10214 This is really, spectacularly good indietronic music, with the bleeps of the electronic fiend, and the acoustic guitars and quite vocals of the shoegazing indie crowd - fantastic, not a disaster. Genius indietronica simon c 2004-03-07 21:59:35 2004-03-07 21:59:35 5 18129 This Ep is really fantastic with a special mention for "Kill Meeow", which is one of the best songs i've heard so far. Anyone covering a Silver Jews song desserve 5 stars anyway... Utterly brilliant! jm / i.standard 2004-08-04 09:28:24 2004-08-04 09:28:24 5 20838 this is a very nice release from observatoryonline. the electronics, at parts, sound like an hypothetic soon-to-come postal service's album (kill meow), while the vocals (and their slight treatment) remind me of jon anderson in his collaborations with vangelis. i highly recommend this to all the tamborello's lovers. neat electronic pop purusha 2004-09-14 04:05:31 2004-09-14 04:05:31 5 25002 ...at least compared to other netaudio releases. I just like this mixture of guitarres, singing and electro sounds. Refreshingly non-conventional Sebi 2004-11-15 07:12:21 2004-11-15 07:12:21 5 29699 in the perfect line between the experimantal-underground seek & a enjoyable lightfull pop music... very nice beatiful AkiRa_ Sunshin 2005-01-21 19:47:26 2005-01-21 19:47:26 5 30618 A refreshingly happy piece in the electronic scene, especially here in Netlabel land. Nice driving music, well produced. Happy! Andrew Stuckey 2005-01-31 22:10:24 2005-01-31 22:10:24 5 38419 Some of the absolute best Creative Commons-licensed music I've heard. "Kill Meow" and "If It Could Talk..." are stand-outs. Very great, mellow, emotive, evocative, fragile, beautiful, touching art. Wonderful Gavin Baker 2005-04-12 21:05:46 2005-04-12 21:05:46 5 52983 An oustanding example of tradtional boundaries eclipsed by diachronic sound sculpting. Characteristic of Nam June Paik and Rocketship, Text Adventure fills our yellowing-woes with shimmery diamonds and a familiar emptiness. | | | | | | | VIKK 2005-10-12 23:11:41 2005-10-12 23:11:41 5 Remember how you used to laugh when you see kids playing on one of those casio keyboards at the mall? Well, I did. I guess the subject matter isn’t as laughable on this EP as it is gorgeous sounding. The Text Adventure from Glasgow, Scotland brings to us a electropop EP filled with casio keyboard melodies, folk guitar sounds and cute vocals. Yes, you heard that. I said cute. The vocals are cute, the sounds are cute, the whole album is pop gold for your soul. Playful but nonsensical lyrics like “I’ll be the scarf around your neck” complete the magic. Favourite tracks: I’m a Shoe, I miss you Titles do matter in songs. They change your perception. This shoe got my attention. Although the song talks more about a robot than a shoe. Kill Meow The Casio keyboard patch used for this track got my attention. This track stands out from the whole album because it sounds so different. It has something to do with that casio keyboard I tell you. The line “No Need for Umbrellas” Reviewed on Gratisvibes.com 5 gratisvibes.com 2006-07-30 07:36:01 2006-07-30 07:36:01 I love this release. It has been the soundtrack of my last summer. Makes me think of Pink Floyd with an electro/glitch pop flavour. So beautiful Pitjamajusto 2007-06-14 15:50:13 2007-06-14 15:50:13 5 10 5.00
