5.0 out of 5 stars Sonos Creates the Most Satisfying Music I've Encountered This Year, September 17, 2009

This group is extraordinary. Every cut on this album is an "A side" work of art. I recently saw Sonos live at their album release performance which took place at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, and the show was stunning - filled with personality, humor and action, but most of all, killer harmonies and incomparable arrangements. This is simply wonderful music. Sonos has taken a dip into the rich pool of music found in the uber hip indie scene and applied their vocal magic to create reinventions of the originals that will paint elaborate images in your mind. This music points to the fact that composers of wonderful music may not necessarily be the best performers of their creations. (Think of Burt Bacharach's performances versus Dionne Warwick's interpretations of his music.) The rich, complex, dynamic arrangements created by Sonos in this album beg for another listen, and another , and another. The best way to appreciate what they have done is to buy the album and immerse yourself in their world. If you ever have the opportunity to see them live, don't miss it.

5.0 out of 5 stars AH-MAZING!, September 15, 2009

What a refreshing new band! In the land of overly-produced music that is nothing but computers, I love that they are creating everything with pure vocal talent. Definitely a fun buy for fans of the original artist. I can only imagine the original artists are hugely flattered and impressed. It will be perfect for party mixes, because the songs are conversation piece as well as entertainment. I am very happy with this purchase and wish this group all the success in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars so very sonos, September 17, 2009

I've been a fan of this group for a while, having seen them live several times. This album blows me away. It's interesting, gorgeous, eclectic (but not in a you can't listen to the whole thing at once kind of way), and to be slightly cheesy, it's joyous. I like that you can hear personality all through it, aka, it's not overproduced like so much out there is these days. I definitely recommend this!
