5.0 out of 5 stars
enchanting!, June 21, 2005
This review is from: Spine to Sea (Audio CD)
Wow. I am really happy with this album. The songs are float around your head hours after you've heard it, waiting for you to pop back in the cd player.
Although there are only 8 songs, it clocks in at around 50 minutes. Long songs? You'd never know it. Angie's voice hangs in the air like a pied piper. Think Cocteau Twins or Jesse Sykes. Great album!

Just the sort of stuff I expect from Eyvind Kang, June 25, 2005
This review is from: Spine to Sea (Audio CD)
I've been enjoying Mistress Eyvind on records by Andrew Drury and Aiko Shimada. And it's a relief to hear modern-day pop-music arrangements that incorporate non-electronic instruments. (Bassoons and violas continue to exist, ya know. I can promise you. I've seen them with my own eyes. I haven't heard them too much, of course. But I can assure you that they're still out there somewhere.)
Thom Yorke's female-vocal-doppelganger has finally reared her scrumptious head in the form of Angie Benintendi. And let's face it, she's a lot easier on the ears than Thom is.
My favorite passage is the extended coda of 123. I have a pet name for that 2-note motif. I call it Lenthoven. Coz it sounds like a cross between John Lennon and Beethoven.
