5.0 out of 5 stars Get Back In the Car, November 21, 2000

I love this album. There is so much going on, and yet it's all very subtle. It is electronica, but warm and organic sounding. Some of it is pop music. It is music to drive to at night. It is densely layered, but full of space (sonically speaking).

Kevin Moore collaborated with Steve Tushar on this one. Steve programmed the beats and co-produced - I honestly thought at least some of the the programmed drums were live until I read otherwise. Kevin plays bass and lays on the keyboards and samples. Some of the nice touches include the use of a vocoder, and vinyl hum sampled off a Neil Young record. Dave Iscove rounds off the album with some sparse but warm guitar work - check out his wah pedal work on track 3.

I enjoy the singing and lyrics, and sampling, because they are often about such banal and mundane things; Kevin has written a couple of songs about, really, nothing.

I would say this album epitomizes what I look for in richness of sound, subtle syncopations, songwriting, and musical "space". Buy this album, play it in your car and drive somewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful piece of work by Moore, May 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: You Go Now (Audio CD)

This album is one of the best that I have purchased in a long time. If you like to "space out" this is the album for you. Kevin Moore did a fantastic job mixing the music with the strange but fitting samples. Definetly a space theme in this cd, but it is worth buying, without a doubt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music for a lonely late-night drive, December 7, 2003

This album is all about atmosphere. There's some excellent musicianship present, some quality composition, and some intriguing lyrics, but in the end this album is about eliciting an emotion. It's music for driving alone, late at night, halfway through a long journey.

There are no bad songs on this disc, and removing any of them would lessen the album's impact. The first track serves as a moody, sweeping introduction, immediately setting the tone for the rest of the album. The second track introduces the other half of the album's sound, the more ambient half, and it's full speed ahead from there. "Lunar" is spectacular, a bossa nova take on the Crystal Method's "High Roller," if you can imagine that. "Please Hang Up" is absurdly bizzare, but is also achingly beautiful. "Astronaut Down" is the last anthemic blast, and the album winds down with "You Go Now," a perfect echo of everything that's come before. It's hard to imagine an album better suited to a lonely night on the interstate.

This is not a perfect album, but it's closer than I could come. If you plan on driving through Iowa at about 10 PM in the near future, this is a must-own.
