2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, April 3, 2002
By 
Alec in Maine (Maine Coast, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sparta (Audio CD)
great song list, yet the samples sound as though they are rushing through the set. at first I was thrilled for another live samples set, only to be disappointed by the result. stick with transmission for your live samples cd.

4.0 out of 5 stars sparta review, December 21, 2000
By 
matt (baltimore, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sparta (Audio CD)
even with a new drummer, sam young of the winebottles, the samples continue to express their music integrity through soaring harmonies and backbeats as melodic as the lyrics themselves. although this album represents another take on previously released material as well as two new songs (landing on the sidewalk and water under the bridge, the album itself evidences superb musicianship in an ever-changing industry. with songs like 'feel us shaking' and 'giants', the idea is clear: folky-pop hooks that grab you and have you always wanting more from one of the best bands to emerge from the boulder,CO scene.
