Way out of the comfort zone, Aug 5 2007
By jive rhapsodist - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Getty Address (Audio CD)
I never go to Rock shows anymore. But I heard this band on the radio and had to check it out. There's definitely something genius about it, but sometimes I feel like I'm in the presence of a failed avant-gardist more than a kind of Brian Wilson-esque Pop master for our time. But sometimes not. Longstreth is a real talent, but I hope he doesn't get too quickly co-opted by the New Music people who are all lining up to dream their daily crossover dreams (an impending danger - really!). This CD is a lovely, surreal song cycle, evocative and haunting. The songs are probably too amorphous to ever take him to the Bjork level of fame. Which is too bad, because when you place this next to say, a Beck CD, you hear the difference between an artist with something to say and somebody coasting on the wave of Symphonic Pop Visionary. This guy and his music are really something, but he uses the same tricks over and over (especially with the samples) and he doesn't seem to really have a melodic gift. All cavils aside, this is a major release that all the people of my age group (I'm 52) should purchase the next time they're whinging about some topic like "Where are the Sargeant Peppers (or Revolvers) of our time?"

F***ing Brilliant!, April 8 2005
By elpretentio "robert" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Getty Address (Audio CD)
By far the most inventive release from Dave Longstreth of the Dirty Projectors. The sounds are primarily composed of a cut-up samples of orchestrations and high-range voice samples. To compare, the vocals used throughout are similar to that of Bjork's last work, Medulla. It produces a very ethereal atmosphere with chanting abound and the mood being set by an abundance of strings and whispy voices. This is where the similarities with Medulla end though and it would be unwise for me to liken this album to that one too much as this album, at its core, has much more substance than the latter in terms of rhythm. The opera-like voice samples along with his own airy voice are cut up along with cowbells, strings, and a whole host of percussion and wind instruments in a somewhat dischordant yet entirely captivating array of heavy beats. It really is something else and needs to be listened to if it is to be done any justice. I emplore you, listen to this album. It will be a refreshing experience. In my opinion it is the most engrossing and creative release of the year thus far and it's going to have a permanent place in my rotation of music. I dare someone to release an album better than this one this year. No really, i do.

Longstreth tickles my demanding music buds!, April 19 2005
By Basil Nasrajar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Getty Address (Audio CD)
Intricate, fearless, melodic, ambitious, confident, catchy-as-hell, and utterly captivating. I hope his head doesn't get too big! He's f****** brilliant, though. Love all his stuff. Great to see him branching out EVEN FURTHER. What on earth is the next one gonna be like?
