Editorial Reviews

About the Artist
Library Science is Mildred Pitt (of The Bran Flakes) and th'g'rd'n'r (of The Melody Unit) Written and recorded in their studio over the entire year of 2003.

Product Description
Happi Tyme Records is happy to announce the release of Library Science's debut album, High Life Honey. The music is heavily inspired by classic dub, but ultimately reflects the unique spirit and creativity of the members of the band.

It is music that does not fear laughing at itself. Music where effects are played as any other instrument. Music that knows that the space between the notes is just as important as the notes themselves. Music that learns to not fear destroying and taking away as a means of creating something new. Music that asks, "What time is science?".

5.0 out of 5 stars Hear Ye, March 1, 2004

By A Customer

Hear Ye

This unique disc entirely different from ones Bran Flakes so successfully produced and two of whose members join Library Science's debut album High Life Honey is a breakthrough into an exciting milieu. Here, at first, a mysterious, and catchy repetitive beat carries you along expectantly. A sudden "hey" interspersed occasionally in the midst of this steady beat and outer gurgling sound to the right, then left, end a trip to somewhere. 13 tracks vary what is a listening experience. Titles of each track may or not influence the imagination such as "Fun" with its bouncy rhythm and outside softer faster acompinament. The outstanding virtue of Library Science is the amazing use of off stage sounds coming around you in circles, way off in the distance and to right or left all unexpected, creating a certain theme in the core melody patterns. Words can barely describe this disc. You just have to hear it for sheer personal enjoyment.

I just picked this album up recently and I think it's totally great [full disclosure:
one half of Library Science is my brother]. What I like about this album is that
it is totally dissimilar to all the other albums I own. Well, that's not totally true,
since it clearly stole a lot of its material from R.E.M.'s "Eponymous" disc, and the
"rat-a-ta-ta-taaaa" sound is totally ubiquitous these days. The one thing I
can't totally figure out is whether this is music to get stoned to or if it is stoned
to get music to. As for their name, it's totally obvious that these guys are into
science in a sincere way, but I really doubt they've even been in a library in the
last decade -- libraries just aren't LIKE THIS ANYMORE!
