4.0 out of 5 stars psychpopcandy - this is a great after-midnight album!, June 3, 2004

well, I wish I had owned this a few months ago while I was still in college...Let's just say this is a great after midnight listen - I'm not advocating smoking pot...but if you're gonna, this cd would be a great counterpart to that activity - seriously though, lush pop, great melodies - haven't paid much attention to the lyrics - this is like candy - a very enjoyable listen, probably worth 3 and 1/2 stars, but since that's not an option it gets for. as an enjoyer of good packaging and cover art though, I must say the album cover is fairly ridiculous - not worthy of the lovely music inside - but don't let that stop you from buying it!

5.0 out of 5 stars DONK! What a hit to the head!, February 27, 2004

Wow. A fully psycedelic trip through Farmer Dave & Jimi Hey's head. On the first listen I thought I couldn't make any sense out of it. Crazy crashing echoes and melodies and multi-tracked phsychedilic doo-dah boom bahs galore. But after a few more spins the odd becomes familiar and then the familiar becomes great. After a dedicated headphone session I must say all that was murky has been revealed and THIS ALBUM IS FLAT OUT GENIUS! It's very LA in it's cut-up sensibility. There's so much good stuff out there, the trick is to find a way to mash it all together and still somehow keep things coherent. Well, they definitey got it all in there. A fat hit of dub, some definite twang, some tape echo insanity, and tons of overlapping ideas, sounds, and melodies. Fall Down #7 features vocals that are twisted and bent back on themselves to such an extent that you dont know if it's the cd that's gone haywire or if it's your brain that's on the blink. It's the same effect Syd Barrett's "No Good Trying" has on a listener.

It's adventurous, and exciting, and freaky as all that. Thanks for the trip boys. I think I'll stay for a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars psychedelic wonderland!!!, February 28, 2010

A spin-off of Beachwood Sparks, this one album incarnation is AWESOME!!!
Think: Magical Mystery Tour/ For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite, I Am The Walrus Beatles, Moody Blues, Jimi Hendrix's sonic segway portion of " 1983...(A Mermaid...)moon, turn the tides", from Electric Ladyland...... a little early Pink Floyd, spaceman shaman DMT-Mescalito magic organic cosmic voices blending harmony shifting melting beauty.
A mystery why Spirit Stereo Frequency is still unknown. A masterpiece of recording , editing , musicianship, and spirit.
