5.0 out of 5 stars IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN, June 2, 1999

By	[e-mail] (England) - See all my reviews

Born on the wrong planet is full diverse styles of music. Bluegrass, jazz-rap, country, latin, rock and whatever that drum-thing might be ("Diggin In"). Its full of songs, but its mainly an instrumental affair. The quality of playing is astoundingly good. I say this for 2 reasons, it is not only unusually spirited & inspired for a studio recording, but the detail & subtlety is extreemly fine. The vocals are not to be overlooked though, the harmonies are natural in the way that Poco`s are. I have never heard such fine intrumental playing emerge from a studio before. Even John Coltranes records had troughs etc. This is in a class of its own. This band (like so many) is not known in my country, mores the pity! Rudi Samborski

5.0 out of 5 stars born on my planet, August 23, 2001

By	cat (Colorado) - See all my reviews

Never thought anyone could tear me away from my beloved Phish, but I have to say that String Cheese is now number one in my heart and ears...an awesome multifaceted group out of Boulder, always experimenting with different sounds and genres, SCI never fails to get my booty moving to beautiful jammy tunes. They also translate really well from performing live to album recordings - I recommend this cd over their live one performed at the Fox Theatre in Boulder. Tracks 9 and 10 are my babies, transporting me to a funkycalypsopercussion-driven heaven.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something for Everyone, February 2, 2001

By	"veganbrother" (colorado) - See all my reviews

The String Cheese Incident's first studio release contains studio versions of some of SCI's classics such as Texas, Black Clouds, Johnny Cash and Jellyfish. Born on the Wrong Planet is a must for all hardcore String Cheese fans. It shows a different side of String Cheese, the more acoustic, bluegrass, or just plain wacky element of this extremely versatile band.
