Arranger: Adem Ilhan.Uncut (p.83) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[He] teases mournful hidden nuances from Breeders, Smashing Pumpkins and Tortoise tracks."
Magnet (p.109) - "Adem puts his layered, laptop-folk spin on songs by Yo La Tengo, Tortoise, Low, Pinback, Lisa Germano, the Breeders, Bedhead and other late-'90s indie luminaries."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.114) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "His plaintive vocal rasp, genteel guitar and tinkling xylophones personalize an eclectic song pool..."
Clash (magazine) (p.117) - "The covers album can be a tricky beast, but Adem pulls it off in style....A quietly lovely spin on Pinback's 'Loro' and a jolly version of The Breeders 'Invisible Man' are two of the standouts here."

Takes
 $12.35   
With A GHOST IS BORN, Wilco continues in the melancholy and experimental direction of the preceding YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT. Those intrigued, if not downright fascinated, by Wilco's transformation from a no-frills alt-country group to an unpredictably inventive avant pop ensemble will find plenty to marvel at on this fifth outing.
"At Least That's What You Said" begins the album quietly with Jeff Tweedy's ragged voice singing ...

| | DJ Spooky Celestial Mechanix: The Blue Series Mastermix CDs (2004)
Takes
$13.75
Horns echo over broken beats and voices ping and pong as DJ Spooky takes all of the releases in Thirsty Ear's Blue Series and gives them some serious crinkling, crumpling, and stretching on Celestial Mechanix: The Blue Series Mastermix. The challenge of the Blue Series is to take artists from different genres and break down the stylistic barriers between them. Heavy in concept for sure, but the series has offered up more than its fair share of outstanding records. Many releases have delivered on Thirsty Ear's promise of hearing "the shape of jazz to come," but Celestial Mechanix is all quirky, illbient, and echoing Spooky. Then again, with such a sprawling selection of tracks that are already unclassifiable, what was the guy to do? The tracks on the first disc are remixes that contain "elements" of different Blue Series releases, and it's the lesser of the two discs. If it wasn't for ...

Adem's heralded Homesongs was a paean to hearth and homestead, and it succeeded in spades by turning the intensely personal into the universal: home as harbor in an anthropological sense, ...

Takes
$18.95
Over the past eleven years Quinn has logged 35,000 nautical miles cruising the Caribbean and the eastern seaboard on her thirty-six foot sailboat. Miss Inclined is Quinn's fifth CD; it's clear that she's out for the long haul both as a cruiser and a songwriter. For confirmed Quinn fans, her newest offering explores known territory: songs about sailing and living aboard boats that blend humor and poignancy. She makes light of the small stuff that frustrates all boaters, such as docking in tight places, and then draws our attention to bigger issues of personal relationships and independence. But there's a slight edge to this CD largely not found in her earlier albums. She challenges listeners who are living their lives by default. Quinn draws on her cruising lifestyle, both literally and metaphorically, to encourage us to escape from convention and conformity.The message is at its most direct in "Always A Choice": you've got yourself a mortgage a day job, a wife may not love it right now but you've got yourself a life but there is always a choiceThe bluesy title track, "Miss Inclined", is a Mae West take on stepping outside of established mores in the quest for love and adventure: hear those whispers on the wind my good name maligned they used to call me Miss Upstanding now they call me Miss InclinedIn "Where Have All The Pirates Gone?", Quinn skewers the Caribbean cowboy whose dreams of a Buffett-like existence never extend beyond his perch on a bar stool: he'll bluff about the beaches the bikini babes, the boats and the endless sea of overproof on which this whole myth floatsThe theme of taking control of one's life appears again in the hard hitting "Sailing On". A terminally ill sailor chooses to cruise rather than submit to the false hope of a miracle cure. This song, though painful, is a fierce celebration of independence: well I rage against the darkness with each heartbeat ...
