5.0 out of 5 stars If you don't buy this record, God won't like you, November 17, 2004

From NOTES FROM HAMPSTEAD by Elias Canetti: "I cannot help myself. In the greatest misfortune I, the unbeliever, await miracles. Of all the old doctrines of faith, only one has remained intact for me: the miracle. But I don't want to know where it comes from; I don't want to make one happen. It should remain just what it is, inexplicable, intractable, just a miracle."

From Lester Bangs's review of ASTRAL WEEKS: "Because you're in trouble anyway when you sit yourself down to explicate just exactly what a mystical document, which is exactly what ASTRAL WEEKS is, means. For one thing, what it means is Richard Davis's bass playing, which complements the songs and singing all the way with a lyricism that's something more than just great musicianship: there is something about it that's more than inspired, something that has been touched, that's in the realm of the miraculous."

I feel the same way about Dan Littleton's guitarsmanship on a track called MAYBELLE. (And I love how Liz's violin-voice is complemented by Karla's viola-voice.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Haunted folk-pop, July 25, 2000

Amid stories of sleeping cities that hum underneath pink moonlight and dreaming lovers who sit on fire escapes, Elizabeth Mitchell's hushed, at-your-elbow voice both haunts and caresses the material. At the same time, piano, strings adn close harmonies lift these songs like an open-window breeze blowing motes of memory through a dusty room.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ida's best work, April 26, 2003

This album is amazing. Will You Find Me was the first Ida album that I bought, it set Ida up there as one of my favorite bands with Radiohead and Elliott Smith. I must have listened to this album for a month staight and it never lost its effect on me, and I still enjoy listening to it now. Ida create's a sound that is so delicate, beautiful, and strangely powerful that I have never heard anyone that comes close to a comparison. The songs on this album have the ability to take you back to the an exact moment in your life when you first heard them. I think this is the most complete Ida recording they have put out, it really is Ida at their best, a work of brillience. I own cd's that are more melodic than this and I own cd's that rock more than this, but this is by far the most delicately beautiful album Ie own, BUY IT!
