4.0 out of 5 stars an interesting blend, February 8, 2000
snowpony's music is interesting, if not wholly engaging. it provides the link between the early '90s british alternative "shoegazing" scene and the mid-late '90s trip-hop explorations of the british community. snowpony combine wall-of-sound guitar soundscapes with weird samples and horn loops. with members of stereolab and my bloody valentine, there are obvious comparisons to those bands here, but it's also reminiscent of luscious jackson and solex, while being different enough from its influences to be original. the songs are great examples of pop craft, intelligently constructed with samples and loops as much as with conventional playing. overall, an interesting and satisfying listen. cool bonus: check out the sample of sonic youth's "100%" in "3 can keep a secret (if 2 are dead)."

4.0 out of 5 stars Listen again!, October 1, 1999
By A Customer
Okay, you saw the package design and it said "ex-members of My Bloody Valentine and Stereolab" so you purchased it! Whoa, not exactly the sound you expected was it? This was my experience. I didn't really know if I liked this album because I was sort of expecting Stereolab vocals with My Bloody Valentine music. After listening a few times I decided to let go of my expectations and listen to this album with a new sense of objectivity. It took a few listens before I actually realized how complex this album is! The music is full of nuances that, once discovered, really captivate the listener. Katherine Gifford's vocals seem flat but yet it lends itself to the music by the mere contrast that it is. Snowpony has a unique sound and I would love to hear more from this band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, March 22, 2004
By 
Reading the mixed reviews of this cd I was a little surprised. People seem to have wanted it to be a sound-a-like of Stereolab and My Bloody Valentine. The 2 differ so much I can't see that that is at all realistic. There are influences of both sounds, but this debut stands on its own two feet. It's shoegazing for the post shoegazing era; it's a wall of beautiful noise. I had not listened to it in a few years and rediscovered it while programming music for my online internet radio station, www.radioioROCK.com. I then had to load it into my ipod so I could take with me everywhere, and have started tracks over several times just to hear the intricate manipulation of sounds. Listen to "Easy Way Down", "Way to Survive", and "Snow White" to see why this cd is still amazing after 6 years. MORE than worth checking out.
