[Her] talent lies in adopting her collaborators' material into a style all her own....enchanting..."Magnet (1-2/00, p.70) - "...another episode of Jobim/bossa nova moments, swinging shag-pop and 'faux'-Gainsbourg percussive....The biggest change...is that Karie has discovered trash drumming, rim-swallowing garbage-slamming that colors the funny pop...like John Bonham on a bender..."CMJ (11/1/99, p.21) - "...Karie's charm imbues the entire record and compels the likes of Buffalo Daughter and Add N to X to get in on this saccharine pop fling."10.12384

Down Beat (p.48) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Di Meola hits the breaks a bit, giving his itchy, pan-cultural pieces a chance to breathe....It's a move that bolster's the music's lyrical nature, and it makes the album one of his strongest statements yet."JazzTimes (p.61) - "[A] strong and varied effort that moves mostly in the acoustic direction and features some high-profile personnel..."Record Collector (magazine) (p.95) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[W]ith its varied textures, tone colours and impeccable musicianship, it's a spellbinding listen..."6.611548

Living Blues (p.37) - "The aural contexts he creates both complement and challenge the lyrics' imagery, creating hallucinatory dreamscapes in which the words grow, mutate, shape-shift, and acquire yet more new layers of meaning."Billboard (p.40) - "'Hands On Your Stomach' has a rolling rock'n'roll current, while the dark ebb and flow of `Rain So Hard' feels prescient of Nashville's recent tribulations."Paste (magazine) - "Otis Taylor is one of our most vital bluesmen, but his best stuff doesn't pack an immediate wallop so much as it sidles up and gets you tapping your foot."6.121678

Entertainment Weekly (10/10/97, p.92) - "A&M shelved this during a guard changing in 1990; now unearthed, the T-Bone Burnett-coproduced OLE proves a career high for K. and is arguably better than anything A&M's put out these last several years..." - Rating: A6.017549

Down Beat (p.89) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Combining the raw vigor of Mississippi hill country trance-inducers with a cleverly calculated sonic blues mania of their own, this trio out of Kansas should never be taken lightly."Living Blues (p.58) - "The disc opens with an electric swampy opera of sweaty urgency on 'The Brown Bomber' and rarely lets up over the course of its 12 mostly original songs."5.701228

Entertainment Weekly (10/25/96, p.116) - "...Kula Shaker don't merely take you back 20 years on this confident debut, they rejuvenate that period by mixing sitar and Sanskrit chants with wa-wa guitar Hammond organ. The blissed-out effect is somewhere between post-India George Harrison and early Stone Roses." - Rating: B+Q (10/96, p.165) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...they can go from delicacy to harder bluesy riffs and mix harmonies with funky rhythmic undertows to produce a gloriously full sound. They have discipline, a surefooted sense of pop melody, and they do it all with a sense of positivity..."Alternative Press (1/97, p.73) - 5 (out of 5) - "...Tight song structures embrace Kula Shaker's freakform excursions, and though they're into jam, they use butter, as well, which means that self-indulgence is kept to a minimum..."NME (Magazine) (12/21-28/96, pp.66-67) - Ranked #14 in NME's 1996 critic's poll.NME (Magazine) (9/14/96, p.50) - 9 (out of 10) - "...K is enormous; generating mighty, vertical grooves of pan-dimensional power pop which will surely have The Stone Roses gnawing at their innards....it's The Verve gone ethno-berserk, as huge as the horizon itself....astonishingly confident, musicianly gifted, gloriously hedonistic..."5.477106
