I have been a Kashmir fan for several years, ever since I saw a snippet of a live performance on TV in Denmark four years ago. Since then, I have often lamented that this fabulous music was not readily available for purchase in the US. Snag this one, and then get their previous album, "The Good Life." If Amazon doesn't have it, try [...] They're located in Sweden, and they ship internationally.
As for Zitilites, I think this album is pretty solid. As the arrangements become more sophisticated, the band nevertheless makes sure that the experimentation never gets away from the song. In this, I feel that Kashmir has succeeded where Wilco fell a little short with "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot."
The reviewer who categorized Kashmir as soft-rock may be a little off. While the music often has mellow moments, there are also crunchy guitars and outright noise. Kashmir uses these tastefully and to good effect; in other words, the music is not loud for loudness' sake.
In short, get this album. You won't regret it.

This is a really solid rock album. My sister gave it to me for christmas, she has been studying in Copenhagen and told me that Kashmir is one of the more popular Danish rock groups. As soon as you put the disc on you can hear similarities with some of today's best european rock groups. I hear both Coldplay and Travis in the rythem section, also the lead singers voice reminds me of the lead singer from Travis. The fourth track is somewhat remeniscent of the beatles. Overall I would say that if you have enjoyed both Coldplay and Travis, that you will also like this album as well.

Ok, flash back with me to 2000. 'The Man Who' was a breakthrough album for Travis, and they're back in the studio with Nigel Godrich working on the follow up. (Forget the very forgettable 'Invisible Band' for just a second...) Imagine if you will- while in the studio, Travis is visited by no less than Wilco, Radiohead, Coldplay, and the soon to be Postal Service, all of whom contribute to the final product. This is the album they all could have made. Well, given that this highly improbable dream band collaboration scenario had come to fruition.
Flash forward to 2004. A little known scandanavian band by the name of Kashmir is making the music we've all been waiting for. 'Zitilites' is a glorious combination of musical influences, ranging from the pulsing techno of the Postal Service and Kid A era Radiohead, to the alt-country-neo-beatle-swirly-etherea of YHF Wilco. This album is at once breathtaking, exhilirating, and hauntingly beautiful.
There are a few moments of what can only be called borderline plagiarism (in the musical sense) that must be overlooked, but to someone like me who lives for hearing a band wear its influences on its sleeve, these moments are some of the coolest parts of the album. Shuttle ahead to 3:33 in the song "Rocket Brothers" and you'll hear the last half of "Let Down" off of 'OK Computer'. The only thing missing is the computer noise at the very end of the track. Also, the song "Surfing the Warm Industry" turns into 2+2=5 at about the midway mark. "Big Fresh" revisits the feel of 2+2=5, by way of the guitar solo in Wilco's "I'm the Man Who Loves You", and then makes an abrupt left turn and becomes the lost track off of Kid A.

I would just like to add a note to all of the comparisons to Radiohead, and unfair accusations of plagiarism of Radiohead: This album came out three months before Radiohead's Hail To The Thief, and could therefore hardly have appropriated any of it's tracks. Despite the reviewer's high opinion of the album (which was five stars), if you're going to accuse one band of copying another on a website that is probably one of their biggest outlets to the world outside Denmark, please, get your facts straight.

This album is amazing from beginning to end. My picks would be Melpomene, The Aftermath, and Petite Machine. Buy the album, and if you ever get the chance, see these guys live. They've been doing this for a long time, and they do it damn well.

I got this album solely after the single Rocket Brothers came out on MTV. I had a good feeling about it for some reason, but had a tough time getting the thing. I mean, Kashmir is still a pretty much obscure group in most parts of the world; try Googling them and you'll get very little.
But the album is DAMN GOOD, trust me on this. If you like soft rock, this is the kind of music for you. Kasper Eistrup's voice is, thankfully, not the nasal kind and you get the feeling he's really, really honest about what he's singing.
Favourite tracks include Melpomene, In the Sand and Sad Poem of Old Friend. Get the album.

I,m Danish which means I've known Kashmir for some 10 years, and people in Denmark love them (for a good reason). Their live performances are awesome by the way.
Well, if you liked rocket brothers I can only say that it's far from the best tune on this album... This album is definitely worth buying, chances of regrets are very low! The music is soft rock with very much depth and a special mellowness to it. After having heard zitilites I reckon you'd go for more Kashmir albums. DON'T MISS IT
