5.0 out of 5 stars A GOOD CONCEPT, January 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Peaks (Audio CD)

Klaatu's first album hit #1 because of the rumors of them being the Beatles secretly back together. This made a lot of people, including myself, buy their first album. What many people found out that it wasn't the beatles. However, their music was fantastic and many people became a fan. Peaks is basically a greatest hits collection. Even though they didn't have "hits" themselves "Calling Occupants" was recorded by none other than the carpenters and became a hit for them. They had a few single releases and one of the best is "We're Off You Know." If you haven't heard any of their music you are in for a big surprise. This CD shouldn't be the first you listen to. You need to buy their first CD which is actually their first two albums put on one CD. The second album "Hope" is sort of like the B side of the Beatles Abbey Road in a sense that every song is tied together. It is a "spaced out" CD literally considering that the majority of their songs have a space concept in them. They had 6 albums in all. The first 4 were good ones. It is worth the money to get these CD's.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to Klaatu, December 15, 1998

This review is from: Peaks (Audio CD)

This compilation, though late in materializing, is a good introduction to the band. For those who are unable to get copies of the individual CDs this is the next best thing. I recommend this compilation only if you cannot buy the seperate CDs. To get the full impact of Hope, you need to hear it from start to finish. The booklet has some nice photos and discography information in it. This set just shows how sad it is that this band did not receive thier well deserved credit while they were together.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost all of the best, March 26, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Peaks (Audio CD)

I have vintage copies of the first 3 albums of Klaatu (3:47, Hope and Sir Army Suit. I also owned a Capitol squish CD of 3:47 and Hope. The music presented in this mix is the most of the best that they have produced. The music clarity is unpresidented. It appears they took the orginal tracks and used them for this release, not the Capitol mix. The only tracks missing that also represent some more of the best are: Mr. Manson, Prelude, Long Live Politzania, Silly Boys, Sell Out Sell Out, A Million Miles Away, and Magentaline.
I hope they will release these also soon, or their later albums presented in the same way.
