CD Reviews

Dreamy electro-Brit-pop

Russell Evansen | Waunakee, WI USA | 10/01/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Like so many of my favorite artists, Weekend Players would still be unknown to me if I had to rely on radio to introduce me to good music. Fortunately, I discovered them through the "Ultra Chill" compilation CDs, which have been consistently worth the price in terms of suggesting new artists to investigate. The first song I heard was "Jericho" (on Ultra Chill 04 - another good buy) and I was immediately smitten by the smooth grooves and Rachel Foster's Tracey Thorn-like voice. Many people have compared Weekend Players to EBTG, but they also compare favorably to trip-pop groups like Morcheeba and electronica artists like Chicane. The mood here is relaxed and sultry, the tunes are infectious and the vocals are lovely. What more could you ask?"

The best of its kind

E. Cinar Sahin | Istanbul, Turkey | 06/29/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Like many other listeners I came across this amazing debut by luck. I was surfing around to see what was new. I am so happy to have come across Weekend Players, but I'm even more excited about the potential they have.

The album is very defined. It's perfect harmony between vocals, a hint of electronica and great down beats (the vocals are really amazing). It's smooth, clean, and quality. I think the title says it all. The album is a pursuit of happiness, the feeling of calm fulfillment. Just like lying on the beach on a beautiful day with a nice cool breeze, and you have nothing to worry about... at all."

Falling in Love

"OK, I was falling in love when I had the pleasure of receiving this as a birthday gift. It was really a wonderful soundtrack to have at the time. The music is simply hauntingly beautiful and can make your haeart ache (in a good way) It stays with you and has made very nostalgic wehnever I listen to it. This CD holds a special place in my heart and brings me to a place that I will always cherish. It was that powerful for me. I know it had a lot to do with timing but I think you'll understand when you hear it. I would say 8-9 songs are absolutely stellar which is rare. Buy and listen to it a lot."
