4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent production; playing time disappointing, September 5, 2002

This review is from: Music of the Spheres (Audio CD)

I really like this CD. I don't have a multiple cd player, but if I did, I'd like to hear it mixed-up with Golden Greats, Ian's previous album. Some of the keyboard sounds are almost identical, which is cool and establishes album-to-album continuity (William Orbit does this, too). Rhythims are similar, similar teture. Regarding Sphere's, in particular, Ian comes out in full-force, exhibiting great song writing skills and a knack for melody, maybe more so than on Golden Greats.

I like this record a lot. It's tough to place it, because it's dense. I doubt this is going to be released domestically. Go ahead and spend the 20 bones. There's not a lot of material out there worth even 5 bucks. Spheres will quench your thirst for quality.

This review is from: Music of the Spheres (Audio CD)

In my opinion there are only two survivors from the terrible 90s. Massive Attack and Ian Brown, because from all the bull... of comercial music and indie-one-record-wonders these are the guys that reinvent themselves and make great albums. There are many great musicians out there, but it takes more to it than just being a musician, someone great must have style, MIND (something lacking in todays music) and vision. Ian Brown has all this and more...

4.0 out of 5 stars No Monkey Show, April 2, 2002

This review is from: Music of the Spheres (Audio CD)

Forget the Burk who wrote the title review, this album is probably the Monkeyman's best yet. Yes, we all loved the Roses albums in the '80's ; but, alas, they are never gonna come back. Ian has moved on and created a GREAT album in the midst of all the balnd baloney that is festering our landscape out there in USA!
