By 2005, it had been nearly eight years since Adrian Belew had unleashed an all-new solo studio effort. That's not to say he wasn't busy, though, as he toured/recorded with both King Crimson and the Bears during this time. And in the process, he became quite friendly with two of rock's top players -- Primus' Les Claypool and Tool's Danny Carey -- who happened to be major Belew fans. As a result, Belew invited the duo to play on several tracks on Side One. But be forewarned: they do not appear on the entire album, which is a shame, because the two best tracks -- "Ampersand" and "Writing on the Wall" (the latter of which is a fierce funk-rocker, quite reminiscent of early-'80s-era King Crimson) -- are the ones that contain this stellar lineup. But that's not to say the other tracks aren't worthwhile; other standouts include the noisy, repetitive epic "Madness" (which could have fit snugly on Crimson's 2003 effort, The Power to Believe) and a tribute to pachyderms everywhere, the appropriately titled "Elephants." At barely over 30 minutes in length, some fans who have patiently waited this long for a new Belew release may be disappointed initially, before finding out the good news -- the guitarist will be releasing two additional solo releases in 2005 (Side Two and Side Three). ~ Greg Prato
Down Beat (p.69) - "Belew commingles various electronics-based treatments with his roaring and wily, shockwave guitar licks, generally executed atop booming rhythmic patterns."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.104) - 4 stars out of 5 - "With an apparently effortless command of technique Adrian Belew is able to make his guitar do almost anything....[An] intriguing album..." Adrian Belew Side One Songs | 1. | Ampersand | |

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No wow.
This CD is really, really, good. I'm not much of a follower of Belew's solo CDs, but this one is a good buy. Definitely displays his talents playing multiple instruments most of the album; also shows why he's Fripp's right hand man of guitars for Crimson. And a guest appearance by Les Claypool and Danny Carey on this album, also tight.

An early hits collection from Germany, The Very Best of Cat Stevens is an 18-track showcase for his best work. Featuring several underrated gems amongst the expected hits, this album would be the template for a more detailed edition released ten years later on A&M. ~ Bradley Torreano
The details surrounding this single-disc compilation make it a rather fascinating listen. Years ago, the person formerly known as Cat Stevens (now Yusef Islam, but born Steven Giorgiou) renounced his work as a pop singer and even sold all his instruments. But at the close of the century, he had something of a change of heart, giving his approval for this retrospective. So, in effect, this disc is the consideration of a past life by someone who is still living ...
