You know what?.......2004-02-04

I just found out that Puttering About a Small Land is also a Philip K. Dick novel. Sort of odd, no? I would never normally associate the playful, child-like abusurdity of LOTL with the terrifying, disruptive absurdity of Dick, but I guess I kind of see the connection. Anyhoo, this is certainly a pleasant listen, but less amazing than Bundle of Joy. As for the Dick novel, I haven't read it, but definitely check out Ubik.

Ambient Loops.......2003-01-14

I really like this album. When I first heard Bundle of Joy (the first LOTL album) I was blown away. I had never heard such an array of odd melodies mixed with obscure samples. I could not stop listening to it. On Puttering About a Small Land, Sutherland continues making fun, trippy music, but takes the music in an ambient direction. Songs like "Patience" and "Party Pooper" leave your head swimming in dreamy images. "Single Girl Summer Home" is the only sub-par track on the entire album - there can be such a thing as too many samples and noises thrown into one song. Overall a very original album loaded with great original vocals, odd snippets of obscure movie dialogue, and great ambient beats. Looking forward to the next LOTL offering.

nice.......2000-09-05

this album is very worth checking out. its very relaxed, sweet and caring! haha. song 8 (patience) is such a great song. Land of the loops reminds me of Global Goon (rephlex) because of the funny hip hop beats... i actually like Global Goon better production and song wise, but the vocals that Land of the Loops incorporates make it very worthwhile. the vocals also really remind me of the His Name is Alive album "stars on ESP"... which is such an awesome album.

An Acid Trip... Minus the Acid.......2000-08-02

The first time I listened to this CD, I was sort of passive about it, because I had listened to Bundle of Joy a lot and just expected to like this one as much. But the more I listened to it, the more I just got sucked in and loved it more and more every time. This CD just really flows and it takes you to a completely different time and place. A big HUZZAH! for Alan Sutherland, for you are my Idol and I want to be you. (Good art too!)
