CD ReviewsThe Key James D. Rickard | USA | 12/21/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "The real beauty of this compilation is the liner notes. Don't get me wrong, the compilation is brilliant and the music is wonderful, but the key to the whole thing is the notes Wayne scribbled about why he chose each song. Listening to this without reading the notes is a bit like wandering lost around an art museum, enjoying the paintings. It is a great way to spend your time. On the other hand, you could be led by an expert who can explain the finer points, the history, the reason the art is in this collection to begin with. You get all the aesthetic pleasure, plus enlightenment. Wayne is your personal docent. He points out reasons for collecting these songs; a beautiful innovation here, a pathetically heart wrenching lyric there, a sublime use of an odd time signature, this band had to be in the collection and this is a good representation of why, on and on." Up and down, could use a little editing.. T. Snook | Fountain Hills, Arizona United States | 02/12/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "Others have described the CD fairly well. No point in adding my blather to theirs. I'll leave it at this: this is a good CD, but not great; it needs some editing. Delete tracks 12-16 and you have a much more concise, cohesive offering. I don't how who Alfie are (is?) but their song "People" is a definite highlight. Linear, tight, multipart interwoven guitar rock: picture the Strokes with twice the IQ." Interesting Downtempo Mix Lukas Jackson | Los Angeles, California United States | 07/15/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "The Flaming Lips are always musically adventurous and experimental, so I knew they'd have to have some cool influences. This album is a sweet mellow mix kicked off with Bjork's "Unravel" (probably the best song from "Homogenic"), seguing into some Miles Davis (not my favorite by him, but continues the mellow mood), later getting into some music box funk by Aphex Twin and Chemical Brothers. Near the end we get Radiohead's "Pyramid Song"-- I've never been a huge fan, but this song is by leaps and bounds the best I've heard from them, Thom Yorke distilled down to somber wailing poetry and a simple, eerie piano riff underneath. A definite highlight. Right after that, we get the easy listening song "I'm Not in Love," whose inclusion here makes me see the song in a new light, especially in this extended and uncut version.
You know the Lips know their music, and this mix tape doesn't disappoint. It manages to be downtempo and always interesting at the same time." |
