Damon and Naomi's psych-atmospheric music cannot exactly be defined. However, their mood, emotion given to you can exactly be caught in every second of songs, of the albums. In the "Earth is Blue", this fact is more precise now. Their musical ability in the album is like flying at higher levels in the sky with the colaboration of Ghost guitarist Michio Kurihara as a virtual third group member, penetrated into Damon and Naomi's earth creating the most satisfying and sheerly transfixing work of the twosome's career...Naomi's cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", moreover, is going to weep you so high that the next song, "Ueno Station", with its melodramic and tasteful melody, becomes a definite classic in your brain. This album, in my opinion, is the peak of Damon & Naomi's career. Deserved to be bought.

4.0 out of 5 stars definitely among their best, December 10, 2009

This is a great release from a great band, obviously a labor of love for Damon and Naomi---I doubt they're getting massive royalty checks on a weekly basis for their work, but they certainly make the world a nicer place to live. There are 4 or 5 downright gorgeous tunes on this release, the opening track "Beautiful Close Double" being my favorite. I have to say I prefer the tunes where Naomi takes the lead and Damon fills in with harmonies, but they are brilliant whenever they blend their voices together. They're also assisted by the guitarist from the Japanese band Ghost, who supplies some beautiful leads, and generally adds color to the proceedings.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good music, but drags on a bit., August 15, 2005

When I got this, I was expecting indie rock mixed with a little jazz. I got what I expected, only it's a lot slower than I had hoped. By themselves, the songs are good, but I just can't listen to this album all the way through. 'Ueno Station' is a perfect example of how I feel about the album; good music that could drive me insane if I listened to it all the time.
