I cannot figure out why more people do not have this CD in their collection. It had everything going for it. Maybe it's because it came out before Belle and Sebastian had built its army of doe-eyed followers. Maybe the waning neo-lounge set found it too earnest and intellectual. Maybe the Papas Fritas people were too busy listening to Papas Fritas. Whatever the reason, I have yet to meet another soul who owns this CD, and very few who have ever heard of the band. Along with The Swirlies' "They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons", Belle and Sebastian's "Tiger's Milk" (yes our station was one of the lucky ones that got the original vinal pressing--I was the first person to take it out of the jacket and play it), and anything by Yo La Tengo or Johnathan Richman, this was my favorite album to play from on my ultra-hip weekly college radio show in 1997, and it's still one of my favorites now that I'm a very un-cool corporate drone with a paunch.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece, August 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Beverley Atonale (Audio CD)

This record is the secret indie masterpiece of the 90's. Haunting lyrics, lilting melodies and genuine yearning permeate its tracks and take the listener to a melancholic yet strangely happy place. Powerful.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful wonderful wonderful, December 24, 1998

The haunting, meloncholy, upbeat, smoothe, relaxing and obnoxious are what my friends have said. If you are a Velvet Underground fan, you'll love this album. Track 1 gets your attention before going into a queasy mood before Rushes of Pure Spring relaxes and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling. One of my favorite lyrics - "I want to get stuck outside in the rain with you"
