This wildly psychedelic Seattle septet offers an old-fashioned head-trip with flashes of Hip Hop/4AD modernity. Fine cover of "2000 Light Years From Home" and 11-minute closer "We Will Fall" are, er, mind blowers. --Jeff Bateman

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding and unique neo-psychedelia.......2007-05-02

By all that is holy! How is it that an album so ground-breaking, so mind-blowingly brilliant has ended up out of print, with merely a few ragged used copies floating about? Is there no justice in this world? This is an example of '90s music that we should be putting atop a pedestal, resplendent for all to see (hear?). The music on this disc still sounds as impressively innovative and fresh as the first time i heard it. There is a dark, interstellar vibe running throughout this album, something which sort of ties it thematically together. It is at times very upbeat, other times nearly somnolent, sometimes completely space-tastic! It is a masterpiece of modern rock that transcends that genre without even trying. This humble reviewer HIGHLY recommends it!

5 out of 5 stars Not a genre band. The real thing........2005-12-29

Bears some resemblance to Jefferson Airplane and Cocteau Twins some folk music even Daevid Allen at times and a section with a bass clarinet no less, but I really just can't place them. Lots of "little" sound details. You can tell they love sound. They revel in the sounds they make. Nice melodies too. Some sections even 'rock' and not in the cliched way. Lots of stuff to occupy and challenge the mind and test out the stereo.

See most people like one genre that fits their "lifestyle" or validates their taste. This is not smart. I try to go with the best of whatever genre. Even better is no genre. That means they've created their own genre. From some of the other descriptions their live shows must have been a trip. Too bad that's pretty rare too.

Picked one up at a garage sale to sell and decided to keep it after listening to it. I hardly ever do that. I've got a few thousand CDs and a few thousand records what the heck do I need another CD for?

Better pick one up while you can. Certain to be a collectors item. It figures that few know of them. I'm sure no record execs knew what to do with them. No commercial potential right?

4 out of 5 stars Seattle's First Band On The Moon.......2003-06-04

SCM was too far-out to be aptly described in words, to be commercially successful-- and, ultimately, to reside on this earth. Their live shows were a swirling trip, with pulsating amoebae projected onscreen and the lead female singer dressed as a tree; no drugs were necessary. This particular album captured that feeling perhaps the best of any of their outings, with their cover of (appropriately) "2,000 Light Years From Home" as the major highlight.
Perhaps, from a musical standpoint, it's good that they never made the "big time," as we'd likely have seen a number of pale imitators. SCM was truly one-of-a-kind.

5 out of 5 stars I had no idea anyone else besides me knew who they were!.......2001-08-20

All I can say is that I have been through three of these CD's due to the amount I have listened to it.......absoluetly wondeful!
