CD Reviews

A Great One from the Great One
BobotheChimp | Shorewood, IL USA | 06/20/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a much more personal album than his A&M records. Gems like "I am not me" and "you and oblivion" only come around once in a lifetime. For those who have heard these songs on "Storefront Hitchcock", this album has a different take, with more fleshing out of the background. I find it thoroughly enjoyable as a "quiet time" record with brains.I recently saw Robyn when he came through Chicago this Spring. He is at the top of his form, and no one should miss him if they have a chance to see him."
Great album

"Although I love Hitchcock the eccentric, he's not as much in evidence on this album. Nevertheless this, I think, is one of his very best - it never fails to touch me. Its a dreamy but mature meditation on memories and loss, with the feel of a song cycle, perfect for a fall or winter day. Robyn introduces violin on some songs to great effect, and his guitar playing and voice have never been any better. His songwriting remains on par with his best stuff, too - check out: "This is How it Feels" "She was Sinister" "You and Oblivion." And "Heliotrope," sounding like a Childe folk tune, with this great line: "I lie beneath the grass/My eyes are unseeing/My name is gone from all their files...." Sad, beautiful and highly recommended."
It would be 5 stars, but...

"...it's just not suited for everyday listening. I love this record, don't get me wrong. I don't have such a difficult time interpreting his psychedelia like so many others do, so this record really struck me as very heartfelt, honest and very emotional. The lesson I learned with Moss Elixir is that losing someone you love is devastatingly painful, but for better or for worse, you do get over it. However, you just can't listen to an album all about death and mourning all the time...it gets to you! Be sure to occasionally switch to a happier record like Fegmania!"
