JAPANCAKES Down the Elements CD (Darla)

Reissue. "...so skillfully arranged it's as if they'd been secretly peering in the Orb's laboratory for years. ...what Berg has begun to achieve from an experimental rock concept gone right (unlike most), Down the Elementsis immensely satisfying." – ALL MUSIC GUIDE

Reissue. Their second record is widely recognized as their best. "The Sleepy Strangeis the best representation yet of Japancakes' exciting repetitions, and one of 2001's best albums." –ALL MUSIC GUIDE

AUBURN LULL Begin Civil Twilight CD (Darla)

Imagine The Moody Blues produced by Eno, if Slowdive originally wrote and recorded Surrealistic Pillow, or perhaps Seefeel on a good sedative/hypnotic.

BITCRUSH Epilogue in Waves CD (n5MD)

The sound of Hope, loss and that dream you just can't fully remember. Gauzy yet epic instrumental rock.

JAPANCAKES Loveless CD (Darla)

"An honest, loving interpretation of MBV's album that, at best, holds it's own against the classic and even perhaps offers some new insights into the eleven songs and, at worst, is relatively harmless and nowhere near as offensive as skeptical MBV fanboys might think (or hope). –OPUSZINE

JAPANCAKES Giving Machines CD (Darla)

"...a roots-inspired, beautifully crafted pop instrumental record that extracts feelings and emotions better than that of most "intimate" singer-songwriters." – IN MUSIC WE TRUST

Near the Parenthesis has proven that he is yet another artist to capture the n5MD ethos in its truest most honest form...

Their most impressive statement so far, a convincing and beguiling melange of whispy folk, hazy psychedelia and murmuring electronics among which deft melodies blossom almost unnoticed. –THE WIRE

VALENTINA La Valentina CD (VerdiGris)

Valentina Gonzáález is probably one of Mexico's most intriguing vocalists. A songstress who possesses a beautiful and soulful voice that recalls the mannerisms of Jeff Buckley, Sidsel Endresen or Camille.
