5.0 out of 5 stars glimpse of heaven, November 8, 1999
By 
This review is from: Drum (Audio CD)
I had considered the possibility that I only love this album because I was exposed to it at an early enough age where I had heard nothing like it before & so it made a great impression but I didn't know enough about music to be objective. Twelve years later when I listen to it my jaw hits the floor just as it did the first time I heard it. This is the most gorgeous album to ever come from a self-professed "art-rock" combo (Talking Heads included). The closest points of reference would be the Cocteau Twins & Brian Eno, but you really have to hear this music for yourself. The basics: 2 Bass Guitars (played tastefully & impeccably by Tim Sommer & Adam Peacock), a violin (played by Hahn Rowe, who recently released an album of drum'n'bass music under the name Somatic), and the unique vocal stylings of one Mimi Goese (whose first solo album 'Soak' was one of last year's best releases)... Both 'drum' and the follow-up 'Mettle' are works of art that defy easy description or categorization, suffice to say that once you add them to your collection you'll treasure them, and be annoyed as hell that they didn't stay together to make more music for the ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modest masterpiece, September 18, 2003
By 
C. Gardner (Washington D.C., D.C. United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Drum (Audio CD)
"Drum" is a great album. The simple arrangements for guitar, bass, mandolin, violin, and organ render Mimi Goese's beautiful voice all the more powerful, embedded in an atmosphere of chamber music, or folk songs in slow-motion...Best played in your house in hazy summer with all the windows open, the smell of thunder and ozone in the air. The title's ironic; not a drum to be found here but for the penultimate (and best) track, "Second Skin."

5.0 out of 5 stars breathtaking, June 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Drum (Audio CD)
i used to go see hugo largo in the late 80's as a teenager in n.y. Never have I forgotten their music although they had disappeared from the music scene. I have had the album since those days and was thrilled to come across the fact that they have c.d.'s. recently, i was introduced to the music of the band Rasputina, who seem to be on the same track that hugo largo was on. i only wish that hugo largo would resurface so i could introduce others to their brilliance. Buy this c.d.
