I just discovered Ester Drang at this year's Cornerstone Festival in Illinois. My best friend loves them and she convinced me to listen to some of their songs. Beautiful doesn't quite describe it! I recommend this to any and everyone!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Golden Songs, August 2, 2001

By	"jotul" (plainview, texas United States) - See all my reviews

This CD is amazing from start to finish. The title track starts the CD with a beautiful piano piece that plays throughout the entire song and sets an atmosphere for the rest of the CD. "Repeating the Procedure" is an excellent rhythmic waltz that has a guitar driven chorus that will make you want to keep repeating it over and over. "Words That Cure" part 1 and part 2 are standout tracks on the album. They have harmonies that are slightly reminiscent of the Beach Boys, but are definately much more moody pieces than any of the songs that the Beach Boys ever did. The Final track reminds me of a cross between Sigur Ros and Mogwai, and that could never be a bad thing. Ester Drang hits everything right on and accomplishes everything it sets out to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best album of 2001! Yes, really!, March 5, 2002

By A Customer

In my humble opinion, goldenwest is the best album nobody heard in 2001. If you enjoyed albums like The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips, or O K Computer by radiohead, then do yourself a favor and buy goldenwest now.
goldenwest has layer upon layer of pure sonic heaven. Really, there isn't much more that I could expect from an album. I'd also place goldenwest up there with Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. If you like your music to be thoughtful, yet thought provoking; buy goldenwest now while it is still in print!
