CD Reviews

Sometimes a bomb is not enough...
Benjamin Lukoff | Seattle | 02/26/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"...To express the way I feel
And an explosion in the dark
Won't let you down...Good stuff here, I daresay better than on the major-label album these tracks are outtakes from ("Jewels for Sophia"). Released on Robyn's own label, Editions PAF!, this CD features "Daisy Bomb," "I Saw Nick Drake," and "1974." Other tracks include
"Adoration Of The City," "I Wish I Liked You," "Nietzsche's Way," "The Philosopher's Stone," "The Green Boy," "Judas Sings (Jesus & Me)," "Antwoman" (dub version), "I Used To Love You," and "The Underneath."Worth it for the first three mentioned tracks alone. "Daisy Bomb" is one of the most deceptively simple love songs I've ever had the pleasure to hear."
Great stuff

"You know when you're thinking about adopting a cat or a dog at the local animal shelter? Some of them, they'll only let you adopt your favorite one if you agree take the sister or brother along with the one you like. Same thing here, folks....you can't get this one without getting "Jewels for Sofia". Both CDs come from the same recording sessions, and should only be adopted together. Awesome, jamming psychedelic music with signature surreal lyrics."
Outtakes??? Among Hitchcock's Best

"I have bought pretty much everything Robyn Hitchcock has released from his work with the Soft Boys to solo. Even on his weakest releases there is always something you can't be without in your collection. Therefore I bought this not expecting much, just hoping for some interesting scraps. I figured like Jewels For Sophia there would be some good tunes mixed with some filler. Boy was I in for a nice surprise. This is so much better than Jewels I can't understand why this was the Outtakes collection, but I guess that is what makes being a Hitchcock fan so rewarding. This is a 5 star album that contains classic song after classic song. Those who are on a tight budget can easily skip Jewels and go directly to the Star."
