Customer Reviews:

After several listens, I must agree with my fellow reviewer here - this IS a dub masterpiece (arguably) - only for genre fans.......2005-06-20

When I first heard "The Push Pull" at the radio station I work at, I instantly liked it. I didn't instantly think it was a classic, but I at least KNEW it was good (the title track was my favorite at the time). In a world where a lot of electronica music sounds relatively the same, "The Push Pull" manages to sound familiar-yet-very-different at the same time. It's all just very very interesting to listen to. It's pretty much a dub album with indescribable electronic blips and bloops - it's certainly original sounding. Every song here is interesting to listen to, even if they're not all as catchy as the first four tracks. I would argue that non-genre fans probably won't like it, but you never know. Electronica fans will definitely love its catchiness and intricacies. If you liked this album I would also highly recommend Lusine's "Serial Hodgepodge" as well as (though not as much) Proem's "Socially Inept", both of which also came out this year. Highly recommended!

Highlights include:
the entire album!

Dub Masterpiece.......2005-02-10

This album is a refreshing treat for the ears: complex, subtle, and loaded with brilliant ideas. It is clear that a lot of love went into making this record. Every time you listen you catch a new burst of inspiration from its beautiful melodies, deep dubby basslines and intricate textures. I love the way he incorporates found sounds, making rhythm tracks from a cat purr for example. This album is a masterpiece which you can listen to again and again, and I highly recommend it no matter what style of music you are into.

Despard - keeper of flame for 80's jangle rock.......2000-08-16

On "Push Me Pull You" what you have in a nut shell is Patti Smith singing REM. If you like Smith's full-throated, emotionally naked vocals and REM's Mitch Easter/Don Dixon produced jangle guitar music from the 80's you will like this CD. The track "Walk" sounds musically similar to "Maps and Legends" and other songs from "Fables of the Reconstruction".

The vocals on the CD are strong and distinctive in a way that Patti Smith's are. Check out Firmament and the resemblence between the two vocalists is striking. The resemblence of band names "Alice Despard Group" with "Patti Smith Group" helps to beg such comparisons. Of course there are similarities with other bands. The track "She's Making Faces" sounds similar to material from Let's Active (Mitch Easter's band). The deliberate pace of the over-amped rhythm guitar (producing the trade-mark twang of jangle rock) accompanied by the cymbol-bash from the drums and arresting vocals from Despard are in keeping with Easter's band. Another band whose sound echos on this disc is the Swimming Pool Q's. The track "November Day" sounds very like the Q's combination of folkish rhythm guitars with some electric lead and vocal chorus' lead by female vocals.

As much as Despard's music resembles the bands mentioned above it would be a mistake to think of her music as derivitive of them. If the music of "Push Me..." calls to mind these other artists it has more to do with the time period that Despard began playing around DC than with an attempt to recreate the sound. Despard sounds like Let's Active and Swimming Pool Q's because she was a contemporary of those bands but, unlike the other bands, she managed to survive and is now being heard by a wider audience.

Despard has preserved the best of a time period's pop music and has managed to update it with a current sensibility.
