Product Description
Jane Ganahl (San Francisco Examiner)
In the tradition of Beck, San Francisco's own ledenhed (also a one-name artist) started working with two turntables and a microphone at open-mike nights, adding layers of sound samples as he progressed. The result of studio work with Mark Pistel (Meat Beat Manifesto) is a debut album of astonishing sophistication and startling textures. It seems no one told this guy that pretty melodies sung in an unfashionably fervent tenor would be out of place with hip-hop beats and screeching guitar riffs. "Super Myth," the obvious single, is dazzling. Playing gleefully in a sandbox squarely between worlds trip-hop, pop and punk ledenhed is something of a visionary. Watch for big things from this guy.
LMNOP for babysue
Hmmm... This individual is approaching pop from a different angle. I like it...I like it... This CD took two or three listens to sink in (which is always a good sign)...but once it entered my subconcious...it STUCK. ledenhed is actually a one man band...but he avoids the usual trappings of such. The music is heady, catchy, atmosphereic, just slightly trippy...and very, VERY addicting. The guy's music reminds me as much of Self as it does Donovan...but the tunes are actually more peculiar than either. The lyrics in particular are nothing short of OUTSTANDING...causing the listener to stop, ponder, and consider whatever the HELL this guy is really trying to say (which is totally up the individual, thank God!). This is one of those rare cases where an artist really does have his own style and sound. The overall feel is subtle and abstract. Our advice? Grab it up! All the tunes kick mighty white ass. This guy's going to catch on like WILDFIRE among underground music snobs (like ourselves)... HOT! (Rating: 5 out of 6)

I heard ledenhed play last year and I got the CD and it's *very* addictive. Haven't really heard anything like it before and am enjoying immensely. I'd definitely recommend buying it!

I listened to this CD once. Then I listened to it again. Then I let it play a few more times through. I ran the complete gamut of emotions listening to it. It grabbed me too hard to use as background music so I sat, riveted, listening to the lyrics and the arresting melodies & rhythms. I was humming along to the catchy hooks in 'wannabe'; 'can't come down' stuck in my head and I was singing the refrain in the shower for a couple of days; 'reason' scared me silly the first time through with its dark tones and seemingly darker message, but in the end it turned around for me into a clarion call of triumph and resistance instead of a dirge of capitulation, submission and decay. My friend Kevan really liked 'mad parade,' and I have to back him up on that. Overall, it's the best album I've listened to, literally, in many, many months.
