3 out of 5 stars Not the CD I would get from them............2004-11-29

....if I was just getting one. Tower Recordings are a fantastic, authentically psychedelic band from New York, but this album does not have a great sense of continuity/flow, and it's only 37 minutes. Some tracks have the magic, but mostly it's kind of a mess - disjointed and so-so. (The second half is better in this respect than the first, but then the latter tracks are mostly a minute or less.) Earlier albums were more abstract and seemed more inspired, too. I would HIGHLY recommend "Furniture Music For Evening Shuttles" over this. Sometimes one instrument/sound is rambling on when you wish there were more group interplay. There's some nice, intuitive, f*@ked up moments....but they can do better than this.

4 out of 5 stars damaged folk.......2003-10-13

This is definitely in the realm of experimental, yet accessible and pleasing to hear (to my ears). All these tracks are experiments in sound. Some are straightforward soft acoustic ballads, but most are open format songs with acoustic guitar as a starting point and alot of tape manipulation mixed in. There is also vocals on some songs, and woodwinds on others, with different types of gauzy hiss and crackle and other effects in the background. Or in the foreground I should say - the point of this record is that every sound is important, and every sound is examined in turn for its potential beauty. Here and there there is a nod to psychedlic folk with soft drones, or subtle tribal drums. This will appeal to fans of the Microphones.
