Let Sarah Make It Better.......2002-01-31

After meeting Sarah Blackwood in a London pub recently, I can safely say that it was make or break time for the Dubstar crew based on the success of this album. Why then did they not stay together? From the first powerful pop/ rock guitar riffs of "Take It" to the final breathy vocals of "Swansong" it is hard to imagine that past fans have passed this third album by. Songs like "Self Same Thing" and the truly blissful "Another Word" become the strongest ballads of the bands career, whereas the deliciously funky "Believe in Me" and the northern attitude that accompanies gems like "Stay" and "Take it" load the Dubstar engine with the fuel to drive this into an energtic and poetic masterpiece. Okay, so its not as twinkly and innocent as "Disgraceful" or as playful as "Goodbye", but when have Dubstar ever stuck to a strict formula or failed to produce original work? The outstanding "I (Friday Night)" is proof that this is as good as mature pop gets, and listening to it as background music is robbing it of its credibility.

FABULOUS 2000 POP ALBUM........2001-10-25

This is an awfully overlooked album even if I think it's formidable pop. I think it is one of the very few late pop efforts which achieves being fashioned while being elegant and still having a very eighties feeling. I would dare to say this was definetely released at the peak of Dubstar's work. Sarah's voice is spectacular all over and the production is very much in detail while remaining very modern, straight, vivid and youthful: "Take it", "Rise to the top", or the very impressive "I'm conscious of myself" are good examples of this. Any of these could have
been a huge single if they had ever been played, but to be frank I never even got to see the music clips (had to buy them) even if I use to watch hours of after midnight MTV every week.
Make it better sounds fresh, it has "something" in common with best Pet Shop Boys in parts which could be due to the way both bands craft their tunes (lyrics and musically too) and the sort of audience they aim at (eighties lovers, techno-pop fans, female/gay/eccentric male UK indie pop fans, gay people, ...), some ABBA (Arc of fire), even some Cocteau twins type of ethereal stuff as in "Stay" or the Enya-esque sort of production in the very last track Swansong. But don't get misled, this is pure Dubstar most of the time; for the very first time this CD is totally consistent and varied all the way through; I always thought the two previous albums are not that good at all though there are pop gems therein (Dubstar fans know EPs contain some of their greatest stuff).
The EP for Self same thing is also one of the most amazing CDs last year, not only for the tacky melodious single but for the two duets there (with Gary Numan and Ian Broodie of the
Lighting seeds). They produce very moody tracks about loosing someone or dumping somebody in a relationship. If you like well crafted melodious and shophisticated pop music you'll surely love both the CD and this EP.

Thanks Dubstar for these fabulous stuff.

Sublime perfection.......2001-01-05

Dubstar's 3rd(and final) album:

I could go on about how incredible this CD is. Mysuggestion, check out the realaudio snippets [of]Rise to the Top (a my sharon-meets-we will rock you ROCKINANTHEM), Self Same Thing (a mountainous melodious masterpiece aboutcommunicating with your loved one), Take It (a mad breakbeatrocker)...

Dubstar is a late 90s, female-voiced version of TheSmiths, by way of St Etienne, and infused with a smidge of slick popproduction.

They recently broke up, so get their trilogy ofmasterpieces (Disgraceful, Goodbye (the complete UK version), and MakeIt Better). END

A mellow melody of meaningful words.......2000-09-06

The group has a great way of mixing melodic music with harmonic voices while keeping lyrics simple. I recommend this cd to the listener who wants to enjoy tunes and really appreciates good lyrics.

make it better---john kee.......1999-12-29

I believe that John Kee is a genius, but has let down his listeners on his past few albums. He should vere off to a bit more traditional or more to contemporary, but none the less---the music all sounds the same usually from album to album. He should allow his musicians to write or get some help in from Fred, Donald, or Kirk.

Impressed.......1999-12-29

I am impressed with this album, however, Let's Make It Better has a different flavor. Mr. Kee really changed his style on this cut. The featured soloist is excellent. I would like to hear more from this young lady.

INNER CITY IS THE BOMB.......1999-12-09

JOHN HAS DONE A GOOD JOB ON THIS ALBUM. THIS ALBUM HAS GOOD ANOITED SONGS. HE HAS THE TRADITIONAL AND CONTEMPORY WITH A TWIST OF HIS OWN FLAVA ON THIS ALBUM.

Not John's Best work!.......1999-11-04

I was very disappointed with this project. Min. Kee appears to be filling a quota with this CD.

This is an anointed project!!!!.......1999-10-07

This is definitely an anointed project!!! Pastor Kee has pulled some voices from Heaven! One in particular, Elder Rodney Raines. As I listened to the project, I felt as if I was in church!! This project is a must buy!

Product Description

Despite the diversity of styles, a common thread runs through all of Lynns songs: every one of them has an uncanny knack for uplifting the environment. Winnie´s Guitar, more than anything, is a good excuse to lighten up and feel better about ourselves and the world. This, for example, from the features writer of a local women´s journal: "Swimming with dolphins must feel something akin to experiencing the emotional dimension of Lynn Patrick´s music." Yet another reviewer called the album "a project of joyous whimsy, as uplifting and happy as star gazing." That´s because Lynn´s music unpretentiously but unmistakably conveys a sense of soaring freedom -- that sensation in the region of your heart that reminds you of being a child and swinging really, really high, until the chains slackened and you knew you could fly. Winnies Guitar includes ten songs, featuring Lynn on guitar and lead guitar. Joe Scott, lead guitarist for Wind Machine, joins her on three tracks. The E-Town Band´s Chris Engleman plays bass on eight songs, and Lila Sklar, a terrifically talented violinist, adds melodic dimension to track one, "California Zephyr." Gordon Burt, who plays with Denver´s Runaway Express, adds the finishing touches with a lovely mandolin part on "Rosewood" and some tuneful fiddling on "Pickin´A." Original cover art is by nationally acclaimed artist Laura Marshall (Ursula LeGuin´s book illustrator of choice.)

Fun music.......2007-01-05

I heard a clip from this album on NPR, checked it out online and ordered it. It's fun, upbeat guitar music. It's good for listening in the car when you don't want too much noise or distraction, and it's peppy enough to keep you interested. Glad I ordered it.

An Undiscovered Gem.......2006-12-30

I first heard Lynn Patrick on an NPR bumper. The short segment was so good, I looked her up here and ordered both of her CD's. If you like nice accoustic guitar in a sort of new age grove, this CD will be a great addition to your collection.

If you like the Beatles, Beach Boys, Sloan, Carpenters, Matthew Sweet, Paul McCartney, Mike O'Neill or similar artists, then you will like this CD by the Heavy Blinkers. It consists of pop songs which are beautifully arranged and orchestrated.

Great album!.......2002-05-17

Left Banke meets FRIENDS-era Beach Boys. Highly recommended.

plenty of slow jam remixes...plus the MORALES mix of Mistletoe Jam!.......2005-12-24

ironically, this CD single doesn't have the original mix of "I Can Make it Better". But all four remixes are slow jams--sort of indistinguishable after a while, and one is just a longer version of the other (Charles Roane mix) and the soulshock mix is only available as an "edit" (so where's the long mix?). "A Kiss for Christmas" is from Luther's Christmas CD, but the big bonus is the full David Morales house mix of "Mistletoe Jam."
