5.0 out of 5 stars exciting, enticing and atmospheric, 10 Jan 2006
I've always been a believer that when it comes to music, quality is far more important than genre - and this album is a SUPER-FINE illustration of that point! I harbour no shame in saying that there are tracks on this album from genres that were, beforehand completely alien to me - and that I sadly might not of had the chance to appreciate had it not been for this album!

it's richness and diversity of styles is truly something to behold by any person who considers them self a fan of music, and also makes it an album extremely hard to get tired of hearing!

Gary's unique and clearly varied taste on this album illustrates an in-depth understanding of music very rarely shown on mix albums of this type. Buyers may look forward to a exciting jumble of house, funk, soul, jazz, blues, indie and electro - all very well blended together like a soulful, spritely soup of fine alternative audio!

If you're looking for something different, but in reliably good taste - this is the album for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars really good mix, 20 Nov 2005
By Gven (Dublin) - See all my reviews
I would have bought this album anyway, being a huge fan of Gary Lightbody (who is the Snow Patrol connection so boasted about)but my friend recommended it to me and I came across it eventually in a cd shop by chance.

I got it around a month ago and I've listened to it loads since. It's a strange mix. You wouldn't think the 2 cds were mixed by the same person, other than them both being a good selection of interesting songs.

The first cd is electronic, a genre I'm a bit unsure of at times. but despite my innate suspicion of dance music, I actually really like it. There's just enough crossfading action to segue nicely between different artists and types of electronic songs. It makes me want to dance ludicrously around my bedroom and has become my top choice for listening to before i go out. The upbeat tempo of the first section from low to dark room dubs is my favourite section, with 'staring at the sun' by tv on the radio being a stand out track. oh and it has that song from the lacoste aftershave ad, 'mushaboom' by feist which was a nice surprise.

The second cd is classed by the CDDB as being 'easy listening' which is a bit ridiculous. It's good indie/folk stuff, that's much quieter than the first cd. iain archer makes an appearance which is nice of his ex bandmate Mr. Lightbody. coco rosie were brought to my attention by the lovely 'by your side'. i've since gone and got both their cds and they're pretty good. the shins and rilo kiley are also of particular note. it's good to see 'the republic of loose' included although they appear to have made a mistake with the track listings, the song that appears is not actually 'girl i'm gonna f*** you up' but a different one altogether. it's good nonetheless.

All around a great mix that has introduced me to new bands who I now really like. Good job Gary. You rock.

4.0 out of 5 stars Trip worth taking, 28 Dec 2005
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Grandaddy's done it. So have the Flaming Lips. Not to mention, of course, the Super Furry Animals, Nightmares on Wax, Kid Loco, Zero 7, Rae & Christian, Turin Brakes, and countless other bands that aren't as well-known as they deserve to be.

It's not a new thing to have mix CDs by various popular indie bands, which simultaneously pay tribute to musical influences and personal favorites, and give fans some new bands to pursue. But Scottish indierock band Snow Patrol outdoes itself with the double-disc mix "The Trip," which has a staggering number of little-known bands.

Their latest album "Final Straw" often echoes with T.Rex, Coldplay, My Bloody Valentine and Idlewild, but none of those bands are found on this magnificent mix album. There are some indie staples, however, such as the Beastie Boys, TV on the Radio, the Shins, and Rilo Kiley. No problem -- these guys have good taste.

But there are also an abundance of bands that few have heard of: the offbeat lo-fi Cocorosie, the soft folky Iain Archer, the sparkly pop of Mum, the languid indierock of Joy Zipper, the funky Sir Drew, smooth Seelenluft, fuzz'n'blips of Hot Chip, and even some rarities like Feist's sultrily catchy indierock (which is currently only available as an import).

Whatever you think of the Scottish band's actual music -- which I happen to adore -- it's clear that Snow Patrol has excellent musical taste. Not every choice is ideal, I must admit: Secret Machines' drawling "Road Leads Where It's Led" was one of the few songs that failed to tickle my fancy.

In general, however, their musical taste is essentially impeccable. These guys run the musical gamut from electronica to Icelandic pop to hip-hop to gritty indie rock'n'roll. It's marvelously eclectic, and certainly speaks well of what these guys listen to in their cars. Except for perhaps the Shins and TV on the Radio, not a single song is "obvious."

"The Trip" has a threefold effect: It pays tribute to some underrated bands that helped shape Snow Patrol, it introduces the band's fans to those same underrated bands... and it's a marvelous listen. Definitely worth getting.
