On a fluke I stumbled into a skateboard shop in San Mateo and instantly my ears had the musical equivelent of Divine Enlightment...reminiscent of the spacey Verve or Chemical Brothers tunes combined with the melancholic & haunting sounds of Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star-where are you?) but, with an individualized/personal core. I've since purchased five more to give to friends...nice to see a home-boy make good!This is a solid "Buy".

OK at first you listen to this album and you're like, "Hmmm, pretty good but maybe a little boring." Then you listen to it again, and you're change your mind! "What was I thinking??" Mark Bianchi, who is ALL BY HIMSELF, Her Space Holiday, brings such a unique talent to this recording. How does he do it? Well, he has a knack for knowing how to overlap sounds so that songs remain interesting. The understated guitars sound great with the dreamy, spacey, electronic sounds and the soft vocals. His lyrics tend to be on the emotional and sad side, but they leave you really "into" the music. (the best kind!...that's why Her Space Holiday was the perfect opening band for Bright Eyes.) My favorite track has to be "Sleeping Pills," because it is his most up-beat and catchy song...plus I'm an insomniac so it's my theme song. But his remake of Bright Eyes' "Compare and Contrast" adds a unique flare with it's artsy, floaty instrumentals. Mmmmmm, soooo good. You have to go with this one. Plus, it's TWO discs for the price of one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hallelujah for this., June 28, 2001

This record is a wonderful soundtrack for dimly lit, insomnia-laden late nights with a book. Enough depth to listen intently, but marvelous as dreamy, sweetly melancholy background music as well. A great synthesis of beats and acoustics, rich textures and vivid singer-songwriterly songs. Hurrah for Her Space Holiday.
