I got his new album, 'The Information' and I must say it's pretty amazing. Very creative and well crafted pop music. Any thoughts on the artist?

Can't say I've heard much other than his singles, which are pleasant enough....my friend likes him though and has a couple albums

Wonderfully inventive stuff, a real original as indie/pop goes.

I like Sea Change quite a bit. His other stuff is great, too.

A bit hit and miss for me, but I really liked Odelay! and he's always worth catching live. Don't know that he'd be one to include in the archives, though.

Hmm... I haven't heard him, but I have heard things about him. Judging
from the posts in this thread, I ought to check him out. Where do you
suggest I start?

I like him, but the guy with Jeff in front of that name is better.

I also like Jeff Beck, probably just as much as Beck. But it's kinda pointless to compare them, since they're two completely different artist.

timely bump... was talking about this with Ghost Rider the other day. Very much in favor in adding him, will expose GR to Beck. If she agrees, we'll see what happens... < ="text/">
