Beatles, Beach Boys, Jellyfish Fans - BUY THIS NOW, March 29, 2005
This review is from: Time Machine (Audio CD)
A terrific follow-up to "A Little Trip," "Time Machine" never fails to delight the listener with instantly memorable melodies and brilliantly considered arrangements. If you love The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Jellyfish, Fountains of Wayne, XTC -- and you know who you are -- it is inconceivable to me that you will not love Vinyl Kings. A splendid time is guaranteed for all!

Something New for You, February 21, 2005
This review is from: Time Machine (Audio CD)
Let's face it it seemed like the Vinyl Kings had painted themselves into a corner with their first album "A Little Trip" which evoked the Beatles with out copying them, a favorite CD of mine (thank goodness, if it was an LP I would have worn it out.
So here they are, having painted themselves in a corner so what do they do? They smash the window and take you out to the country and into new fields (and not all of them strawbery).
"A Little Trip" gets you into things quickly with the title song, you know where you are going. With "Time Machine" a few rides are needed to appreicate all that is going on around you. Ultimately I find it an album that has to be peeled back slowly to appreciate it all.
Like the Amazon review says there are a lot of different styles being thrown on the table, the Beatles are there long with the Beach Boys and some hints of the Kinks and the Who making it to the party.
You are going to have to buy a lot more CDs to find one as enjoyable as this one. So take a little trip in your time machine. You won't be sorry.

This album shows how unfair the fickle world is. This deserves to be a HUGE hit. Unfortunately it will only ever be known to the few people lucky enough to stumble over it. If you haven't already bought it do it now!!
