''Rolling Stone'' called the album "an evocative blend of psychedelic melancholia." The ''Chicago Tribune'' deemed it "a woefully overlooked gem," writing that the band "used a handful of keyboards, guitars and percussion to produce a dreamy, trippy tapestry of minimalist hooks."

The Golden Band
''The Golden Band'' is a studio album by the indie rock band the American Analog Set, released in 1999 on Emperor Jones Records. Critical reception ''Exclaim!'' thought that "at last, the band has created melodies and bewitching atmospheres that enhance, rather than negatively emphasise, their deliberate lack of dynamics." The ''Chicago Tribune'' noted that the band was moving away from the influence of Stereolab and the Chills, and wrote that "they play brief, unhurried songs and delicate, vibraphone-textured instrumentals that flow dreamily into each other." ''Texas Monthly'' opined that "the group's careful silences and hypnotic guitar-vocal motifs could add up to nothing more than pleasing ambience, but the band transcends the surfaces."

He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
