Do Make Say Think are one of those bands that you just happen to stumble accross. Being on the incredible record label Constellation from Canada, I picked this up because of the comparisons to godspeed you black emperor! and Tortoise. I would have to say that these two comparisons are pretty accurate. I actually like this album a lot. It kind of reminds me of a band playing dj shadow music. Here's a recap...

1978 - very jazzy rock with a slow, moody tempo. consistent.

Le'espalace - trippy beginning fading into a very beautiful guitar oriented song. the most fluid song on the album.

If I only... - another laid back song with a nice easy pace and a gentle drum beat that will chill you out for years to come.

Highway 420 - very atmospheric. minimalist intro. great for headphones since the sound travels from speaker to speaker like the music is moving around you. to me this is the dj shadow sounding song of the album with a bit of country atmosphere.

Dr. Hooch - leaving off where highway 420 ended, this song has the similar dusty road country feel with a very blunted bass line and a nice ride symbol to carry the whole song. the end becomes very funky with a cool drum beat. by now you will realize that you have a great album on your hands.

Disco & Haze - holy "drug music" beginning. i once read a reviewer say of the beginning of this song, "in one part of this song, and you'll know when you hear it, you will have to pick yourself up off the floor to look in the mirror to make sure your insides haven't shot out your nose." pretty intense nonetheless. later this songs picks back up the pace of the first five songs. also, a very beautiful, consistent song.

Onions - just a short little 1:30 min. trip.

The Fare To Get There - the final song. it's a long one. you'll have to hear this one for yourself.

My overall verdict is that this is just an incredible album. Very similar in sound to other artists, but at the same time very different. I'm hoping you'll enjoy this album as much as I did. Definately worth the purchase. Check out all artists on the Constellation label. You'll be impressed by the amount of work they put into the packaging.

5.0 out of 5 stars This album is great., March 1, 2000

Do Make Say Think have a sound somewhere between Tortoise and Godspeed You Black Emperor! If that sounds appealing to you, pick this up. Heck, even if it doesn't. Do Make Say Think write brilliant songs and they play them even better. You could almost call this album jazzy if you wanted to. A good album for sitting very still and paying very close attention to. Kind of dark. Despite the above, Do Make Say Think are absolutely positively NOT suffering from a case of the "Floyds" as other lesser "experimental" bands are sometimes prone to do.

this has to be my favorite album from DMST, though it may not be the best one to hear if your starting to get into them, then i recommend & yet & yet(their all-around best album)or Winter Hymn(best put-together). This is perfect "after-midnight" space out music. very highly recommended.
