic out there today. This is very funny and very worth the price. I have every one of his albums and video's and they are all worth it.

one of todays greatest comedians.......2007-01-29

All of Lewis Black's material is hilarious but this is his best cd. You will laugh during the entire cd.

Lewis Black is a very funny man.......2007-01-19

His topical ranting style is hillarious and intellegent. I think I have listened to this album at least 20 times and am not tired of it.

Best of Lewis Black.......2005-12-30

I've heard a lot of Lewis Black and I feel this is probably his best.

Lewis Black's best CD.......2005-11-01

I think this is Lewis Black's best... it has some of the funniest stuff I've heard from him.. I really recommend you buy this album!

The greatest songs ever?.......2007-07-26

I heard 'clear or cloudy', from this recording, on the radio recently and had to purchase it. It is strange but it is the sort of song that makes life prior to listening to it different from life after. I find it sad that so many people haven't heard it. There are also many other wonderful works in this collection. Given you get twelve well recorded CDs with top quality performances, this has to be one of the bargains of the age.

Please buy it.

A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

Silence would be preferred..........2007-03-22

I'm only giving it two stars because one of the songs is actually not too bad "Ohio is For Lovers", other than that, do as I did and don't waste your money on this album. It's very dissapointing and unpleasant to the ears, and I usually enjoy some screamo.

Wow...what could I say that hasn't been said?.......2007-03-14

I know.

GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY WINDOW WITH YOUR RADIO!

Thats some scary stuff. I really hate this music. Almost as much as top 40 pop and rap, and I pity people who like any of that stuff. For a more detailed review on music today please visit my 1 star review for that new Fergie cd (the explicit lyrics one). You will most likely be pleased. Also, I can't stand those "emo" kids. Ok, for those of you who are listeing, you have nothing to be depressed about. The average "emo" kid is an upper middle class kid with everything going for him/her who wants to "stand out" from the crowd and look like a complete fag in some girl pants. Grow up.

Sincerely,
Jake

Okay music, horrible unoriginal lyrics.......2007-01-26

I would say that this album is okay. Their music is very catching, but their lyrics seem just like random lines thrown in to aid their music in trying to sound depressing.

Sure, their music can evoke the sad, melancholy feeling that they are aiming for, but I feel that they can be more creative with their lyrics. I mean, the chorus of their best known song in this album, Ohio is for lovers, has the most unoriginal lyrics. "Because you kill me.
You know you do, you kill me well."

I would say that overall, this is a good album, and they can execute music/melody/rhythm well, but if you're looking for depth in any of their songs, you're looking in the wrong place.

Please.......2006-09-18

Now come on I listen to this and i'm in no way emo i just like the harder music i think these guys are a great band and don't get enough credit.

before you go off on a tear on how much this band sucks and start saying that all fans who listen to them are "emo" stop and think boy i sound a little hypocritical that's like me saying everyone who listens to classic rock smokes pot.

anyway i like this band my fav songs on the cd are life on standby,niki FM, And ohio is for lovers.

Haha!! Set Abominae is spot on 100%!!.......2006-09-05

I'd write a review but Set Abominae wrote his so well, I'd just be regurgitating his words.

Hawthorne Heights is no different from the rest of the emo crowd (they all suck), don't waste your time with this s*** and go for quality bands like Dream Theater, Opeth, Arch Enemy, Iced Earth, Nevermore, and Symphony X.

Once you free yourself from emo, you'll thank me for recommending greater bands.

A Must For any Zebra Fan!!.......2005-08-27

Having been born and raised in New Orleans I've been listening to Zebra sice I was a teen (now 37). The cd is great from start to finish. It has unreleased tracks and alternate versions of some their best known songs. No way to be disappointed with the track list. The only oter song I would've squeezed on here would be a cover Zep's The Ocean. A truly outstanding best of.

excellent new orleans band..........2001-04-17

fisrt heard of these guys in high school when radio was playing " lullaby," and its my favorite zebra song..."bears" and "who's behind the door ? " are also very good...one of the lesser known 80's bands that had gold records and a cult following...

ALL OF THIS FROM A 3-MAN BAND?.......2000-06-22

If you're a fan of 80's rock, this is a sure-fire winner to add to your collection. Zebra is a band that produces one of the most unique sounds you will ever hear- why they never made it to the top of the world of rock is a mystery to me. If you haven't heard their music, buy this CD and enjoy the ride. If you have heard of this band, then you already have their previous releases in your collection.

This group reminds me of Rush in many ways: A three-man band with a distinctive sound, songs with excellent lyrics, and musicians who are very talented. In listening to this CD, it still amazes me that this band is a trio. Equally amazing is their ability to produce the goods on stage as well, as I have seen them live many times.

Go ahead and add to your cart one of the most overlooked bands of its era.

THE BEST BAND NEVER TO MAKE THE BIGS.......2000-06-17

I'll state from the beginning that I am from Zebra's hometown and have been going to their concerts since they began playing. But I grew up a huge fan of the 80's mega band/metal sound and have also seen Van Halen, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Journey, Boston, Scorpions, Motley Crue, Judas Priest etc. in concert as well and own just about every CD from these bands.

If you are looking to hear some phenomenal music from that era and don't have Zebra in your collection, put it in your cart now. This band rocks and you will not be dissapointed. I rank them up there with my favorite band of all time, Van Halen. Yes, they're that good. One of the best bands of their era not to hit the big time. And yes, I will be going to their next local concert.

What's Black & White and Rock'n'Roll All Over?.......2000-06-03

This is the album to get from Zebra. They were the "unknown" band with the semi-hit, Who's Behind the Door. This three man band's lead guitarist/singer, Randy Jackson, has the vocal stylings of a hard rock Frankie Valli. He has a HIGH voice. But that's okay, because it works on Zebra's music.

The songs Tell Me What You Want, Hard Livin' Without You and Wait Until the Summer's Gone really rock. There's also some more good, melodic tunes in Bears, Lullaby and Who's Behind the Door. Also fun is Riverside and Better Not Call. The other tracks are fair.

Zebra is really one of the great, but relatively "unknown" bands of the 80's and 90's. They're right up there with Steelheart, Thunder, XYZ and Shooting Star. Give them a try, there's some good stuff in this release.

Excellent Improvisational Piano.......2005-07-12

Danny Wright is always a winner in my book, but the collection on this CD is exceptional. I first owned it on cassette. The CD is a step up in sound. Easy listening; relaxing; beautiful!

There were some bright spots for this cd, stay tuned..........2001-02-07

For this cd Danny tried to play too many medleys. He used this vehicle three times. I have never been a big fan of medleys, but I try to tolerate this venue as much as possible. This time I thought these medelys were a little ridiculious.

There were some bright spots for this cd. On the songs that I liked, Danny did a great job. He seemed to play with a lot of passion. He made these performances seem believeable.

I think it would be alright to buy this cd.

Soooo Soothing!.......1998-08-07

This is the BEST music to relax with. Danny Wright is the master...You can feel the tension drain away...(and its more pleasant and cheaper than therapy!)

Customer Reviews:

Thanks for the memories........2006-05-28

This CD features 65 Television theme songs from the late '40s to the early '60s. Most of the more famous shows from this era appeared on Volumes 1 and 2 of this series, so there are some pretty obscure shows on this one. Who remembers "Karen" or "The Everglades"? Of course, there are also some fondly remembered shows, like "Tennessee Tuxedo", "Make Room For Daddy" and "The Untouchables". But there isn't quite as much nostalgia value for me this time around, since many of the themes are from shows I never saw.

Not My Favorite!.......2001-12-06

A few years ago when I was in a TV theme phase I got all the Television's Greatest Hits CD's and most of the collection is good but I was disappointed with Vol 4, probably because I have never heard the majority of these themes and I was bored with The CD, the only themes I have ever heard are Lassie, Make Room For Daddy, Father Knows Best, Ozzie and Harriet, Davy Crocket, Gunsmoke, The Fugitive, The Untouchables, and Candid Camera, the rest are TV shows that I have never seen syndicated reruns of so I don't know their themes. I guess a person should just stick with the Television's Greatest Hits CD's that have themes of TV shows that they actually grew up watching or saw on Nick at Nite or TVland.

Inconsistent, but still great.......2000-05-02

Lots of fun, and I'm glad to have it, but can you really claim any artistic merit for the Roger Ramjet song?

Two other minor points: It's kind of silly to have The Wonderful World of Color on an album called Black and White Classics. Also, I was extremely disappointed in the Fugitive cut without the voiceover. Come on -- is your most vivid memory the music, or William Conrad's voice, " Dr. Richard Kimble, an innocent victim of blind justice..."?

Still, I'm glad I have it. Where else are you going to find Beany & Cecil, Captain Midnight, Soupy Sales, etc. A lot of old friends are here.

The words of Bob Hope's theme song say it best -- "Thanks for the memories."

fabulous but what about..........2000-04-16

I love it, but I really want is a CD of old TV COMMERCIALS! "Winston Tastes Good Like a Cigarette Should..." Speedy's song from Alka Seltzer, "Coke For The Ta-aste Of Your Li-i-ife", etc. Thanks.

Buena Continuacion.......2005-10-29

Diría yo que este trabajo musical es en cierta forma la continuación de "Outside Looking in": mantiene la línea, el sonido de las guitarras queda casi intacto, el arreglo vocal es similar, sin llegar a que suene "plana" y/o monótona. Así que también este album lo considero bastante bueno y además ratifíca la calidad musical de los BoDeans. Bien x eso ¡¡

Infectious American Rock.......2001-12-06

"Black and White" is a great collection of straight-ahead pop-rock songs, nearly all of them ridiculously catchy and infectious. Like the BoDeans' later effort,"Go Slow Down," this CD is all guitar rock -- if there are synths/keyboards, they are quite low key and used only for rhythm, effects (very few), or atmosphere.

Of the 12 songs, 7 are incredibly good and make the CD worth purchasing. For good or ill, the hands-down best song on the CD is the first track, "Good Things." If you are not tapping your toes and struggling to sing along with the chorus, check your wrist for a pulse or your toe for a morgue tag. Simply great pop-rock with a bittersweet edge. The BoDeans have written the quintessential unrequited pop love song.

However, even though the album reaches its zenith right out of the gate, there are still a good number of gems waiting for the listener. "Any Given Day," the fifth track, features a chorus riff and lyric that you will be singing for days after. I'm not sure if these guys missed their true calling in writing jingles for commercials, but I am glad they've done something with their gift. "For one dollar you can see angels call/For two dollar you can see your enemies fall/For three dollar, you can be king for a day." Trust me. You WILL be singing this!

"Do I Do" and "Bad for You" are more hand-clapping, car-dancing inspiring pieces. Both love songs, the first manages to be both bittersweet and sensually groovy. The second, "Bad for You," is a romp of a song, featuring simple (though not simplistic) lyrics and a (here's that word again) fabulously infectious rhythm.

Additionally, "True Devotion," "Paradise," and "Long Hard Day" all match up to the BoDeans at their best. Spanning from sad lament to rocking anthem, they draw you in and have you searching the CD booklet to ensure you can sing along next time.

While I state that 7 songs are stand outs, only 2 of the tracks are what I consider unredeemable failures: "Black, White and Blood Red" and "Going Home." It's not the music that fails here; it's the ear-bloodying vocals of the #2 singer of the group. Sounding as if he swallowed a mouthful of broken glass, his raspy singing voice really grates on these tracks. For the other 10 songs, the other singer does the vocals, and his style and voice are simply great. On "True Devotion," the two share singing responsibilities, but it works on that track.

"Forever on My Mind," "Naked" and "Hell of a Chance" simply don't register with me. They're not bad or good -- a bit bland and unremarkable. If the CD is playing out of reach, I let the tracks play. If it's playing on my PC or close by, I will skip them.

If you only know the BoDeans through "Closer to Free," you'll really dig this collection. If you're looking for great listener-friendly rock to clean the house, wash the car, or get ready to go out on a Saturday night, search no longer.

Wholehearted release.......2001-07-09

This Wisconsin band's fourth album is a solid, hearty and wholesome effort without being stodgy. It is enjoyable throughout as the BoDeans have put together 12 tracks of fresh, easy-to-digest guitar-based rock.

The other main strengths evident here are their songwriting and their two vocalists. Singers Sam Llanas and Kurt Neumann have pleasing and distinctive voices.

Three of the more intense songs, "Long Hard Day", "Naked" and the single "Black, White and Blood Red" are certainly highlights.

Black and White is immediately accessible and does not seem to have a weak spot.

If you haven't listened to Scritti Politti's Cupid & Psyche '85 lately, you may be shocked at how well it holds up. With the hyper-literate songwriting chops of XTC and a fluffy electronic sheen that remains highly influential, the damn thing is better than it ever was, filled with impossible sweetness and glistening pop songs that were--despite the helium lightness of Green Gartside's voice--deceptively ballsy. 20 years later, White Bread Black Beer flaunts many of the same qualities. Gartside may be in his 50s, but he's still pure High Fructose with his candy-colored saccharine tones, linguistic non-sequiturs (see "The Boom Boom Bap") and sweet--but blunt--atheism ("After Six"). Beer completely ditches the strong hip-hop influence of SP's last "comeback" album, 1999's Anomie & Bonhomie and replaces it with quieter, softer textures and ballads. Then again, the whole thing was recorded in the back room of Gartside's Hackney apartment so maybe he just lacked the production oomph to jazz it up properly. Not that it matters; Beer might be a relatively hushed and less exuberant record, but it's unmistakably Scritti Politti, bursting with a twinkling, bright likeability that makes us grateful for anything Gartside manages to release. --Matthew Cooke

Album Description

With the release of White Bread Black Beer, the first Scritti Politti offering in seven years, Green Gartside experiments with lush Beach Boys-style harmonies and Beatles-esque melodies, subtly subverting them with touches of hip hop and reggae. Gartside once again offers instantly embraceable, pure-pop pleasure. If you plunge beneath these shimmering surfaces, however, you'll discover greater challenges and richer rewards--reservoirs of feeling and layers of meaning residing within Gartside's carefully arranged lyrics.

Customer Reviews:

The gems make it worth it.......2007-02-18

As a music fan not particularly fond of Scritti, I found this album to have a lot of filler, specifically tracks 2 through 14. But Boom Boom Bap and Robin Hood are amazing songs.

Keep in mind that I am rating this album 4 stars just for those songs. No matter who you are, or where you play them, they'll get a terrific response. Scritti fans, like my sister, will probably enjoy the rest of the CD a lot more than I did.

After all these years Green has done it AGAIN !!!!.......2007-01-26

I can't get this music out of my mind! Greens mesmerising voice and (dare I say) soulful sound have that ability to draw you in and keep you "there".I have been a Scritti fan since the early 80's ,and I feel of all his albums(ok CD's) this is his most open and unselfconsious piece of work.It makes you feel as if he is finally letting it all go ,and to heck with what people think Scritti should be.
I'm so glad that Scritti Politti (Green Gartside)is back and BETTER than ever.I LOVE the old stuff(boy do I),but his new work was well worth the wait.

the Best Pop Album of 2006.......2007-01-09

Make no mistake, this is not your Mother's Scritti Politti. Gone - if not especially missed - are the super-glossy, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink Fairlight arrangements and the frantic, frenetic dance beats of the mid-Eighties. But what remains unchanged is what makes this album so special. Gorgeous, lushly arranged multi-tracked vocals, smart ( but not smarmy ) lyrics and a batch of particularly strong songs all come together to make what is without a doubt the best pop album of the last year. Most of these songs float along on little more than gently strummed acoustic guitar and very deftly programmed, subtle electronic textures. Purposely lo-fi, the spartan instrumentation makes the vocals and lyrics stand out that much more. Several tracks remind me of opening up a jewel box - simple but incredibly melodic keyboard lines married to Green Gartside's ethereal and eternally young, sweet-sounding falsetto. A very few songs here approach anything sounding "modern" - the opening track "The Boom Boom Bap" features impossibly deep bass and a rhythm somewhere between minimalist hip-hop and dub reggae. "After Six" could be a Gorillaz track if they had a better lyricist and knew when to quit. And "Dr. Abernathy" rocks just a *little* bit. Apparently self-produced at home, " White Bread, Black Beer" has very obvious touchstones in the already mentioned Beach Boys ( the vocal harmonies ) and the Beatles ( the lyrics and melodies ). I also hear the dub productions of Lee Perry here, in that there is a real clear, clean space in the mix. Not every available spot on the tape is covered with sound, and what you DON'T hear is as important as what you DO hear. Fans of the "Cupid and Psyche '85" might be shocked, thinking Scritti Politti have taken a step backward by issuing such a low key, minimal sounding album, and "White Bread, Black Beer" does sound much more like their very early, pre-"Cupid..." recordings than anything else. But I think "White Bread" betters that pop masterpiece in every way. It is my favourite album of the last year, and Very Highly Recommended.

If Hooks Could Kill..........2006-12-13

Since discovering this album 3 months ago it is rapidly become one of my all-time favourites. After a couple of listenings the entire album becomes pure bliss, yet I was hooked the first time I heard the opening song.

The instruments and *that* voice sound gorgeous and Green Gartside has not lost his instinct for hitting the right notes and the pressing the right keys and wrap it up with impeccable production. Almost every song gives a rush of pleasure like biting into a piece of Belgian chocolate - and just as sweet. Or for those who adore Renoir's paintings, this may be the aural equivalent - it's lush, relaxed, warm, dreamy, romantic, gorgeous.

To say that some songs of this album - say Locked, Petrococadollar and Snow In Sun - are worth the price of the album would be a trite understatement. These are gems with the magic Scritti Politti touch that one would scour record shops around the country for. A soundscape with nice melodies and harmonies embellished by clever hooks, tempo changes, word plays and intonations is presented. Let us hope Green produces more of this type of music, which brings out his talent to full effect, instead of hip hop which hopefully remains an 'Anomalie'.

The album is laid back yet some songs swing with an infectious rhythm, example "Cooking" and "Robin Hood", and with the latter the album ends on a high - it fits perfectly as an ending track. Perhaps the piece de resistance is in the middle - Petrococadollar which is slow, atmospheric and totally mesmering. How do you follow up a showstopper like that? Answer: with the uptempo "E Eleventh Nuts" which gives instant satisfaction and we move on. The album's flow is excellent.

"WBBB" is an inconspicuous masterpiece so if you chanced upon this review I hope WBBB will become one of your best lucky finds. Definitely give this one a chance!

Note: the Amazon UK site has many more reviews of this album.

Thoughtfully Harmonius.......2006-12-10

Green Gartside has been an enigmatic, intellectual presence on the fringes of popular music since the mid-80s. If one can appreciate great harmonies, well-crafted tunes, and isn't hung-up on hip-hop - well, this is one of the great listens of 2006! This loose subset includes Duncan Sheik, Beachboys, Beatles, Pet Shop Boys, Badly Drawn Boy, Tim Buckley, and Randy Newman. But Gartside has created a unique space; and his evolution is appreciated.
