5.0 out of 5 stars Into the 90s 23 April 2013
By Richard
Format:Audio CD
I thought I'd reviewed this CD which I got about 8 years ago after discovering Virginia Astley was on it.She only played flute on a short piece but the other girl singers take this one into another dimension.The Girl With The Fairytale Dream is a standout and was issued as a CD single.
The brains behind Locust is one Mark Van Hoen who at one time was in a band called Seefeel but this isn't a band its a studio only creation.And in an attempt to milk even more out of this CD came one with a Hidden Track!
The 90s was a decade when we kept hearing about trip hop and I suppose this is what it is

3.0 out of 5 stars Almost swarming... 20 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I'm really surprised this band have not received more recognition; this album certainly deserves it. Locust combine a downtempo laid back style of trippy beats and evocative drifting vocals with melodies that get stuck in your head and demand repeated listening. 'All Your Own Way' is by far the stand out track - really superb - and none of the others come close to repeating its quality. 'No-one In The World' and 'Girl With The Fairy Tale Dream' are suitably haunting and dreamlike and 'Summer Rain' captures exactly what it says in the title, but they lack the energy to balance the first track . All together, it's a good album, with one outstanding moment, pleasant to listen to but more than anything I think it demonstrates that this band could do really good stuff if they would just turn the voltage up a bit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite electronica-pop 5 April 1999
By Michael Paulsen - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
What a pleasant surprise this CD is...a far cry from the earlier Locust releases which were dark, dissonant trance-techno that were entirely instrumental. Mark van Hoen's project has evolved into a thing of beauty -- now graced with orchestral flourishes and the lush vocals of Annie Williams. Locust's new sound is like a hybrid of Massive Attack and Mono/Hooverphonic. "All in Your Own Way" could easily be a hit single in electronica circles. On an interesting note, one of the greatest trance ambient songs of the 90's, in my opinion, was W.F.O.'s "No-One in the World" (which appears on the Astralwerks' compilation "Excursions in Ambience Vol. 2"...highly recommended!) -- which samples the vocals of Karen Carpenter from "Hurting Each Other" -- and this one-off project was none other than Mark van Hoen! Again, a new version of this song appears on this album, now sounding gentler with trumpets. All in all, an excellent, uplifting album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original, inspired, and worth experiencing 8 Feb 2001
By Kent David Kelly - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
As far as undiscovered music acts go, Locust tops my list for the year 2000. I added over 300 CDs to my collection last year, and although there are some CDs I appreciated even more than this one, this is by far the best one that came from out of nowhere, with no trusted recommendation to bind it to me. I bought it on instinct. Good thing!

Locust is a bit difficult to describe - vocals and instrumentation, think Portishead; arrangements, perhaps Hooverphonic; wistful lyrics, perhaps Kate Bush. But they're not a disjointed composite - they have a distinct, unique sound all their own that is quirky, difficult to get acquainted with, and ultimately truly satisfying. They also take some surprising twists, and make them their own - some of their divergent paths include tributes to early 90s shoegazing music (Lush, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, etc.), ethereal bliss (Bel Canto, Opus III), and more.

All I can say is - get this! If you're willing to be adventurous, you'll come away with a rewarding experience that will expand your taste in unusual music. It's a truly impressive piece of work, which I recommend to anyone who likes trip-hop, ethereal, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Cut Above... 26 July 2005
By M. Conklin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
most of mark van hoen's material under the locust alias has been instrumental ambient music. morning light is still ambient music, but it's also a vocal album. more surprisingly, it's a pop album. it's not radio pop, but thinking saint etienne without the happy, retro slant wouldn't be a stretch. it's got a dark, modern sound to it. thankfully, locust has avoided any hint of the stale sounds of trip-hop that plague every other vocal release anymore. instead a synth-based ambient backdrop and drum loops have been laid down and covered with flute, acoustic guitar, bass, trumpet, organ, bells, etc. the vocalists (both male and female)casually add to the ambiance, usually whispering more than singing. at times the music is rooted in acoustic folk or new age, other times it's electronic drum and bass. not all of the songs work well, especially the simple folk tunes, but at least they are never loud or pushy. it's a very quiet album with dreamy, laid back sensibilities.
