5.0 out of 5 stars IN A WORLD OF DISPOSABLE POP...TRASHMONK IS WORTH KEEPING..., November 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mona Lisa Overdrive (Audio CD)

So refreshing to hear this kind of music. It is creative, non rock ego, imaginative & cathartic. In a world where pop music sounds good, but you are usually able to tell exactly where it is going, where it will take you next...what it reminds you of... I give TRASHMONK 5 stars because you don't know where the beautiful music is going to next. And this is a nice suprise... it doesn't remind me of anyone new. It's original and easy to listen to. Definetely sophisticated music for people who like to be "taken" by music. Remember Dream Academy? This is the lead singer, and he sounds better than ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling portrait of the artist, November 10, 1999

Filled with highs and lows, never stopping at middle ground, Trashmonk takes the listener on an emotional journey, and it's quite a trip. At times reminiscient of musical influences such as the Beatles, John Lennon, Nick Drake, Nirvana... Don't miss it!

5.0 out of 5 stars I worked on this record, April 23, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Mona Lisa Overdrive (Audio CD)

While we were making this record we listened to. Nick Drake - Pink Moon,
Nico - Chelsea Girl, Van Morrison - Astral Weeks, Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen, Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks and we listened to Stina Nordenstam's People are Strange after it was all finished. (we liked that too)
Relationships started and ended during the course of making this record, and many of those highs and lows are reflected. It is an honest record and you don't get many of those anymore. Mr Karma is the spitual origin of the Album, you can hear it on the "extra tracks" version on the album.
