4.0 out of 5 stars Hypnotic (perhaps to a fault), May 24, 2000

This review is from: KCRW: Morning Becomes Eclectic (Audio CD)

Of the 5 CDs released by KCRW, this is my favorite. They are all very good, but "Morning Becomes Eclectic" has more of my favorite music. The covers by Mehldau and Martyn are amazing, as is PJ Harvey's performance. I was also pleasantly surprised by "All I Need." And for those of you who prefer something a little more firmiliar, Semisonic and Sixpence None The Richer add their two cents. All together this is a great record. If there is one flaw, it is that the songs are all on the soft side, which means there is always the risk of being lulled to sleep or into some kind of trance. Not that that's a bad thing -- and considering all of this music was recorded on a morning show, it's understandable. I highly reccomend the whole series.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good group of songs., December 27, 1999

I purchased the disc mainly for the Air song (which is great) - standout tracks are by Beth Orton, Cake, PJ Harvey (real good version of Is This Desire?), Brad Mehldau and Morcheeba. A nice treat is the song 'Glory Box' sung by John Martyn - the song is a cover of the Portishead tune by the same name. Get it when you are craving a new disc - it will suffice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lyle Lovett's "Bears", April 1, 2003

The simple performance of Lyle Lovett and his guitar doing
Steven Fromholz' "Bears" written in 1974 is why I bought this CD
after hearing it on the air at KCRW. Great energy, in a
special knowing way ! The other music is great too, by far
KCRW's best compilation. Stunningly good studio quality recordings
for live radio show performances, which they all are. You'll love it !
