Reviews
Rolling Stone (8/16/01, p.102) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...ANCIENT gets the thick, heavy sound they prefer....It's the trimmest album they've made since their 1994 breakthrough, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH LOVE....showing how rock & rollers can aspire to old-school grandiosity..." Spin (8/01, pp.134,136) - 7 out of 10 - "...Every edge has been rounded...with the abrasiveness of a pillow...the songs themselves throb like big guitar solos....balancing noise and beauty with a honed sense of conviction youmight call aesthetic morality..." Entertainment Weekly (8/17/01, p.72) - "...The songs turn, wearily and sublimely, into mini-epics..." - Rating: A CMJ (1/6/03, p.20) - Included in CMJ's list of "Top 25 College Radio Albums of All Time" CMJ (6/11/01, p.5) - "...Gorgeously slouchy pop...spinning an aura that feels both terrifically unfamiliar and as comfortable as that pair of jeans you've had since high school..."
Additional information
Built To Spill: Doug Martsch (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion); Brett Nelson (bass); Scott Plouf (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Brett Netson (guitar); Sam Coomes (keyboards). Recorded at Avast! and Bear Creek, Washington; The Manhouse, Idaho. Built To Spill abandoned any strictly lo-fi leanings long before ANCIENT MELODIES OF THE FUTURE, the band's fifth full-length release, but it is with this album that the trio's near-perfect balance of indie- (almost math-) rock and surprisingly irresistible pop hooks hits stride for a full, satisfying LP. ANCIENT MELODIES OF THE FUTURE retains the line-up of Doug Martsch, bassist Brett Nelson, and drummer Scott Piouf for a third go around, and the consistency has paid off for the most level album of their career. From tracks like the insistent opening track "Strange" to the meanderingly beautiful "The Weather," the album flat mesmerizes. People forget that these Idahoans would be just as at home on classic rock radio as on the college playlists they occupied throughout the '90s. Built To Spill draws from the subtly complex Eastern sounds of RUBBER SOUL-era Beatles and the most enchanting excesses of the Doors at their best, while singer Martsch unfurls the most charming whine since Neil Young's heyday. What's more, with their eccentric sound, the band has managed four releases on a major label, attracting new fans while managing to retain their credibility within the indie world, which is no mean feat.

    Bought quite a few items from this seller and they so far haven't let me down, always good communication, item always as described, well packaged and always arrives a day or two early. Well priced and condition as described from a very honest seller. Great little film this, I'm a big Eva Green fan so I've been wanting to see this film for a while now and its proven hard to get here in the UK. As always Rarewaves comes up with the goods and gets you those hard to get titles and rare editions.
