5.0 out of 5 stars The crooner who came from the cold, May 22, 2000

This first album by an unknown Swede got 200% deserved critical acclaim when it was released here (France) a couple years ago, but I passed it by at the time while making a mental note to see what it's like if I got the occasion. Now I feel like someone who would have been offered Nokia shares ten years ago and wd have turned the offer down: cheated, gutted, angry for having lived all along without Jay Jay's soothing voice. It's such a strange and warm and delicate sound that comes from Johanson's emaciated body, with a bit of Scott Walker in it and undeniably clever arrangements: strings and beats and godknowswhat, that locate this album in time (it couldn't possibly have been there before Portishead and the other Bristol sound pioneers) but just fail to make it sound "dated". Jog alskar dig Jay Jay!

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb trip-hop experience, March 29, 2000

First time I heard Jay Jay Johanson was in 1998 in one of those European MTV night mixes and since Whiskey came out it has been hardly a week that I didn't listen to a track or two from this masterpiece. If your brain wavelength is in synch with Portishead and Tricky you will fall in love with sophisticated, laid back and mellow sound of this Swedish band.

This is back in 1997 during a summer in Provence that I discovered Jay jay J. This singer is great. The music a bit electro and the weird voice creates something that I haven't heard since The Cure. That album is great and quiet.
