5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably Good, August 12, 2003
By 
Scott McFarland (Manassas, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cypress/Afoot (Audio CD)
This is some of the best rock/pop to have been recorded in the 1980's. It was perhaps too good, too deep to be perceived by the masses as such, despite the fact that bandleader Mitch Easter was a reigning "hip priest" due to his role in R.E.M.'s first three records and a host of other projects.

Easter's production of these records is rather great, full of pastoral sounds and colors layered on top of the band. His material is rather strong. The band play rather well. All in all, it's the state of the art for independent music circa 1984 and it's astonishingly good. However good you think this might be, it's better. In a fairer world, this would have been bigger than U2 or R.E.M. (as would the dBs' first two albums).

5.0 out of 5 stars pure pop euphoria !, July 12, 2005
By 
Chase Leon (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cypress/Afoot (Audio CD)
If heaven is going to have a "pop" soundtrack playing at all times, then my friends, this is THE CD that should fit the bill. It is about as irresistable and satisfying as a pure pop album can be, with plenty of goodies and surprises in store for all pop and rock fans. Why this band didn't become a household name in the 80's will forever be a mystery and a big mistake. Simply put, it doesn't get any better than this. I would highly encourage music lovers in general to purchase this CD. You absolutely, positively can not go wrong. Your money will be well invested.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pop perfection, August 16, 2004
By 
J. Brady (PAWLEYS ISLAND, SC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cypress/Afoot (Audio CD)
Incredibly smart yet accessible. Instantly catchy but not disposable. And more playful than the ( mostly ) willfully obscure early REM. These two long - unavailable albums ( on one cd, no less...YES !! ) are, simply put, some of the best pop music of the 1980's.
