Stop The Panic

Rolling Stone (3/30/00, p.64) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...the 2 intermingle styles, easing into Hawaiian, Asian and rural-American modes...with energy, composure and charisma....excellently unforced..." Spin (4/00, pp.196,198) - 7 out of 10 - "...it's the kind of lovely symptom that justifies the disease of casual collage....the record never settles into a lone tone or musical mode....breezy, cheesy, and uneasy all at once." Entertainment Weekly (2/11/00, p.74) - "...Jungle breakbeats and raps mingle with Western-swing licks for an album of delightful diversions: background music that keeps leaping to the fore..." - Rating: A- Alternative Press (5/00, p.112) - 3 out of 5 - "...Merry and whimsical....Vibert's one of the few experimental electronic producers whose tracks also work on the dancefloor....many tasty musical morsels..." Magnet (6-7/00, p.95) - "...An accomplished techno album that doesn't take itself too seriously....It's just good, clean fun...all of it so silly and pretty and just plain alive that you can't help but smile." Muzik (1/00, p.111) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...a novel collaboration....displaying music to match the concept - the almost r&b-shaped chic of 'Hipalong-Hop' and '60s-esque Blow Up grooves of 'Party Animal'..." CMJ (1/31/00, p.27) - "...a highly original sounding collection of tracks that fuses infectious urban breakbeat/hip-hop grooves and space-age funk with easy-going blues riffs and earthy melodies....a sound as timeless as it is timely." Melody Maker (2/29/00, p.48) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Luke cooks up the 'Look, Ma! I'm on top of the speakers!' meaty beat treats, allowing just enough room for BJ to drizzle his wibbly, grass-skirt-wearing, glissando 'git-arr' all over the top. Yum!..." Mojo (Publisher) (2/00, p.100) - "...may be the best thing either has done, a rewarding alliance of eclecticists whose tracks recall the sonic tableaux of LEs Baxter and Martin Denny, with breakbeats and techno figures furnishing the rhythms....suprisingly diverse..." NME (Magazine) (2/5/00, p.28) - 6 out of 10 - "...a congress of gear whore and man of steel....fashioned of beats, liquid guitar, little black boxes and big band swing....serious goatee-tugging..."
