Limited edition double vinyl LP repressing of the Indie Rock band's 1999 album housed in a Stoughton tip on gatefold jacket with download code of nearly three hours of hard-to-find previously unreleased material. Black Foliage: Animation Music contains insanely catchy '60's- inspired pop music in addition to sound collages, field recordings, ambience, cathartic noise and outlandish production that makes Phil Spector's 'Wall of Sound' look like a cubicle divider.

The best album ever recorded
Seriously, this is the best album ever recorded. I enjoy all types of music, and have a music collection numbering over 10,000 songs and 700 albums. This is hands down my favorite music, ever. I like everything from Tool to the Flaming Lips to Public Enemy to the Buena Vista Social Club to Frank Zappa. This beats it all. Just buy it.It takes a good amount of listens before what they are telling you starts to sink in, so don't give up too early.

Really enjoyable psychadelic record that is even more enjoyable if you can appreciate the sound collage. I can't do the long piece, The Bark and Below It, but the experiments are interesting and interwoven. You really probably won't "get" them until you've heard them quite a bit, but the album itself is enjoyable, and it is rewarding when the collage becomes cohesive after you've spent time listening to and enjoying the music.The album flows differently than Cubist Castle, but the individual songs are stronger. Grass Canons is a haunting standout track.

Mid-60s throw back
Part "SMiLE", part "Revolver", this fantastic psychedelic trip is a joy to hear any time. I even hear "Head"-era Monkees. Don't think cheesy, though. Think 1965-1967 swinging London. I see happy hippies dancing in the grass, saying "Dude, have you REALLY LISTENED to Olivia Tremor Control, man?". That's not to say you have to be a hippie or smoke up to dig this. It's simply wonderfully orchestrated and well-crafted songs. So, if you're into good music, give this a try.

Not dazzling
After reading the deluge of drool from fans of this band I cracked and bought the album . Got to admit to a certain amount of disappointment . The 'Sleepy Company ' track towers above the other offerings here . So much that might be good gets lost in the messy overall sound . The long tune free 'experimental' sections are hardly groundbreaking and the tendency to reproduce the Beatles and Beach Boys sometimes descends into pastiche in a way that say , the brilliant Nick Nicely psych album does'nt. I love my psychedelia and I won't stop checking out what excitable fans put in their reviews and there is a lot of effort and ideas here but c'mon guys . 'Cubist Castle' the previous OTC album would be a better choice for first time buyers.

Relativ schlechte Soundqualität
Die Vinyl Pressung scheint nicht das allerbeste zu sein, zudem funktionieren die Download-Links nicht mehr. Ich würde sagen CD reicht, oder besorgt es euch anderweitig...
