5 out of 5 stars Not From This Planet.......2000-02-22

This album stands as a testament to what clever amateurs, unfettered by traditional notions of song structure, popularity, or musicianship can do with a studio. This debut disc is far ahead of its time and has the uncanny ability to challenge one's preconceptions about what music can be - challenge being the key word here.

The lyrics are arch, adroit, and oblique. The songs' propulsively minimal skeletons support dense, compelling, and odd sonic textures that range from the airily ironic pop of "Kicked In The Horse..." to the dessicated ululations of "The Grand Substitution".

The work is not without its blemishes. One may question a few of the V's more self-indulgent compositional choices, like noisy drones or cacaphonous synth blurts that occasionally occlude more important elements such as with the lyric in the last verse of "Open Casket (For Tiny)". But the warts never overshadow the stunning richness and creativity of the songs.
