This is what music is meant to be!.......2006-02-13

Well I recently bought this cd and as soon as I got home I popped it in, turned out all the lights, and just listened. All I can say is wow! Being a huge Skinny Puppy fan and knowing that Cevin Key was a member of this band I knew I was gonna hear at least a good cd but I had no idea I was about to hear a great cd. Not since discovering Skinny Puppy almost two years ago have I been so impressed by the creativity and sheer emotion of an artist. The only way I can think to desribe this cd is a dream because never have I heard music that remindes me so much of a conscious dream. All I can say is go buy this as it is well worth your hard earned money. This is music, this is ART.

Such A Surprise.......2005-08-02

I have been a huge Skinny Puppy fan for years and I was in my local music store about 5 months ago. Anyways, one of the workers saw I was looking into Puppy and asked if I ever heard of Tear Garden? Amazingly, I never had, he instantly put this disc into my hands and compared it to Pink Floyd turned electronic. After blasting it for 5 months straight I have to say, this is such an amazing album. Personally, my favorite song would be "love notes and carnations" I always have that chorus stuck in my head. I have to admit the spoken word is a bit too much sometimes, but all in all, this disc is a return of psychedelic music with an upgrade.

An epic unto itself.......2005-05-06

This is by far Tear Garden's best work. This album is richly textured and multi-layered such that one hears something new every time it is played. I have owned this CD since 1995 and have never grown tired of it. "Last Man To Fly" is something to behold when one is receptive to psychedelia, you understand; it is like an entire life lived in the duration of a single CD. Further, it is what I imagine Pink Floyd to have sounded like if they formed twenty-five years later than they did, with technology and sensibilities fitting the early 90's. After all, the 90's DID make the 60's look like the 50's...

CD sounds like how the cover looks........2003-12-01

First off, I don't traipse around amazon handing out 5 star reviews. This may be the first i've given.

This cd is fabulous. I just picked up joy division, das ich, die form, r(italin)x, dire straits and this. And this is all i play. I had downloaded romulus and venus a long time ago and bought the cd on account of it. This is my first tear garden cd.

To the uninitiated, tear garden is the psychadelic love child of Eddie Ka-Spel and Kevin Crompton. Or whatever their names are. cEvin's sound manipulations are as brilliant as in skinny puppy, yet this time somehow playful. All the songs twist the listener's perspective to a rose colored reality, cEvin does that. I believe Ka-Spel's (or whatever) lyrics are the most intelligent, poetic and mystitying (quirky too). Real instruments, melody, never heard anything like it.

There are no awful songs on here. The Great Lie and Empathy With the Devil are spoken, so they get old after a while. Apart from that everything is great. If i hear the beginning of 'hyperform', i have to hear the song out, i can't skip it. Romulus and venus could be my favorite song of any artist, for right now. Love notes and carnations and isis veiled are both also insanely awesome.

If you're like me you surf reviews like these looking for mp3s to start on. Get romulus and venus and one other (hyperform, love notes and carnations, isis veiled), then buy the damn cd.

One of my Top 5 releases ever!.......2003-10-18

This cd is just freaking incredible, one of my all time favorite cds ever! From start to finish there is not a bad song!

My favorite tracks include
Hpyerform
Running Man
Isis Veiled
Last Post

Good tracks for the dance floor include Empathy with the Devil & Romulus & Venus.

This project has a mix of members from Skinny Puppy and Edward Ka-Spel from the Legendary Pink Dots and is #1 on my list of bands to see live if they would ever play live (never have to my knowledge). You will never find a more original and intelligent release in these genre of music, this is a must have cd for djs as well as your personal collection!
