My first listen to Alumnium Group.......2003-02-05

I picked up this baby in a used record store and gave it a listen and I enjoyed it. Although I think it's a little spare on the lyrics, which is often fine since the songs are really chilled out and soothing. I've been told older Alumnium sounds different but I have little interest in a deviation from this style and would recomment this album to anybody that wants something to chill too.

Adventurous, in a good way.......2002-03-15

Just as Radiohead is willing to rework its approach to music, Aluminum Group is undeterred from exploring alternative musical concepts.
Working with Tortoise has opened up the possibilities.
I, for one, am looking forward to future releases.

The sound of the mighty , falling further.......2001-02-10

I consider Wonderboy+ and Plano as pioneering albums of the po-mo pop era. Pedals had its moments, but tried too hard for "art." Sadly, Pelo continues this unfortunate trend, and abandons most of the really good stuff the Aluminum Group had going for it. (Way too much form, not enough function, you know? We ask for Chocolates, you give us a semiotic reading of a cook book.) I hope the boys realize that exquisite, brainy pop is more than art enough. And the fact that I love Sally Timms breaks my heart even further. She deserves better, guys!

Halfway Between.......2001-01-13

On their fourth CD Pelo The Aluminum Group land halfway between the sharp chamber pop of their charming Plano and the hollow overreaching of its follow-up Pedals. Gay brothers John and Frank Navin guide their collective through these ten supple, ambisexual songs, never as playful as their think they're being (except on the pseudo-instrumentals "Pussycat" and "Pussy Reprise") nor as pretentious as a few of the titles would imply. The brothers have deep voices that borderline pomposity, which compounds their moonier ideas (like "Tom of Finland [An Homage]"!) and adds poignancy to their hyper-romanticism. "If You've Got a Lover, You've Got a Life" is a highlight, if not also a statement of intent, and they're best when they're fast and funny, as on that track and "Satellite". On the slow ones, however, they're not only ponderous, they're dim-witted.
