4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Aalbum From a Solid Artist, January 5, 2001
By A Customer
Bloom's second album, after his stunning debut "Riverside," was, perhaps, destined to disappoint by comparison, but the fact that it comes so close to matching is a bold testament to his talents.

This album begins with the startling "Mary Watches Everything," and ends with the simple, but decidedly NOT silly, love song "Be Well." In between we get another impressive set of Luka originals, mixed in with a pair of terrific covers, the Elvis standard "Can't Help Falling In Love," and a wild version of LL Cool J's (yes, that's right) "I Need Love." All and all a first rate album from a first rate artist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mellow moods and acoustic jams..., September 23, 2002
By A. Ort "aorto" (Youngstown, Ohio) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's difficult to describe this album as it has a really unique style and sound. For some reason, the word 'cool' comes to mind.

I first heard Luka Bloom on some obscure video channel playing his rendition of L.L. Cool J's 'I Need Love'. Luka Bloom's version is fantastic. Rather than drum beats and rap you'll find the acoustic guitar and Luka's accent while 'rapping' setting the song apart. It's worth it for this song alone.

As with many pleasantly surprising finds, the rest of the songs are also fantastic. There are some mellow pieces and some rather rocking pieces, all driven by his acoustic guitar. Yet there are other subtle instrumentations that make their way into your hearing with repeated listenings. It has grown on me over the years and I have yet to tire of it. A good find if you're looking for something a bit apart from the mainstream.

4.0 out of 5 stars Acoustic,Celtic,Poetic, December 29, 2000
Bittersweet poetry and haunting tunes make The Acoustic Motorbike a worthy addition to any music collection. The sound will stay with you long after a listen and the occasionally silly song, like the title track, makes a welcome change from the sense of pain that pervades the music. Even a cover of "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" sounds as if the singer knows that this will be a big mistake.
