4 out of 5 stars Ticket to Ride.......2004-08-29

Whether you want to admit it or not post-punk has dominated 2004. The Futureheads, TV on The Radio and !!! just to name a few and, yes Chikinki is part of this musical movement.
Chikinki are not just copyist though. In fact I would say they are innovators as synthesizers, loops and sensor pads dominate their sound.

Saying that the band do come from Bristol, which always had a tradition of using electronic instruments merged with traditional ones.
There is good stuff here and melodies aplenty. `Ether Radio' could easily be a hit single in a parallel universe. Same with `Hate TV', oh and practically half the rest of the album. Each and every song is a blustery streak of manic energy that rushes through your cranium and snuggles itself into your brain.
Another aspect of this album is the way it sounds different with every listen. I have had this album in my stereo for days and I'm STILL discovering something new and questioning it. Like, for example, are those violins crossed with a Morricone backdrop with crunchy guitars on `Staple Diet'? and so on.
In a year of great debuts `Lick your Ticket' is another to join this ever growing list and its a clear sign that British music is gaining it's feet again.

5 out of 5 stars My Album of the Year.......2004-07-17

This is the best album I've heared this year. I saw them live last September and the CD doesn't dissapoint. About as original as a band can be these days . They mix electro pop and guitar rock in a way that no guitar fanatic can disslike.

5 out of 5 stars Ticketlicking Good!.......2004-06-27

This is an awesome debut album by a fantastic electro-indie five piece from Bristol, England. I am lucky enough to have seen them live several times , and this is a great recorded representation, capturing their energy perfectly- the beauty of Chikinki is in their clever combination of rocking riffs and futuristic synths and the singer's androgenous vocals complete the unusual mix, creating what I think is the sexiest, slickest poprock the world has heard for a long time.
