5 out of 5 stars It's Tobackelicious!.......2000-02-10

As most dedicated fans know, Jeremy Toback first made a name for himself touring the L.A. coffeehouse circuit playing nothing but introspective acoustic cover versions of Bay City Rollers songs. Toback was greatly lauded in neo-folk circles for wringing pathos from his meticulous, between-the-lines interpretations of classics like "Saturday Night" and "Rock & Roll Love Letter." This phase in his career peaked with a 1995 Letterman appearance, where his bring-down-the-house version of "Yesterday's Hero" left Letterman guest Brooke Shields in tears and, sadly, resulted in a lawsuit against Toback by Rollers co-founder Derek Longmuir. Thus began Toback's Dark Period, characterized by infrequent east coast stage appearances in which Toback would alternate between twisted interpretations of Diamanda Galas songs and letter-perfect renditions of early Neil Diamond tunes. Having exorcised his personal demons, Toback returned to the L.A. music scene with his flawless Perfect Flux Thing. While traces of Rollers classic "Summer Love Sensation" and Neil Diamond's immortal "Forever in Blue Jeans" are subtly hinted at in several of the album's tracks, Jeremy has finally found his own voice. It's a moving document showing great potential for future growth.

5 out of 5 stars Right on!.......1999-08-22

Perfect Flux Thing is hard to describe, you should just listen to it for yourself. California Phase, Eden Trampoline and The Word Behind Words set the tone for this excellent CD. Who the heck is Jeremy Toback, anyway? This guy came out of nowhere to become one of the most promising songwriters around. With all the boring drivel currently being played on FM radio, we need to be hearing more of artists like Toback!

5 out of 5 stars I love this CD!!!!!.......1999-08-20

Unbelievably, Jeremy Toback has replaced the Noise Petals as my favorite band of all time. With a touch of Stipe, a pinch of Reid, a jigger of Donovan, an echo of the Bunnyman, and a wee bit of Jefferson Airplane, Jeremy creates a sound all of his own! BUTTERFLY ELEPHANT is even better than his classic WALK THIN WALLS! You go guy!
