Format:Audio CD
Manitoba's `Up in Flames' is a bold two fingers to the stale electronica scene and a glorious leap forward. Along with Four Tet's `Rounds' it has rekindled faith in the one-man-and-his-machine dynamic, dragging the laptop boffin kicking and screaming out of the bedroom and into a psychedelic love-in free-for-all (metaphorically, anyway). A veritable one man band, Canadian Dan Snaith has recorded his own Private Psychedelic Reel in a bombastic tour de force of `live' drumming, spools of sax, treated vocal harmonies, wailing guitar solos, sitas and flutes. Asides from the inevitable comparisons and accusations of plagiarism (early Lips and Mercury Rev have been mentioned, as have My Bloody Valentine), you'll hear nothing like it this year, from the kaleidoscopic party animal of `Skunks', to the drowsy hues of `Jacknuggeted', and the David Axelrod-meets-Roni Size of `Twins'. Heartfelt and head-hammering at the same time, it's a raw, eccentric triumph.

One of the best electronic albums.
9 Feb 2008
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This album is a must-have for electronic music fans in my opinion. It's very original sounding for this type of genre and the hooks are fantastic. The best songs include "Kid You'll Move Mountains," and "I've Lived On A Dirt Road All My Life." Recommended for fans of Amon Tobin, Four Tet, Autechture, Boards of Canada and the like.

one of the best
18 Jan 2010
Format:Audio CD
this is one of the best albums out there on the market. along with all the other releases by Caribou.
but this album i enjoy because you can see the transition from Start Breaking My Heart to The Milk of Human Kindness. another album from Caribou where all the songs get stuck in my head and i love to sing along with the cd. its amazing.
the way Dan Snaith uses layers and textures to build his music is so incredible. the vocals on I've Lived on a Dirt Road All My Life is simply so beautiful and amazing sometimes i wonder how he came up with it. love it. love this album. and the videos are awesome

Excelent work by Manitoba/Caribou
11 Feb 2009
Format:Audio CD
There is no doubt that Manitoba/Caribou is one of the most virtuous indie-electronic musicians in North America. This is a good sample of his work, combining and manipulating nice melodies and sounds together with excellent percussions.
