Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This is a great, wide-ranging double mix CD of indie pop, rock, electronic and hip-hop. Typically, great musicians have great musical taste, and most fans would like nothing better than to hang out with their favorite musicians just listening to music. That’s generally not an option, or one that if pursued will lead to a restraining order. Artist-curated mixes are the next best thing then, from downtempo affairs such as the "Another Late Night" and "Back To Mine" series to a point of purchase discs sold in coffee shops. Scottish group Snow Patrol’s star is on the rise and rightly so – their brand of breathy, dramatic indie-rock trumps nearly anyone else doing the same thing. Many of the artists on The Trip are bound to be unfamiliar, even to crate-digging daily Pitchfork readers: Emperor Machine, Sir Drew, The Knife, Seelenluft, Feist, Dear Huth, Harco Pront. It’s moody and experimental but it’s accessible too. What they all share is as much of a love for melody as for invention. --Mike McGonigal --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Product Description

Taking you through the musical journey of their lives, previous The Trip albums created by Dirty Vegas, Tom Middleton, Tim ‘Love’ Lee and most recently Saint Etienne have delighted music fans everywhere. Picking an eclectic selection of music, from tracks they love, tracks that have influenced them and gems that they found over the years, the result has met with critical acclaim each time – The Trip by Snow Patrol does that and more. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

One can never accuse the Chemical Brothers of consistency. We Are the Night continues their eclectic electronica approach even though the big-beat groove of the title track remains their digital calling card. Spotted with a minimalist keyboard pattern, vocal non sequiturs, and sampled sound effects, the infectious groove of "We Are the Night" eventually evolves into the monotone-chanted dance chorus of "We are the night skies/We are the bright lies," recalling Brian Eno circa Here Come the Warm Jets. However, for every catchy electro-dance, there's a tune that leaves you scratching your head. What to make of the novelty song "The Salmon Dance" is anybody's guess, though you might find some illumination in a salmon recipe on their Web site. With fractured nursery-rhyme lyrics that are sung like an off-color Sesame Street rap, it will drive you up the wall--or at least toward the skip button. Then there's Midlake singing the trancey ballad "The Pills Won't Help You Now," making the Chemical Brothers sound like a sci-fi version of Coldplay. Retro-analog synthesizers dominate, with the electro-grooves of "Das Spiegel," "Burst Generator," and "Saturate," which builds on a Kraftwerk-forged metal framework coupled with storming sampled drums. The circuits of '70s techno-pop artist the Normal are re-soldered on "Do It Again." With Ali Love singing the title-track chorus, it's built to be a summertime anthem akin to Tag Team's "Whoomp! (There It Is)," albeit robotically chilled. --John Diliberto

Another Solid Album.......2007-07-23

Well, what could i really say? The Chemical Brothers never cease to amaze me. The duo always seem to be going down different avenues with their music. They're extremely innovating. I wont waste your time, there are plenty of reviews to read. If you like Push The Button, then you'll probably like this album.
Also, i happen to enjoy that groovy tune The Salmon Dance. I read a couple of the other reviews and i dont understand whats so bad about this song. Dont bash it just because it doesn't sound like their previous work.
Im not sure how anyone could possibly call their music redundant. Their beats are constantly changing, and thats more than i can say for the rest of the techno genre.
I recommend this album, but the only way you'll know is if you hear it yourself. Hope you enjoy

Defending The Salmon Dance.......2007-07-23

To all the reviewers bashing The Salmon Dance: If you're gonna take techno 100% seriously, don't listen to TCB please. It's probably one of the most solid tracks on this album. My friends and I, after playing the whole record, remembered the salmon dance the most afterwards. It's danceable, it's humorous, and it's fun.

Which is what techno/hip hop is supposed to be in the first place.

That being said, this was a great release from the chemicals. I'd call it a sequel to Surrender more or less (especially the title track).

Best Tracks: Saturate, Do it Again, The Salmon Dance.

The Pills Won't Help You Now.......2007-07-23

This album is not the duo's best effort. They had a lot of keyboards, samples and vocals on this record which would leave you scratching your head. They have too many collaborations on this album which are not that great. "Do It Again" is a great track with Ali Love which had charted in the UK top 20. From "Saturate" through "A Modern Midnight Converstation" are stand outs. Everything else on this record doesn't stand out very well. The iTunes only bonus track, "Seal" is great and should have been on the album. These following B-sides, "Clip Kiss" and "No Need" also are great and should have been the album. The remixes for "Do It Again" are better than the album version. In my honest opinion, this album is alright and it could have been a tad bit better.

Do It Again........2007-07-20

This isn't the completely the Chemical Brothers I know. However, I've never owned an album by them before so what did I know? I knew them from their singles, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I had heard "Do It Again" on the radio and fell in love with it. It's a really good - and especially catchy single. So I bought the Album with pretty high expectations.

And the first part of it doesn't let down. It opens up with a blast. The title song is a repetitive electronic mix, one that I wouldn't be ashamed to dance to, nor listen to. The next song features the Klaxons - a band I have heard of, but never really listened to - and it is once again is a magnificently poppy song, infused with an electric, chanting chorus. The next song, "Saturate" - is more of the same, this time leaving behind the mythical, outworldly chanting, replacing it with high pitched 'bleeps'. It's a more classical electric sound. This pattern of extraterrastial sounds and chanting is repeated throughout the album, creating a mystical feeling - one that is often associated with the night. The Album cover does nothing to dissuade one from assuming that this is the soundtrack of a slightly eerie fairy tale which takes place inside of the mind of the Chemical Brothers.

The one track that stands out - as a track that is completely different from the rest of the album - is the "Salmon Dance". An electric version of what a School House Rock film on salmons would have sounded like. It feels a bit like they were kidding around with this.

Overall I was really satisfied with the album, and I felt it was a great - if a bit surprising - introduction to the Chemical Brothers on record. I'm definitly looking into adding more of their albums to my collection.

JUST ENOUGH GOOD COLLABORATIONS TO MAKE IT DECENT (3.4 stars).......2007-07-20

On their 6th studio album (not counting the singles release), The Chems rope in another roster of interesting guests and with their help, they nudge We Are the Night into a slightly "above average" electronic record. But just slightly. The lead single (Do It Again) which was, in my opinion, very premature to the album's street date, did little to peak interest (here in the states) in We Are the Night. Most critics and fans, including yours truely, found it good but very so-so, and gave it likewise reviews. Upon hearing the rest of the album, it's clear why Do It Again was the lead single... it's simply one of the better songs found on We Are the Night.

The collaborations are king here. The interesting guests they roped in, deliver some of the better tracks on We Are the Night, they also represent some of the worst as well. The best of which has to be the chaotic pounding beat of All Rights Reversed, it features the uber-talented Klaxons and their brand of indie rave-rock. This amazing tune will definitely go down as one of the better things the Chems have ever put out, and this is mostly because of the Klaxons imput. I rank it right there with Setting Sun (featuring Noel Gallagher) and Out of Control (featuring Bernard Summer) expect a single in the near future. Another zinger is the albums closer, a chilled out stunner titled, The Pills Won't Help You Now. It features Tim Smith from Midlake (another great band) and reminds me of other more shoegaze fare (Mercury Rev and Beth Orton collaborations) of past albums. Now once we've moved past the Klaxons and Midlake contributions is were the record gets kinda dicey. The song The Salmon Dance, could be the worst thing they've done. Featuring a terribly childish rap from Fatlip, it's a song better suited for an r-rated kids show than a Chemical Brothers record. The song is so bad you will jumping to press the skip button for sure. If you make past that, then you are left with some very mediocre songs inbetwen the collaborations. Saturate (track 4) ends up being pretty darn good set up for Do It Again, while Das Spiegel sounds like a spacey Orbital copy (Middle of Nowhere era), Harpoons is a boring filler track, and Burst Generator fails to burst into anything that exciting.

In the end, We Are the Night is a very spotty record. An ep containing All Rights Reversed, Saturate, Do It Again, and The Pills... would have made an all around better release. As long as Tom and Ed continue to keep their friends in the studio, we can look forward to some nice joint ventures under the Chemicals moniker in the years to come. We Are the Night has just enough good collaborations make it decent, but its a far cry from the Block Rockin Beats of years past.

Björk's main asset as a musician is her fearlessness. Since the end of The Sugarcubes and the pop-dance of Debut, she has released progressively more experimental records. But after well over a decade of going further and further out, Volta steps back. Make no mistake; this is Björk, and so it's still fabulously weird. Like 2004's mesmerizing Medúlla and the 2005 soundtrack for Drawing Restraint 9, the songs are blissfully peculiar, with narratives about love, offspring, aliens...you name it. Yet melodically and philosophically, Volta recycles more than it innovates; the driving pulse of "Declare Independence," for instance, reminds us of Homogenic's "Pluto," and the lead single "Earth Intruders" sounds like Post's "Army of Me" on steroids. And just as Medúlla oriented itself around a certain instrument--the human voice--this one concentrates on horns.

Still, the transition between her early work and the avant-garde bender she's been on since Vespertine is pretty harrowing, and it's satisfying to hear Björk revisit her more accessible self. Uber-producer Timbaland pitches in here and there, most successfully on "Innocence," which uses a fat, disjointed pulse to drive the euphoric vocals forward. Elsewhere, the hyperactive sitar sample on "I See Who You Are" provides texture for the song's theme of enjoying each other while there's still "flesh on our bones." And "Pneumonia" makes fantastic use of the horn section with a soft arrangement that compliments the song's lyrical melody.

So while it's a bit of a stall, Volta is a lovely pause. It reminds us how much we appreciate the laboratory of Björk's imagination, but also how much we missed her back when she was just goofing around. -Matthew Cooke

Album Description

Bjork returns to her iconic, innovative and rhythmic roots with Volta. Featuring her own infamous beats and collaborations with Timbaland, Antony Hegarty, Brian Chippendale and an all-female Icelandic brass section, the end result is an explosion of beats and an amalgamtion of sound and visuals that give Volta a life of its own, like the world hasn't seen from Bjork in years.

Customer Reviews:

A fun album--.......2007-07-21

This is not Bjork's best stand-alone album, but fits well into the evolution of her music that has spanned the last decade. Some songs seem improvised, using melodies and vocal techniques from previous albums, and fall short of the usual level of innovation Bjork seems to strive for. However, there are very beautiful moments ("Dull Flame of Desire," "I See Who You Are") as well as high energy tracks ("Declare Independence," "Innocence," "Earth Intruders") that make the album more dynamic and satisfying with each listen. There's not a lot of "new" Bjork sound here, but the old has been recycled into a refreshing ensemble of danceable beats and moving melodies.

Bjork goes back to her roots.......2007-07-21

I was close to giving up on BJork. I was a die-hard fan of her work until Vespertine but Medulla and her latest movie soundtrack just turned off my interest: they were both TOO experimental for what I was willing to put up with -they almost became a musical torture of sorts.

Enter "Volta" in 2007. Though Bjork is still considered a wacko by many (not that she's a typical artist by any stretch of the mind, but...) in this album, in spite of a handful of musical "departures", for the most part she goes back to her roots. There's a lot of material in here reminiscent of her sound back from Debut, Post and Homogenic times.

While my favorite song is "Wanderlust" without a doubt, with upbeat tracks ("Earth Intruders") and quiet tracks ("Pneumonia" and "My Juvenile") across the album, for the first time in a while, consciously or not, Bjork doesn't seem to want to leave anybody out. For the first time in a while, I feel like listening to her music... again.

fearless original.......2007-07-19

Fearlessly following her own muse, Bjork creates an interesting album full of full throated singing, funky beats and noise, and interesting textures. While I don't like a couple of tunes (Dull Flame of Desire and Declare Independence), the rest of the album is engaging and evocative and works well as an album, linked by noises, segues, brass sounds, and beats. Her best album in a few years. Four/Four-and-a-half stars.

Confused?.......2007-07-18

It's not that I'm literally confused by the songs on this album. Rather, I am a bit confused with Bjorks decision to put out this album. Nothing this artist would produce could ever be bad, it's just not as good/creative as some of her other albums in the past. Bjork is one of my favorite artists - this album is not one of my favorite Bjork albums. It lacks the feeling and intensity of some of her past work for me. The artwork, though, is beautiful.

Stunning.......2007-07-16

This is wonderful, wonderful stuff. I had found Bjork altogether too quirky (and squeaky) for my tastes. Give me laid back grooves, French DJ stuff, post-punk (JD, Bloc, Interpol), the occasional blast of RnR, some pic 'n mix of other odds and ends and I'm a happy chappie. But I read all these 4 and 5 star reviews and bought it.

Am I glad I did that? Oh yeah. As many have noted, this builds on you over a number of listens. My pure listening time is in my car commuting. So I stuck the CD in and played it 3 or 4 times through, only extracting it a couple of days ago. Wow!

The overall sound structure of this CD is heavily layered and haunting. Take track 3 as an example, 20/30 words of lyrics, repeated and repeated, but the whole is a wonderful, moving sonic masterpiece, almost Gorecki in the way it swells and shifts. And there's more ... but let the analytical reviewers tell you about the track structure. All I want to say is ... buy this, play it right though at least 3 times, fall in love with it.

Some bands like to thwart expectations, and Air is one of them. "Spacemaker," the opening of Pocket Symphony, sounds like a cousin to their instrumental retro-lounge "La Femme D'Argent" from 1998's Moon Safari, right down to the electric bass break in the middle. But this isn't a return to their breakthrough sound. "Spacemaker" really does pave the way for an almost classically somnolent outing from the French duo. Air once proclaimed, "In any classical song you can take five seconds of it and make a loop and you make a great pop song with it." I think they took that to heart on an album that echoes Debussy, Bach, and Reich, but which also contains a Beatlesque eclecticism redolent of Revolver. But instead of the Beatles' Indian flourishes, Air look to Japan, using a plucked koto on a couple of tracks, but also a zen garden sense of sonic placement. Although Jarvis Cocker from Pulp and Neil Hannon of Divine Comedy sing on a couple of tunes--adding some emotional gravitas--Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel do most of the vocalizing in their preternatural Munchkins-on-Quaaludes lisp. Air are known for their chilled melancholy, but the mood of Pocket Symphony is introspectively somber. Only "Mer du Japon" rises to a groove, while the rest recline in a luxurious torpor. That mood works especially well on instrumentals like the minimalist cycles of "Night Sight" and the Enoesque "Lost Message," with its circular piano line and ice-sheathed string synthesizers. Pocket Symphony won't yield any pop hits, but it could be the soundtrack to endless rainy afternoons. --John Diliberto

Album Description

From the creators of the classic albums "Moon Safari" and "Talkie Walkie", Air deliver a career masterpiece, their most seductive and accomplished work to date.

Features guest vocals by Jarvis Cocker and Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy).

Includes the single "Once Upon A Time".

The copy protections are stifling. The computer can't recognize the cd so that makes it harder to put it on my treo. I gave 1 star for the 1 song worth listening to. I WILL NOT buy another Pocket Symphony CD.

Air is God........2007-06-19

...or, at least, Air is Music. Since their endlessly beautiful Moon Safari, Air (along with Zero 7) is the group that produces CDs one can purchase without needing a preview; you can also count on their absolute genius. I bought this CD blindly. And as I suspected, it paid for itself with frissions up the spine from its mere perfection and unrelentling beauty. Even if you don't like the majority of the tracks (although this should only happen if you hate music), than one could buy this CD for Mer du Japon: Best. Song. Ever. Air epitomises their talent in this one track. Can you say "obsessed"? I can't stop listening to it. I must admit it does have some run-away tracks I'm not a fan of, but on the whole they don't hinder the CD's overall genius. Pure, absolute genius. The CD is rife with genius. No doubt.

Sit back and enjoy... (not for anyone in a hurry).......2007-06-05

Ever since Air's instant-classic debut album, 1998's "Moon Safari", the French duo has sought to try and follow up to and meet that high standard. Their output since then has divided the fan base. I, for one, absolutely love the often-maligned 2001's "10,000 Hz Legend" album, but was disappointed with 2004's "Talkie Walkie" album. Now comes the new album.

"Pocket Symphony" (12 tracks, 48 min.) is as atmospheric as Air will get while not making a movie soundtrack. The instrumental opener "Space Maker" sets the stage. First single (in the UK--can you imagine Air getting a single released in the US?) "Once Upon a Time" is a beautiful dreamscape. Jarvis Cocker is the vocalist on "One Hell of a Party", which reminds me almost of cabaret-style music. Another instrumental "Mayfair Song" flowes into "Left Bank", bringing the duo back home. "Mer du Japon" ironically enough does not feature some of the Japanese sounds found on several other tracks here (such as the beautiful "Somewhere between Waking and Sleeping" and "Redhead Girl"), and in fact I find this song to be somehwat out of whack with the rest of the album. The instrumental closer "Night Shift" is the perfect ending to this album.

Is this album as good as "Moon Safari"? No, but Air may never be that good again, who knows. That said, "Pocket Symphony" is a fine album, which I have been enjoying ever since its release a few months ago. I happen to catch Air at Coachella in late April, and due to technical difficulties they only put on a brief set, which was very disappointing. I'd love to see them again in concert in better circumstances.

Record Label Ruins Product.......2007-05-25

I bought this CD took it home and put it in my computer to dump it to my iPod and was surprised to find out my PC didn't even see the disk. I tried it on other computers in the house and it wouldn't see it at all. I immediately returned the disk and got a refund. The copy protections on this disk make it impossible to use the music the way I want to in my own home. I believe this is the record label messing with an artist's work. I love Air, but I hate this miserable attempt to control my access to the music.

Pleasant enough.......2007-07-05

There is a reason that one of these selections is the catchy tune on one of the caveman commercials. It's "elevator" music or more exactly airport music, that innocuous background music that many people seem to hate. Generally it's a very pleasant CD of listenable background music. This isn't a masterpiece of edgy electronica; it's fine for playing while you are doing something else and it doesn't demand your whole attention. It was especially fun to hear the entire song from the Geico commercial, which is the reason I, and I suspect many others, bought this.

Geico Commercial.......2007-05-29

When I heard the song used on the Geico commercial (the airport scene), the song Remind Me was used. I diligently looked for this song and found it. I was very pleased that the entire album is was good. This was a great purchase for me, not only did I get the song I liked but the rest of the Album was great as well. I highly recommend this CD.

The Caveman Song.......2007-05-19

I couldn't get the song out of my head from the Gieco commercial. I actually thought the song was made up for the commerical, just a few lines. What a nice surprise when I found this album. I rarely listen to music anymore, this I listen to endlessly. In the old days, this type of easy listening music was called "elevator music," (do they play music in elevators anymore?). Takes the edge off driving, being stuck in traffic. Kind of music you don't have to pay attention to, mellow, buts you a good mood. To me, yeah it is a "keeper," worth the money. The other songs are good, ok, I mean I don't pay attention to the lyrics, really don't know what they're saying, will have look them up one day, but it doesn't really matter. Chow

Royksoop Melody AM.......2007-05-18

Lets face it I bought this because of the Geico commercial. They play a snatch of the tune Remind Me when the Caveman walks past a picture of another Caveman and I liked it so much I called the compamy to find out who did it. After I got the CD I was so surprised to hear such neat music--it borders on mood music but wit attitude. The group is very different and has it together here. This is not for Rocker fans but will definately
satisfy the easy listener who wants to kick back and just be pampered. This one is worth the bucks.

Very pleased.......2007-05-15

I bought this because of the commercial - and although some reviews were only possitive about the one song, I found the rest of the songs to be enjoyable although they are quite different.

In the wake of 2005's Modern Day Drifter, Dierks Bentley has maintained fierce career momentum, earning awards, packing concerts, and joining the Grand Ole Opry in the space of just over a year. As before, he continues to flawlessly integrate straight-ahead, unforced vocals into a riproaring sound, underpinned this time by the solid, appealing mainstream acoustic bluegrass of touring partners the Grascals. The opening track, "Every Mile a Memory," defines the album's direction, buttressed by the witty "That Don't Make It Easy Loving Me." He projects clarity and desperation on "Trying to Stop Your Leaving," enhanced by an understated, yet appropriately tense arrangement. "Band of Brothers" celebrates the quintessential travails of musicians playing the low end of the honky-tonk circuit, while his all-inclusive, courageous views on "The Heaven I'm Headed To" may not please hardcore red-staters. The perpetual debate pitting country modernists against traditionalists often reaches the same levels of intensity as in current politics. Long Trip Alone demonstrates the smartest solution: quality modern country of the moment that simultaneously honors its past. --Rich Kienzle

This was actually the first Dierks Bentley cd I ever bought. I'm a new country fan and after hearing Long Trip Alone on the radio for the first time I knew I HAD to have it. Dierks is my favorite artist and I love Long Trip Alone.
The cd is awesome! Every song is really great! The only one I really don't care for very much is That Don't Make It Easy Loving Me, track #4. But other then it is great. Long Trip Alone is my favorite song on the track obviously. I also like Soon As You Can and Prodical (Sp?) Son's Prayer. The whole cd is great and I'd defintely recemmend it to anyone!

I'll admit there are other songs of his I like better, but it's DIERKS!! HOW can it be bad?? Instead of just going by a CD or 2, you know it's not the same as hearing him live. The truth of his voice, like some others, far outshines some of these "polished" established acts. For "the new country" folks coming up, IE: Dierks, Gretchen, Jason or Keith (Anderson) - THESE folks rip live!!! Dierks has a live DVD from here in San Francisco I KNOW is gonna be good. My friend (the KENNY fan) & I felt Gretchen "showed" better than Kenny @ his concert. As I say on my BLUES show, "If you don't support it LIVE, you won't hear it on the air!!" Any chance of seeing someone live keeps the opportunity to record going!! What happened to Pinmonkey & WHY don't we hear Shooter or HANK III anywhere??? Playin' & Lovin' it ALL!! Donnie

Great Country Music.......2007-03-21

I am glad I ordered this CD. It is one of the best music cd's I have purchased in the last few months to be from an up and coming new artist.
Great music and I highly recommend it.

Soulful. Easily, great country music........2007-02-20

Dierks Bentley's "Long Trip Alone" is a wonderful listen.
The songs take me back to roadtrips and good times.
I love the effortless mix of modern country and old time bluegrass.
Bentley's voice is rustic, but enjoyable.
Worth every penny.

Zero 7's ability to conjure beautiful lullabies with all the romance of 1960s French pop (as found on their debut LP, Simple Things) would have made them the toast of soundtrack composers and chill-out connoisseurs the world over. Unfortunately, two Frenchmen beat Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker to the title of "masters of comedown cool," leaving the London duo to be forever called "the British Air." And this is fair; the similarities between Zero 7's lush cinematic soundscapes and those of Air's Moon Safari and the Virgin Suicides score are so strong as to sound almost intentional. Nonetheless, their debut is a truly gorgeous album. It has all the tried and tested atmospheric tricks--bleeps and whooshes layered over plodding Fender Rhodes chords, swathes of strings and tender trumpet parps--but it's Binns and Hardaker's languid grooves and the soft melancholy of their melodies that make dream-state instrumentals "Give It Away" and "Polaris" utterly enchanting. The real power of Simple Things, however, is in its songs. As beautiful as the ambient strains are, when laid beneath the seductive vocals of Australian diva Sia on the ethereal "Destiny" or the heart-breaking "Distractions," their potency becomes apparent. --Dan Gennoe

Album Description

2001 debut full length for dance act described as, 'the British Air', the follow-up to two limited, critically acclaimed EPs. Highlights include the awesome African influenced instrumental passage 'Likufanele', the velvety 'I Have Seen' feat. Mozez & the quiet storm of 'Destiny' feat. Sia. Quango.

Suave, Refined -- So Cool. I really enjoy this album.
My favorites in this album are "Destiny", "Distractions" (sublime) and "In the Waiting Line".

Fabulous.......2007-03-16

This album is absolutely a must-have. My music library would be incomplete without it.

Fantastic.......2007-02-25

I feel like I have discovered a whole new world of music with this CD and I have both listened to a ton of music and am also a musician. I recommend this highly to anyone that wants to reinspire their musical pallete after feeling like they've reached a lull in their listening. I realize this is an older CD, but I had not listened to much electronica earlier and I almost think to categorize Zero 7 and particularly this album as electronica is oversimplifying it. There is much depth to the music.

If you like downtempo and lounge house, this is for YOU!.......2007-02-18

Ever since I bought this CD, it has not left the CD changer in my car. It's one of those CDs you can listen to over and over again when you first purchase the CD. Over time, the entire CD has grown on me. The music has hints of disco mixed with downtempo and occasional light lyrics. The standout tracks for me have been Destiny, Red Dust, In the waiting line, This World, and the bonus track Salt Water Sound. Great for driving, relaxing at home, and for setting the mood wherever you go!

No match for Air.......2007-02-01

I bought this based on all the comparisons to Air, a band I can listen to endlessly. The music is indeed highly similar. Unfortunately, the banal, faux-soulful vocals turned me off completely.

The collaboration of studio whiz Geoff Barrow and singer Beth Gibbons, Dummy was made at the same time as a short film noir called "To Kill a Dead Man," and the same approach--gloomy, tormented, and wildly melodramatic--permeates the album. "Sour Times" (the hit in which Gibbons cries, again and again, "Nobody loves me, it's true") and the more cryptic "Glory Box" are the linchpins of the album, defining its sound: dark flashes of old soul and film music, dehumanized electronic bleeps, Gibbons emoting like she's consumed by shame, and a bass-and-beat pulse derived from the slow bump and grind of the Bristol scene that spawned Barrow's old collaborators, Massive Attack. --Douglas Wolk

a mighty trip (hop).......2007-05-14

portishead rocks!

but the funny thing about this cd, with its echoing bass and drum lines, and the ghostly echoing lead vocals is that i love each song so much, i can't distinguish one from the other.

this is not to say there is a sameness in the music. each track has its own character. but i swear, i don't remember a single name as i write this.

Still ahead of its time........2007-04-22

Portishead is the great tease of 90s music. Beth Gibbons continues to record, but Portishead created such complex and lush soundscapes that their limited catalog is simultaneously disappointing and sacrosanct.

The beats and mix of instrumentation, the biting torch song lyrics and the haunting electronic synth bed are still sonically on the cutting edge of what artists are creating 10-12 years later.

This album is full of languid trip hop beats that contrast well with Beth's tortured vocals.

A must own for serious rock fans

Portishead - DUMMY.......2007-04-06

Amazing. Beth Gibbons voice has a wide range on this CD. Dummy is powerful and yet then has a sound that is soothingly hypnotic. This is a CD that I would recommend for anyone to purchase. I enjoy all of their albums though this has become an all-time favorite.

Such a trip!.......2007-02-19

This album carries this deep vague element where you don't know and you don't bother yourself to know,you just sit there,listen and feel the music's cross over,it has this modern gothic sense,at times it's sensual and at times it's disturbing,and that's the secret of this album,in a way it portrays women's emotions through the beats and lyrics. It's more of the subconscious mind kicking in than the conscious mind. It's a slick album that awakens the senses,you don't skip the tracks,you simply let it play,you don't know which one or what kind or where from,like i said,you just listen...

Brilliant.......2007-02-13

I wonderful blend of hip hop beats with trippy sound scapes. The vocals are amazing and heart fealt. Definately a five star album.

The third full-length release from Massive Attack is a taste of the future of pop music--a future where precisely engineered events can be seamlessly partnered with the subtle complexities of a human voice. Since their first album, Blue Lines, they've been making similar magic happen with any one of several guest vocalists, but nothing like the way it happens on Mezzanine. This time they take the union further, moving it into a darker space in which the individual elements become less discernable. Guest vocalists are Sara Jay, Horace Andy (who also appeared on their debut), and Elizabeth Fraser (of Cocteau Twins), whose amazingly articulate and distinctive voice works so very well with the music of Massive Attack. --Paul Clark

A classic.......2007-06-21

There aren't many trip hop albums I have bought over the years that has managed to sound fresh every time I throw in the cd into my stereo or listen to it on my iPod. Massive Attack's 1998 classic "Mezzanine" is one of those few trip hop albums that still sounds as fresh today as I first heard it almost ten years ago. The music is a sublime mix of hypnotic electronic beats, seductive male and female vocals, and a diverse mix of samples from bands like The Cure.

What I love about "Mezzanine" so much is that the music is dark and sinister. All the death/black metal bands in the world cannot create music as richly dense and heavy as "Mezzanine" is. There is a terrifying quality to the music that the entire album would be a perfect film score for a psychological thriller. The first two songs "Angel" and "Risingon" sounds like they would be perfect scores for my nightmares. I can never get tired of listening to "Teardrop" which features Elizabeth Fraser on vocals. The production is neither too slick or too gritty. "Mezzanine" is one of the few albums I can actually call flawless. Every song is a Massive Attack classic.

Worth it by far.......2007-06-18

This is probably one of my favorite albums of all time. Great CD and quality. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Sublime.......2007-05-23

This is one of my favourite CD's and sounds like a cross between Advokat and Zero 7. Great for late night, moody listening...

It's Not Trip-Hop, But it is...........2007-05-04

This was the first Massive Attack album i bought. it doesn't sound like it's been almost ten years since this came out, it just has this timeless feel to it. Massive Attack has, ironically, done everything they have set out to do on this album, and that is be exactly who they are by trying to escape who they have become. i know that that may sound kind of strange, but it makes sense. The label "trip-hop" is something they have always loathed, despite the fact that they were pioneers of it, and i find it ironic that this album is one of the (if not THE)preeminent examples of this style.

"Mezzanine" is like the "Sgt. Pepper's" of trip-hop, and of Massive Attack's career. i don't care how many more albums they release, this will always be the best one. however, i do disagree with some reviews that label this album as heavy metal. Massive's music always seems to come close to style, but shies away. there are shades of everything reggae, hip-hop, metal, ambient, but i can't say that there is enough to pinpoint it down in general. again this is something that i find unique to trip-hop, never quite getting at what it wants to be stylistically but coming very close.

continuing my comparison to "Sgt. Pepper's" the first obvious parallel is the structure of the album. the songs fit so perfectly together, that while some may not be great songs, it is how they fit in relation to the others that makes them work. the track "exchange" while seeming stupid to other reviewers i find to be a wonderful midpoint break between the four track barrage to open the record and the second half. unfortunately though, in similarity to the Beatles and all great bands, landmark albums lead to destruction. The Beatles were never the same after Sgt. Peppers breaking up barely three years later. Massive, while still barely clinging to 3D and Daddy G, have lost a bit of edge. The creative juices only flow so far and i think the gas has ran out a bit. but what an incredible record!!!

The most original album of the 90's.......2007-05-04

Massive Attack's Mezzanine ranks right up there with David Bowie's Low and the Velvet Underground's White Light/White Heat for most original album in the history of pop music. It is an album of craft; each beat, each note, and each lyric are carefully put into place for perfection. This album is not for everybody however; the dense, pristine production of Mezzanine conjures up a heavy air of claustrophobia. If slow and creepy is your cup of tea, then take a gulp, because this is as good as it gets. Mezzanine is a concept album. Since it is hard to figure out what the concept is, I will give it away. It is about autism. Mezzanine is not a happy record, but it is not depressing either. The tone that I get is one of fuzzy, distorted confusion, with the singers detailing the struggles of making sense of the world around them (the way autistic savants do) with impeccable songwriting. Lyrics such as "toy-like people/make me boy-like" will remain fresh and experimental for a very long time. Mezzanine is more hypnotic than entertaining, that is for sure. But in that, it succeeds impossibly well. Mezzanine, along with Blur's The Great Escape, is the best album of the 90's. Genius. A+

Versions gathers 18 Thievery Corporation remixes from across a music spectrum that only the most eclectic could love. The vinyl-popping digital duo embraces '60s psychedelia with the Doors and '60s kitsch with Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. They put them all into the mixmaster, usually adding the downtempo jazzy electro-lounge beats upon which they built their early reputation. Alpert's "Lemon Tree," taken from the recent Whipped Cream & Other Delights Rewhipped, is a vintage noirish mood piece, but this doesn't always work. Fear of Pop's "In Love" becomes a tedious vamp, and the Doors' "Strange Days" is a missed opportunity squandered on a Cagian "indeterminacy" moment, like two bands in different rooms. But the Thievery formula usually works wonders on even the most unlikely material. There's an Indian twang to many of these mixes, including the Middle East-via-Bombay grooves of Trans-Global Underground, the Indian singing of Ustad Sultan Khan, and the fragile sitar of Anoushka Shankar. Even the tunes that aren't Eastern, like Nouvelle Vague's Euro-lounge "This Is Not a Love Song," get the full Indian treatment with droning tambouras and tabla percussion. I wonder what it says that no matter whether they're using Astrud Gilberto, Sarah McLachlan, or the Doors as source material, it all comes out sounding like Thievery Corporation. --John Diliberto

Awesome CD. Great music to work to, party to, be creative to. just about anything

Consistently Excellent!!!.......2007-03-09

It's nice to finally have many of these remixes in one place, including many I had not heard before. Despite these songs being from many different genres and times, they flow together like liquid butter! The new Thievery song "Originality" is a slamming reggae jam that will liven up your party in the coming months. Imagine today's young people getting down to The Doors, courtesy of Thievery's "Strange Days" remix. Elsewhere, there are plenty of songs to spin, no matter your mood. This is not just some knockoff package till Thievery can deliver another studio album - this is a full fledged musical work!

On another note, it's nice to know that Thievery is embracing the beauty of album packaging, with another first rate package here to go along with "The Cosmic Game" and "Richest Man in Babylon." Even though CD sales are going the way of the passenger pigeon, it's nice to browse through such an elaborate package, which can then enhance the entire listening experience.

Not their best, but a regular in my playlist.......2007-01-30

This album is so very fabulous - great for parties. The more you listen, the more you'll love it. Reminiscent of early Pompougnac - thankfully!

the best Costes CD since #6.......2007-03-24

With this mix Pompougnac goes back to the roots and re-introduces a richer Paris lounge flair, abandoning the more disco-hipster types of rhythms and themes. This may be in response to an exploding market of global lounge music from the frequent flyer series to the destination lounge sets. The album reestablishes Pompougnac as one of the original godfathers of lounge, his picks and his mixing are unique and impeccable. A great album.

Back on track.......2007-01-28

I have all the Costes series, so I guess I'm in a position to compare. I was quite disappointed with vols 6 & 7, so nearly didn't bother with vol 8, but in the end was glad I did. Vol 9 shows that the series is now securely back on track and I agree with a previous reviewer that this is almost on par with Etage 3. Definately worth a listen if you have enjoyed this series of albums at all.

Some of the best lounge music I've heard!.......2007-01-19

There is only one track I'm not excited about and about six that are among my favorites of all time. (The least favorite track is Emotional Rescue, though my wife loves it. My favorite track is One.) This album is really great, very easy to listen to. It inspired me to pick up other music from Stephane Pompougnac, which is also good, but this one is my favorite.

If you like this type of music, you might also consider albums from Monsieur Claude, or at a distant third, possibly Erotic Lounge or even Bar Grooves.

One of the better ones.......2007-01-11

I have been a fan of the Hotel Costes series since I heard Vol 3. I now have them all. Some are definitely better than others and some (like vol 8) are not really worth listening to.

This one is quite good. It definitely takes about 3 listens before it grows on you. When it does, you will listen for a long time. Check out track 7, it's amazing. Then pay attention to 2, 8 & 11.
