Top Gear

Search: Time to Pretend
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 17, 2008
...and that he considers James Blunt to be the anti-Christ.*

All we know is, this is yet another quite solid grab bag of tunes - blessed and sanctified by the presence of the Stig, but you're not sure whether he can actually hear in these frequencies. There are quite a few recent tunes you'll know from heavy airplay and (over)use in ads ("Monster", "That's Not My Name", "Have A Nice Day") a few retro classics thrown in for the ironed-jeans brigade ("Raspberry Beret", "Logical") and a few odd curveballs to try and look hip and down with the kids ("Propane Nightmares").

If you twisted this jumble of music through a dimensional wringer and made it solid and, let's say, a car, it'd look like a Gumpert - a car that looks ... Read More:

Son of America

Search: Time to Pretend
by: Spirit

Release Date August 15, 2005
The five stars are for the first CD, the second CD is a bonus CD and more of a mixed bag of tracks. This album shows the more melodic side of Spirit with tracks like "Thomas Q and Jennifer", "Gopal" and "Back Home". There is also a great studio version of the early seventies (unreleased) Spirit song "Storm in the night" as well as covers of Dylan's "The times they are a changing" and The Beatles "Let It Be" (with unknown vocalist!).
The strongest material here is in my opinon as good as some of the original bands best material like "1984" and the Sardonicus album. Strongly recommended.

Sorry for this short and lazy review - which is no reflection of my feelings for this album. Oracular Spectacular is superb, MGMT is superb. And going for a bargain price at the time of writing too!
