5.0 out of 5 stars why didn't i hear of them sooner?, March 6, 2000

This review is from: Heroine (Audio CD)

the first time i heard of the wild strawberries was when i heard the song 'i don't want to think about it' on the foxfire soundtrack. it was a great song, so i decided to get the cd, hoping there were a few other good songs on the album. heroine turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. i found that as much as i loved the first track, it was way down on my list of favorites from the cd. heroine is one of those rare cds that i can listen to without wanting to skip a single track. the title track is great, and the true gem on this cd is the haunting 'everybody loves you when you're dead' which keeps you thinking long after you've finished listening to the cd. combined, the richness of the music, the poetic lyrics, and her beautiful accent make this a must have for any collection... i'd bet that long after i've sold my other cds from the time period, i'll still be listening to heroine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Canadian, eh!, February 9, 2001

This review is from: Heroine (Audio CD)

An excellent album from Canadian couple Ken and Roberta Harrison. Roberta's voice is very dreamy in the Margot Timmins (Cowboy Junkies) style. Ken plays a variety of instruments on this album, including piano, organ, and guitars, plus he wrote all the songs. On the first 2 tracks Sarah McLachlan plays guitars, and on various tracks Ashwin Sood (Sarah's husband) plays the drums and other instruments. This is a dreamy album...synth rock/pop at its best. The booklet contains all lyrics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bjork gone Canada, December 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Heroine (Audio CD)

Both this album and Quiver are excellent. The instrumention, sound and mix are something like Bjork - modern, clever, sophisticated - but where Bjork would go operatic, the Wild Strawberries have gone '60s black-girl electro-pop. A lot of quirky character in the music and a lot of fun. A truly great electro-pop band.
