Promise of Love is a real Curate's Egg of an album, and no mistake; About half the tracks have a thrilling dynamism and combine staccato drumming, chugging omnichord guitars and vocal harmonies to often dizzying effect. But the rest have a distinctly filler-esque feel to them. And yet, I've no regrets about buying Amanset's latest, because songs like Hard To Find, Continuous Hit Music and the standout Fool Around take their template and make it into shimmering guitar power-pop of the first order. If the rest had this consistency and poise then this would be an essential purchase.

Very good...
24 Jun 2003
Format:Audio CD
Year by year AAS become less "drone-pop" and more pop! The process had already begun with their previous effort ("know by heart", also an excellent album) and is brought even further on this release, their latest.
Even if the sound retains AAS' trademark elements (for example the breathy vocals everyone familiar with the band we'll recognize...) the album is more varied, drawing at times from rock and even funk!. Don't get me wrong, there are no rock anthems or funky numbers on the album but elements from both genres seep through several tracks.
On the whole I found this album extremely good, arguably the best in their career.

One of those albums that you keep coming back to
1 Sep 2004
Format:Audio CD
Mellow tunes with enough grit and edge to keep you coming back for more. Thinking person's chill music. Especially strong: "Fool Around," "Julie come home," and "Continuous Hit Music."

This CD keeps growing on me...
25 Aug 2003
Format:Audio CD
Everytime I listen to this CD, I like it more. I've heard some comments that this isn't amanset's greatest work! I just recently found out about this band (yes, I live under a rock), so I'm looking forward to buying all the rest of the CD's, if this isn't their "greatest work"! I'm looking forward to getting the other ones and experiencing more of their music!
