5.0 out of 5 stars lovely Jubbly, 12 Mar 2009

By	Big Jim "Big Jim" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Alpinisms (Audio CD)

At the risk of sounding like I haven't listened to this album I am going to stir the pot by saying that this album sounds like a more accessible Sigur Ros, with elements of Joy Division/New Order instrumentation mixed in with the ethereal female vocals.

Mad?

May be.

Lovely music?

Definitely!

4.0 out of 5 stars Just love this!, 21 Nov 2008

By	SP Crowley "stevec" (North London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought it because the guitarist used to be in the woefully underrated Secret Machines but it confounded my expectations entirely. It's a gorgeous prog pop album boasting a wildly eclectic range of rhythms, guitars and aural effects. The voices are beautiful, the lyrics, obscure and the songs meticulously constructed. While it is highly accessible (think Cocteau Twins for the most obvious antecedent) this is complex music that bears repetition. One of the albums of the year and all the better for taking me completely by surprise.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great album from planet Earth, 7 Nov 2008

By	J. P. Oley "Jack Ol�y" (Salt Town, Budleigh. England.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

4.6 stars. Two female vocalists, it sounds great, they compliment each other really well, plenty of excellent and groovy sounds. Stirring stuff, creates images, goes along, tracks 3, 7 and 9 in particular real stone grooves, a wide range of styles; witness Sempiternal/Amaranth at over 11 minutes long. The whole album's very good, very nice. Not a particularly insightful review, I appreciate, but I wanted this band to score well on the old Amazon rating system. If it helps, the beginning of White Elephant Coat sounds like it could be from 1970.0

Sounds like the Cocteau Twins - first track is very interesting but it tails off. Lovely packaging though - quality product.
