Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The grooves come fast and furious with Richard Vission's hyperactive house style. His wax flies at turntablist speed, and the way he restlessly bounces between tracks could spur an ADD epidemic. It's an approach that has made him justifiably famous; he makes most house DJs seem inexcusably lazy. If there's a downside, it's that Vission's torrential downpour of tracks can get too ambitious for listeners looking to lose themselves in the flow. Blending the 54(!) tracks found on his 2000 release Shut The F*** Up And Dance was an exhilarating accomplishment but it struggled to keep such a jigsaw of rhythms together. The first disc of the two-disc set Automatic features another marathon mix, but cuts down to a paltry 20 tracks—a pittance! But have no fear; the man has mastered his genre mixing over the years, and his savvy with playing the vibe over a continuous mix set has never been keener. Few, if any, dance records this year will have anything as fun as his transition from Mylo's "In My Arms (Sharam Jey Remix)"to his own remix of the Bravery's "Fearless." Tracks from INXS and Green Velvet are plenty tasty as well. As a testament to his studio skill, the second disc is nothing but remixes, all presented at their full lengths and left to stand on their own, devoid of quick cuts and blended transitions. The combination just about guarantees something of value for any fan of quality house, or for that matter, anybody who likes to dance at all. -Matthew Cooke

Product Description
Don't think, don't question, just listen: it's 'Automatic' by Richard Vission, a new mix CD out October 4th, 2005 via his recently inked deal with Thrive Records. 'Automatic' is the 10th release in Vission's mix CD catalogue, and his first double CD ever. The first disc is an explosive 20 track mix featuring Mylo, Plump DJ's, The Bravery [Richard's own remix], INXS, Static Revenger, Green Velvet and David Garcia. Disc 2 is a collection of Richard Vission productions & remixes including three original Vission songs: "Automatic," "Somebody" and "Freeze" all featuring Stranger Days. The lead single "Automatic" is a wicked blend of dirty analogue basses, squelchy synths, nasty guitars and a hook that will stick in your head for weeks: "I keep searchin', searchin' for that perfect feelin."

Amazon.com essential recording

Continuing to specialize in the art of curve-throwing, R.E.M. followed up its 1991 smash, Out of Time, with this fragile album of soft melodies and string arrangements. The sympathetic ballad "Everybody Hurts" must have prevented countless suicide attempts, while the Andy Kaufman tribute "Man on the Moon" (with Michael Stipe affecting an Elvis Presley imitation) and the rock-into-oblivion "Drive" are among the quartet's strongest hits. (The opening line, "Hey, kids, rock and roll," isn't so much a rallying cry as an expression of anxiety.) It takes a few listens for its charms to unfold, but Automatic is the gem between bigger hits Out of Time and Monster. --Steve Knopper

Customer Reviews:

Excellent.......2007-02-10

Everything everyone else has said. But, I do have to add this one: The song Find the River ALONE could easily make this their best record. I lack the words.

Brilliant Album, Good Sound Quality, Great Packaging!.......2006-02-26

This is not only R.E.M.'s best ever album but is very probably one of the best ever albums. A classic from start to finish with excellent songwriting, musicianship and like a true classic, the whole is a great deal more than the sum of the individual tracks; change anything about this album e.g. track order, track additions etc and you destroy it.

The whole theme of this album centres on death and mortality and suggests that there may be more to life than what's here on earth and perhaps the afterlife is not to be feared after all. The album's tour de force, "Man On the Moon" even alludes to this, suggesting that such diverse personalities such as Elvis, Andy Kaufman, Mott the Hoople, Isaac Newton, Fred Blassy may all be rubbing shoulders and goofing around in heaven if they "made the list, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah".

John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin fame has also done a brilliant job with the orchestrations on a few of the tracks and most notably on "Nightswimming". The album ends with my favourite track, "Find the River" which has simply wonderful lyrics that very poetically describes the feeling of a soul leaving this earth to head for the afterlife and an expectation of better things on the other side.

Without a doubt, Michael Stipes' lyrics have never exceeded the heights that they attained on this album. No fillers here as every track is a classic gem. How this album didn't witn the Grammy for Album of the Year, I cannot understand but I suppose like most all-time classic albums, it takes time before the true brilliance shines through and for the mainstream to catch on.

This version of the album has both a remastered cd and a dvd-audio that plays in 5.1 surround sound as well. The dvd sounds excellent and even accentuates some parts that you just don't hear on the regular cd. There is also a humorous short documentary on the making of the album interspersed with funny shots of the proprietor of the restaurant that coined the album title.

Great album, great tracks and great sound plus video make this an excellent buy. Highly recommended.

New Re-Release Package.......2005-11-06

If one album were to be fingered as R.E.M.'s masterpiece, this would be it. Automatic For the People is the most pensive, reflective and well-paced album of the band's career. With nothing really left to prove, R.E.M. could afford to please themselves first - something they've always done, to be sure, but usually with a sideways glance over their shoulder - and this time around, they run with it. The result is an album whose sum is much greater than the individual parts. The ratio of ballads to rockers is shifted heavily toward the former, which provides singer/lyricist Michael Stipe with the basic framework to stretch out lyrically. Mystifying tunes ("The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight", "Star Me Kitten") sit comfortably beside some of his most literal lyrics yet ("Everybody Hurts", "Man On the Moon"), while all are ensconced within creative and contagiously appealing melodies (did you happen to notice the sly four-note allusion to "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" buried in "Sidewinder"?). As the saying goes, death and taxes are the only things in life that are unavoidable, but this record shuns fear and is full of acceptance. Human frailty hovers over the proceedings like the ghost of Christmas past ("Everybody Hurts", "Sweetness Follows", "Man On the Moon"), painting mortality in a light that is downright agreeable. Not many artists are capable of making you smile while contemplating death. Taxes may still suck, but on "Automatic For the People", R.E.M. provide evidence that our ultimate destination need not be something to fear. A Tom Ryan

Automatic Classic.......2005-05-07

Automatic for The People is R.E.M.'s follow-up to their greatest commercial triumph, Out Of Time. The success allowed R.E.M. a bigger forum to get their message out. Automatic For The People finds the band exploring such subjects as suicide, euthanasia, Republicanism, lost stars, groupies and pop culture. The album opens with "Drive" which riffs on the David Essex classic "Rock On". "Try Not To Breathe" deals with the subject of euthanasia and is sung from the perspective of an elderly person asking for understanding in his request. "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight" lightens the mood a bit. Michael Stipe has fun with the song singing it in a "Subterranean Homesick Blues" style, even affecting an Elvis Presley imitation. He can actually be heard laughing on the track. Things get serious again with "Everybody Hurts" in which they broach the subject of suicide. They could've sounded preachy on the song, but Mr. Stipe sings with such compassion and understanding that song reaffirms life. "New Orleans Instrumental No. 1" is a throwaway track and "Sweetness Follows" is a very pretty number. "Monty Got A raw Deal" is the first song on the album about a late misunderstood actor. It's about Montgomery Clift and is quite powerful with some stirring music. "Ignoreland" is a hard-edged rocker that speaks out against the indifference towards people created by Republicans in their White House years of the 80's and early 90's. "Star Me Kitten" is their ode to groupies and is done in almost sleepy sound. "Man On The Moon" is the second actor song and probably the most famous song from the album. It is about the late Andy Kauffman and served as the title for the recent biopic starring Jim Carrey. It's got a honky tonk sound and some good slide guitar work by Peter Buck. The album closes with two slow numbers. "Nightswimming" is heavily laden with strings and is about longing for days gone by while "Find The River" closes the album on high note. The band finally seemed to be comfortable in the spotlight and they created a personal and enduring classic. The previously unreleased documentary is good and the DVD also contains Mr. Stipe's original handwritten and typed lyric sheets.

Album Description

Ataxia is the brainchild of John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Josh Klinghoffer of Bicycle Thief, and Joe Lally of Fugazi. This record is part of the Frusciante solo record series that'll continue to be released each month on vinyl and CD.

Customer Reviews:

Haunting, Imaginative & Creative.......2006-09-26

You always know anything featuring John Frusciante and Josh Klinghoffer is going to be excellent. This is no exception.
This record sounds like 3 guys jamming with a bit of reverb added later. From what I understand, 'Automatic Writing' is only half of what Ataxia recorded during these sessions, and plan to release the rest at a later date. We Can only hope.
The record runs at 45mins, with only 5 songs each song is pretty long, but captivating. It is experimental and even sounds improvised. The lyrics don't mean much at all but John delivers through his guitar playing which will blow you away. Josh shows his talent once again, delivering a solid platform with his drums along with Joe Lally on bass.
Josh even sings through most of track 2 'Another'. And when John joins in toward the end, the result is just pure musical bliss. This is definitely my favourite track on the record, along with 'Addition', the darkest song on the album.
The whole album is dark actually, but groovy at the same time. Its not an album that you will listen to as often as Johns others, but after a few listens, it will definitely be stuck in your head, and possibly even haunt your dreams.

These guys know how to jam and I look forward to any further releases.

1+1=3.......2006-08-21

Wow, this is one of the greates cds of the year!! It's the kind of situation where 1+1=3, the sum of the skills of each musician exceeds the individuals!! Every single song it's over 6 or 7 min but are so hypnotic that you can hardly notice the lenght. John's guitar playing is awsome, probably the best so far. Joe Lallys and Josh work is remarkable as well.
Hope they keep doing such an interesting music, although i heard this was only a one time project!! =(

Ataxia Awareness.......2006-06-30

Wow, I really wonder what was the driving force behind the chosen name of this band?? Ataxia is a medical term. In a standard medical dictionary, the definition refers to failure of muscular coordination; irregularity of muscular action...Most laymen think of a drunkard when their gait is ataxic; yet sadly, there are a number of people that suffer from a rare type of this progressive, neurologic disease known as something-something-ataxia, be it hereditary or sporadic.
Anyway, back to the music review -- hats off to the threesome for appropriately titling their experimental effort. The music is quite "without order" as is the Greek definition of the word...definitely for the eclectic and adventurous musician wanna-be's out there.

a great album and an amazing project.......2006-06-16

first of all i'm really 17 not 13. but this album shows that john is capable of giving the unexpected side of him a good ear to the public. the next half of ataxia should come this year. this record is why i started to play bass .i can play the bass for the whole album.

Dust-cool bass intro and great solos, some of the best john has ever produced.
Another-took a while for this song to grow on me, but its simple without being boring and the vocals give the song real spirit.
The Sides-the first song i heard from the album and its the best along with dust. i love all solos and those intro drums sound catchy.
Addition-i wondedred if theres a guitar in this song.but anayway its very dramatic but also has a good output of synth. the outro drums are the same for 'a loop" on will to death.
Montreal-listen to it for 4 minnutes, because its the most boring song i heard from john. and what was he thinking with those lyrics? it doesn't make sense.

this album is a must have for any fru fan. my best advice is download it its hard to find in stores. great work guys and i hope the next ataxia record to be the same. i know it will.

yet another side of Fru..........2006-04-12

John Frusciante never ceases to amaze me...
This is a good addition to an existing collection of John's releases. However, it's very different from his other releases. There's more a rockin' jam-band feel throughout, but it's still got plenty of John's amazing vocals (although I'll admit that I'm not a big fan of excessive reverb on vocal tracks)

Just received my copy of "Automatic Man" on CD. I slid it in the CD player and was SHOCKED, repeat, SHOCKED when the opening track, "Atlantis Rising Fanfare," began clicking and popping as if I were playing my old, worn-out vinyl copy of "AM!"

The same thing happens on the tracks, "Right Back Down," and "There's A Way." I instantly entered the web site address supplied on the cd cover (lemonrecordings.co.uk)to let loose a torrent of pissed-off fury, but guess what? The web site ain't working!

Someone must and will pay!

Flawless!!!!!.......2006-01-06

The previous reviews are 100% correct. Not only is there not a bad track on this record, there isn't a bad note. This is a timeless recording, as influential and progressive today as it was when it came out. I challenge anyone to hear it and then try to get it out of their head ...

Unfortunately, My vinyl copy of "AM" is severely f**ked-up, and I've been waiting for what seems like eons for this excellent piece of music to be released on CD, so damn the reviewers who say the sound quality sucks!! I'm buying it!

Anyone out there who has Bassist Stanley Clarke's cd, "Modern Man", will hear how he blatantly ripped-off "Automatic Man's" concept as far as the sequencing of the music is concerned. (with far less success, IMO!)

Album Description

Debut album from Welsh four-piece, a mix of blistering pop in the vein of The Futureheads, Maximo Park and The Kaiser Chiefs. The band has often been compared to Super Furry Animals and The Kooks, but occupy their own space in the world of Britpop. They are eclectic and quirky but are also sharp, melodic and musically dynamic. With each single, the band's popularity seems to grow even stronger and the fans have become more fanatical than ever before. This is definitely one of the few bands in the charts that have made it due to talent and word-of-mouth instead of the over-used hype machine that cranks out mediocre bands by the dozen. Features the singles 'Raoul', 'Monster' and 'Recover'. 12 tracks. B-Unique. 2006.

Album Details

The Debut Full Length from Cowbridge England's Teenage Four Piece, One of the Most Hotly Tipped Bands around in 2006. They Wowed Fans with a Series of Riotous Gigs (Including Tours with Hard-fi and the Ordinary Boys), Emerging as One of the Most Exciting Live Acts Around. Their Single "Monster" Turned Into an Anthem and is Another Example of the Band's Raucous Disco-punk, Boasting a Chorus That's Destines to Be Sung Everywhere from Playgrounds to Football Terraces.

Product Description

THE LOOKING GLASS WARS is a novel set in two dimensions -- our world and Wonderland. Since so much of the story unfolds in Wonderland it came to me that for the reader to more fully experience these characters and their world I should somehow extend the mental dimension of the page to the aural dimension to make it more sensory and emotional. Acting on an Imaginative impulse I decided to create an aural novel by producing a soundtrack much the same as a director would for a film. It was an abstract concept but one that I felt held a secret, locked promise if faithfully and artistically pursued. The musical landscape offered an incredible choice of talent and within a short time a number of artists were at work on their songs. And this is where it all became strange... For as the music came together and the tracks were compiled I came to know these characters, my characters, on a much deeper level. Ultimately, I found it both shocking and exhilarating to so intimately experience the anguish and passion of the heroic, monstrous, vengeful and loving denizens of Wonderland. Frank Beddor

The grooves come fast and furious with Richard Vission's hyperactive house style. His wax flies at turntablist speed, and the way he restlessly bounces between tracks could spur an ADD epidemic. It's an approach that has made him justifiably famous; he makes most house DJs seem inexcusably lazy. If there's a downside, it's that Vission's torrential downpour of tracks can get too ambitious for listeners looking to lose themselves in the flow. Blending the 54(!) tracks found on his 2000 release Shut The F*** Up And Dance was an exhilarating accomplishment but it struggled to keep such a jigsaw of rhythms together. The first disc of the two-disc set Automatic features another marathon mix, but cuts down to a paltry 20 tracks—a pittance! But have no fear; the man has mastered his genre mixing over the years, and his savvy with playing the vibe over a continuous mix set has never been keener. Few, if any, dance records this year will have anything as fun as his transition from Mylo's "In My Arms (Sharam Jey Remix)"to his own remix of the Bravery's "Fearless." Tracks from INXS and Green Velvet are plenty tasty as well. As a testament to his studio skill, the second disc is nothing but remixes, all presented at their full lengths and left to stand on their own, devoid of quick cuts and blended transitions. The combination just about guarantees something of value for any fan of quality house, or for that matter, anybody who likes to dance at all. -Matthew Cooke

Album Description

Don't think, don't question, just listen: it's 'Automatic' by Richard Vission, a new mix CD out October 4th, 2005 via his recently inked deal with Thrive Records. 'Automatic' is the 10th release in Vission's mix CD catalogue, and his first double CD ever. The first disc is an explosive 20 track mix featuring Mylo, Plump DJ's, The Bravery [Richard's own remix], INXS, Static Revenger, Green Velvet and David Garcia. Disc 2 is a collection of Richard Vission productions & remixes including three original Vission songs: "Automatic," "Somebody" and "Freeze" all featuring Stranger Days. The lead single "Automatic" is a wicked blend of dirty analogue basses, squelchy synths, nasty guitars and a hook that will stick in your head for weeks: "I keep searchin', searchin' for that perfect feelin."
