5.0 out of 5 stars Thank You, March 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Sky at Night (Audio CD)

Thank you Love Tractor for producing one of the most beautiful and original albums by any artist of the past 5 years.

It is about time these guys got the credit they deserve as one of the pioneers of American Alt Rock and The Sky at Night proves (once again) that Love Tractor is light years ahead of the pack.

Not only does this recording sound like nobody else (which is entirely refreshing), but you can believe the fact that less original bands are already lining up to cop their sound!

5.0 out of 5 stars ...pull that plow!, June 12, 2001

If you've read as many of these reviews as I have, you can get a little tired of all the adulation heaped upon bands that are really just average (except to their fans, that is). OK, I'll concede that music is a personal thing, and if you have a taste for [junk], then you should be permitted all of it that you can imbibe. But, PLEASE don't tell me something is a musical masterpiece if it's just ordinary stuff!

This is NOT ordinary; it's extraordinary, and I'm no Love Tractor fan! Believe every word written by previous reviewers. The production is truly superb. You can feel the sound of acoustic guitar strings being plucked; the subtle silence between notes. The only album I've heard which has better production is Hank Dogs, but I won't get into that here. Suffice to say that this is not wall of sound stuff, or ambient noodlings either.

The song-writing is excellent. The tunes flow with the lyrics rather than fighting each other (as often happens when one person writes the music and another the words). "Christ among the Children" is outstanding in this regard.

This CD will grab you and pull you in, to the point where you're only disappointment will be that the disk isn't longer. Buy this NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad track in the bunch!, May 23, 2002

By A Customer

Okay, I admit it, I'm a fan. I have been following Love Tractor since it was a party band at the University of Georgia (God, has it been twenty years already!), always impressed with their unique sound. It's been WAY too long since their last recording, but this one is worth the wait. The guitar playing is delightful, and the production value on this CD is absolutely world-class. This is a tight group with an engaging style. This is perfect roll-down-the-window-and-drive-with-the-volume-turned-up summer road travelling music. Great stuff, highly recommended.
