5.0 out of 5 stars all warm and warbly, dreamy and bouncy, fun and fuzzy, January 22, 2006

By	Aquarius Records (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

Finally, the seemingly impossible to get full length release from this amazing Icelandic organ-synthesizer-keyboard combo gets a proper widespread release! Think Stereolab, Trans Am, Kraftwerk, M83, mix in a little Add N To (X), a little Postal Service and you'll be in the ballpark. From straight-up Stereolab worship, the first track is the best Stereolab song that never was (albeit with a Speak And Spell on lead vocals), to full on synth-rock with buzzy guitars and huge thick burping fuzz organ basslines with cool Kraftwerky computer vocals, to blissy M83 style romantic fuzzscapes, to goofy burbly loungy bleep and bloop, to some distinctly Kraftwerkian krautrock. AOQ's quadruple organ attack is tough to beat. You know how when a band had two guitarists, maybe three, it just made the guitar sound that much thicker and in your face, well, just imagine FOUR ORGANS rocking full on! Woah! And one of the organs just so happens to be manned by Johan Johannsson (who also produced the record). In the past various AOQ members have worked with the likes of Marc Almond, Hafler Trio, Sigur Ros, Barry Adamson, Stillupsteypa, Mum, Pan Sonic and even Hermann Nitsch! But you won't find any blood soaked cacophony here. Nope, this is all warm and warbly, dreamy and bouncy, fun and fuzzy.

Gorgeous cover art featuring oil paintings of the various members of the band as Playmobile figures!!

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic!, January 15, 2005

By	S. A. Murphy - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very unique & creative. I first heard Apparat on a PBS show about music from Iceland. I fell in love with the clip they played and ordered my CD frome Iceland. I like to mix up their songs with other music and I always get asked "what group is this?". I hope they come out with more CD's!
