Reviews of Music, Movies, Anime & More

This is some of the most relaxing music I own, and by far one of the best ambient albums I own.

Nothing’s small in GYBE!‘s music.

This is true pre-millenial tension, folks.

I’m somewhat torn on this release.

The best way to sum up The White Songbook is as a consummation.

While still a magnificent feast for the ears, every song on The Tick Tock Treasury reminds me of past Joy Electric albums.

Ronnie’s made a gutsy move on this one, pushing on with his own musical vision and remaining steadfast to his spiritual beliefs.

At the risk of sounding cheesy, Joy Electric’s music brings back a sort of wistfulness for more innocent, carefree days.

I would strongly recommend it to anyone who likes techno-dance-computer-music-video-game soundtrack-sounding music.

There’s a rawness and unsteadiness to Bloc Party’s sound which is both their saving grace and greatest shortcoming.

Those expecting a full-on return to the massive, glacial soundscapes of Aarktica’s first album, No Solace In Sleep, might be somewhat disappointed.

Stellarscope do a fine, fine job of blending the atmospherics inherent to the genre with a nice pop sensibility.

What we have here is merely a taste, and I, for one, am left wanting much more.

Nausicaä Of The Valley Of The Wind is worth watching if only to give one a much better context in which to appreciate Miyazaki’s movies.

K.C. Accidental perfectly straddles the line between Do Make Say Think and Broken Social Scene.

There’s hardly a minute on the disc that isn’t awash with blackened waves of drone and drift, eerie scrapings and ringings, and whatnot.

Forgettable, obviously churned out to fill a niche, and reeking of assembly line workmanship.

This is a perfectly crafted CD, both in packaging and in craft.

K-Os, in a gentle, nasal flow of intelligent lyrics, reminds his listeners of the true roots of hip-hop.

The album often lacks focus, resulting in a disc that is just as spotty and uneven as its predecessor.
