Music Is A Hungry Ghost

Q (6/01, pp.119-20) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...If you only buy one album this year by palindromic Germans residing in the hinterland between post-rock and avant-electronica, er, make it this one." Alternative Press (6/01, p.86) - 4 out of 5 - "...I-Sound shows the group how to add a bit of swagger...helping loosen up the trio..." The Wire (5/01, p.67) - "...A departure....a journey back to the group's younger selves. 80s music isn't such so much ghost here as a familiar..." Muzik (5/01, p.101) - 4 out of 5 - "...Their best album to date. It's pristine, polished and ever-so-modern..." CMJ (5/14/01, p.13) - "...I-Sound's soft-focus grit adds depth and shadow to To Rococo's precise synthesis - a little asphalt here and there, scattered on the silicon..." Mojo (Publisher) (1/02, p.71) - Included in Mojo's "Best Underground Albums of 2001". Mojo (Publisher) (6/01, p.116) - "...This is sonic ice sculpture with a very warm heart..." NME (Magazine) (5/5/01, p.36) - 7 out of 10 - "...There remains an easy organic warmth to this album....proving why these kings of Teutonic understatement are one of the biggest noises in quiet music."
