This is a superb album, just the right mixture of mellowness and distortion. After having to review a mountain of commercialised chart pop music this album came as a very welcome breath of fresh air. We here at University Radio York don't have a playlist, but this album has been made our record of the week for next week so DJ's will be aware of it and if they like it (which they should as it's an absolutely superb album)they will play it, and I have played 2 tracks off it(these are not my words and krzysztof) on my show.

A nice booklet accompanies this album, although you have to say the 21 item bibliography is getting a bit carried away. The fact that "Above a Moving Train" left this reviewer slightly cold may be down to his lack of preparation before immersing himself in the album. To my ears, it sounds like a less frazzled Bardo Pond, or a janglier Flying Saucer Attack. However, for all the echo pedal abuse and sheets of feedback, there aren't enough hooks to hold the attention, especially compared to their earlier, excellent and fuzz-free single, "The Cartographer". But this will probably be a great album to listen to if you've just taken a newly-discovered narcolepsy-inducing drug from South America. Until such a time, I await enlightenment.

ROCKETS BURST FROM THE STREETLAMPS - «above a moving train« cd prima hintergrundmusik wie sie seiner-zeit von bands wie LOW perfektioniert wurde. ruhige weibliche stimme, dezente aber ausgeklŸgelte instrumentierung und dadurch irgendwie Ÿberhaupt nicht langweilig. die cd steckt dazu noch in einer schmucken pappschachtel, was den durch die musikalische prŠsentation bereits angedeuteten artsy faktor noch einmal unterstreicht. was soll ich sagen, fŸr mich ist«s ok.

Rockets Burst from the Streetlamps - above a moving train Beautiful voice! Nice guitars! They sounds like The Felt (do you remember?). We've been playing "Casillero del Diablo" (fantastic!), "black" (beautiful!), "Krzysztof", "Christmas" and "interspatial". PS - I'm a big fan too for the worf of Kiewslowski. **** this release will be "Disc of the Week" ne of the next weeks.

Voix ŽthŽrŽe, guitares bruitistes sachant se faire dŽlicates et caressantes, de My Bloody Valentine aux Cranes en passant par Mazzy Star et Luna, les rŽfŽrences semblent Žvidentes. Mais ce serait trop facile et trop rŽducteur, car la musique des "Rockets..." c'est quand mme beaucoup plus que ca. Issu de la scne "arty" de Boston, "Rockets ..." fait partie de ces quelques groupes qui rŽussissent sans peine ˆ associer une forte vision intellectuelle et artistique ˆ un sens rare de la mŽlodie et de la suspension. La bibliographie en fin de livret cite Georges Bataille, Anais Nin ou Peter Greenaway mais aussi et surtout Kieslowsky a qui toute une chanson (Krysztof) est dŽdiŽe. On retrouve sur tout le disque une volontŽ distincte de construire une Ïuvre ŽlaborŽe et alambiquŽe allliŽe ˆ une certaine esthŽtique rche, abrupte mais pas austre. Intellectuelle donc, c'est pourtant aux tripes que la musique des "Rockets ..." s'attaque. Pr™nant le dŽtachement et la contemplation elle crŽe une atmosphre flottante qui prend l'auditeur ˆ la gorge et le mne par le bout du nez pour l'abandonner ˆ son pauvre sort en fin de disque aprs un morceau de bravoure de 7 minutes sur lequel le groupe justifie son nom dŽtonant ˆ grand renforts de larsens. Ce disque est aussi bon qu'il est beau.
