5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, mood enhancing bliss-pop, May 17, 2000

As a fan of Luscious Jackson, I was always curious as to what was lurking beneath Vivian Trimble's guarded persona. The Kostars record gave a hint. Now all is revealed With Josephine Wiggs (EX Breeders at their best!) on this album, of perfect soundtracked lushness. A bit of Stereolab, a touch of Air and a healthy drop of movie music adds to the intoxication. The aural equivelent of a night out with perfect strangers who become your best friends. I love this. The track sung in French is a delight and Emmy Lou Harris puts in a haunting visit on Cup of Coffee. My Summer soundtrack!

Being a mood music fan in the likes of Saint Etienne and Cocteau Twins, I found this CD irresistible. Great stuff. Do not purchase this CD if you are looking for Luscious Jackson-ish music because 'Roll the Dice' is the closest you'll get. However, if you are looking for a very original and 'smooth as silk' CD, this is it. As with any mellow album, you'll need to listen to the entire disk a couple of times ... and then you're hooked. My sole complaint is that the disk leaves you wanting more songs (it's only 43 minutes long). All tracks are great, but my personal favourites are 'You Freed Yourself', 'Regrets in Bordertown', and 'Dusty Trails Theme'. Enjoy.

An eclectic combination of soothing harmonies with modern trance or ambient instrumentals layered beneath it all. This is a great relaxing disc or great for driving on a nice summer's day. It has a wonderful sound quality and really shines on a good home or car stereo. While it may short on socially redeeming subjects, the lyrics are interesting and do offer some insight into the world of the lyricist. Will this disc change the world? No, but then it may make a bad world somewhat more palatable. Enjoy!
