Customer Reviews:

An album you must hear........2006-11-10

It is a very special music above the average of other electronic proposals.. When I discovered that Mark Bell was involved in Bjork's sound, I decided to hear some of his music, and it was a worthwhile desicion. It presents a very nice programming of the analog synthesizers. There is a "quasi academic" tendency in the development of his themes, and he uses timbre as a leading element in the discourse

Energizing.......2004-07-11

The Sheath album is such a crisp clean modern sounding collection. My favorite title is Freak which sounds like something you can dance your ass off in a techno club. And a few others of the songs are very mystical sounding. I recommend this album.

A disappointing comeback.......2004-04-21

LFO's "Advance" was one of the classic mid-nineties dance albums, with its crisp, almost militaristic beats and moonrise-on-Mars atmosphere. This album, seven years later, is a bit of a letdown, with much less of a distinctive identity. It reminded me more of Orbital at their most techno than of previous LFO releases... but much, much less interesting than Orbital. Oh well.

LFO has an accident.......2004-04-09

SHEATH became everything that I expected the album's music not to be: lethargic, and filled with goofy/cutsey sounds that are more embarrasing than intriguing. There are hardly any glimpses of the pioneering work LFO has done as one of the earliest signings to the Warp Records roster nearly 15 years ago.

There were only two bright spots for me on this album. One was the album opener "Blown", which layers synths and muted, distant percussion to form a genuinely beautiful melody. The other was "Snot" which has great maniacal percussion backed by SHEATH's strongest hook.

The remainder of the music ranges from mediocre to completely terrible. The worse offenders being "Monkeylips", "Sleepy Chicken" and "Mummy, I've Had an Accident". The single from this album, "Freak", dosen't quite shake the dancefloor as it's opening robot-vocal sample would entice you to believe. (Consider the "Freak" CD single, as it has two decent non-album tracks which fare better as dance music than most material here).

Final Rating: 1.5 stars

The brains behind Bjork.......2004-01-24

I'm am a music enthusiast. LFO has to be regonized for their groundbreaking first album's contributions to the electronic music genre, and for their brilliant production techniques for likes of Bjork. Although their work is released on the primarily IDM (intelligent dance music) label Warp Recordings, it should be noted that this is much more listenable cd for the masses then works by the other major artists on the label (aphex twin, plaid, autechre, and squarepusher). "There's something for everyone" ; so to speak, some hard hitters, some good cruis'N tunes, one or 2 club bangers, and several tracks to chill out with. Alot of energy on this album, but only gets 4 out of 5, cause theirs not anything as unforgetable as Simon from Sidney.

Product Description

The music is rich in color, rhythm and styleÂ…it runs the gamut from Â“on-the-edge-LatinoÂ” to Â“calienteÂ” and quietly percussive! We are treated to collaborative latino visions of music that stir oneÂ’s soul, excites our bodies and enhances our sense of rhythm. Clem EhoffÂ’s group melds jazz improvisation in a harmonically sophisticated manner driven by a pulsating latin grooveÂ…a veritable paella of sound and rhythm. Graphic images of the Caribbean washing on American shores explode on every music staff. Are you ready for all of this excitement? ClemÂ’s playing conjures up moments of every great pianist, but is not like any previous keyboard player. He plays with his own voice. This is a great collection of music. Somewhere, somehow, it reaches a place in oneÂ’s being that says, Â“allÂ’s right with the world and the music is Â“to loveÂ”Â…this cookinÂ’ ensemble knows itself. There is an undertow of Â“latintensityÂ”, which draws one down to its core immersing listeners in its pulsating surge. The music generates a quiet intensity which can propel one to undulate in sync with that propulsion. Gail Marten not only sings lyrics which tell a story, but recites a vivid prose which demonstrates that she has a hip awareness of life Â– delivered with a voice of sweetness and verve. Gail creates a rhapsodic reverieÂ…an aesthetic which must be pleasing to most tuned-in listenersÂ…(who) become aware that they are in the presence of a sensitive vocalist, whose instrumental voice also conveys deep messages about life. Gail has a particularly sensuous voice. She not only stirs passion, but she generates reflective thought. Delicious, as the melding of passion and intellect often isÂ…the girl next door dressed in a black sheath! The rhythmic surge of Alfonso Rondon and Marty Knepp lets the listener know that there is no untamed spirit in this percussive melange. It is scintillating, bubbling and brilliant.
