"A nice collection of songs from various times in the band's history. They do an okay cover of Public Image Ltd.'s song Rise, but it's not the best (then again, neither was the original version). Creature is another fairly long song (and a pretty good one at that--probably my favorite off this album). Blue Train is another good one from the very early days of the band. One very unique thing about this album is the hidden track on it. While most bands put their hidden track at the end of an album, these guys stuck theirs at the beginning. You see, when you hit the play button to start the first track, you have to then hold down the rewind button until the display shows that you've gone roughly 9 minutes back. A rather humorous song I thought, and impressive the way they hid it like that.Overall, a really good album. As I said before, "It only gets better in time". I'm sure many fans will agree when they hear Tripping Daisy's next full length album, "Jesus Hits Like The Atom Bomb"."

Tripping Daisy - 'Time Capsule' (Island) EP

"Maybe the best EP I've ever had to my name.Was released between the CD's '...Elastic Firecracker' and 'Jesus Hits...'.Remember when I first got this EP,I was SO thrilled because I noticed it had the track "Creature" on it.Not knowing about this song drove me nuts for a bit.I saw Tripping Daisy play the previous Halloween and after the show,I snatched a copy of the setlist and could never find this tune on any of their CD's at THAT time.I touched base with the band and they told me this song was their tour opener as it was unreleased 'til 'Time...' came out.A couple of the other cuts here I liked were "I'm A Fish" and "Blue Train".I kept an eye open for any bootleg that might be available of this post grunge band's recent tours but no luck whatsoever.Too bad I only got to experience them live once,as they were a lot of fun to catch on the concert trail.Line-up:Tim DeLaughter-guitar&vocals,Wes Berggren(R.I.P.)-guitar,Mark Pirro-bass and Mitch Marine-drums.Might appeal to some fans of Silverchair,Hole,Seven Mary Three and Bush.Recommended."

"This c.d. is one of the best c.ds that you can buy. It's perfect for all types of differnt music like alterntive, mellow and easy listing just to name a few.It's great for partys or just listing to it on your disk man or walkman. I have three copies of Tripping daisy cd. Just in case some one wants to use it or if I take one cd on with me anywhere. This group and cd, will make you fell good when you are down or if you are felling chipper. It the best try it and even if your parents are very harsh on you about bad influnces of music on you, they will a prove of this cd and this group. When you listen to this, I hate to say (I told you so)."
