F#%$in' awsome.......2005-09-08

i thouroughly enjoy this album as well as the remixed version " peppered with spastic magic". its laidback and chill, but carefully thought out and meaningful. i would definately recomend this as well as 'tiny reminders' to anyone!!!!

Quirky and creative.......2003-05-18

I heard a track from this album on Internet radio and knew I had to check out the whole CD but I didn't know the exact name of the band. Unfortunately the track I heard was called "Gay Spunk" so you can imagine the trials and tribulations I experienced searching for this CD on the internet. :P
It was worth it. Like a previous reviewer pointed out there is quite an underwater feel to the album and it roams around from hi tempo to low without ever getting too heavy or dance-like. I look forward to digging up some of their other CDs.

pretty good.......2002-10-25

Has some songs that just rub me right, like no red stopping, other songs aren't too memorable, has a super mellow feeling so I don't listen to it too often but it's excellent for when I am feeling lazy.

Where did Matador go?.......2001-10-24

This album came out, and it was Two Lone Swordsmen's finest. They have a double album out that came out before this and it was good, but not this good.
Then Tiny Reminders came out last year, and it was even better than this album. Two Lone' are getting better, that is the obvious interpretation.
So where is Matador? They released this album in N.Amer. and Warp did their part in the UK. But now Tiny Reminders is only on Warp.

Conclusion: Matador does not support Two Lone Swordsmen as well as Warp.

Conclusion2: Not a crime, but disappointing considering the piffle that Matador likes to put out inbetween Belle & Sebastian records.

final comments: Two Lone Swordsmen are routinely cheapened by their covers, which do not do justice to the wonderments of their music.

unprofessional behaviour.......2001-06-18

There are several levels from which to enjoy this CD by the TWO LONE SWORDSMAN. For those lacking the propensity of active listening, STAY DOWN fits well as "wallpaper". It is unobtrusive enough to fall into the background yet, distinctive when acknowledged. As such, I find it easy to read with this music in the background. There are rewards, though, for those who listen more closely. Tracks 1-11 intimate a watery journey. This is accomplished through the use of "bubble" fx, tremelo with phase shifting, and familiar sounds presented in an unfamiliar way (e.g. backwards). An entertaining rhythm ties the journey together. If you are interested in electronic music with a theme that fits nicely with the decýr, this CD will interest you.
