They may be tousle-haired New Yorkers with a penchant for fitted thrift-store trousers and a well-worn copy of Television's Marquee Moon, but that doesn't mean Longwave sounds anything like one-time touring partners and spiritual mates the Strokes. Despite his elegantly wasted delivery singer Steve Schiltz sounds more Julian Cope than Julian Casablancas, and the band's music is decidedly less high-strung than that of contemporaries such as the Rapture and Walkmen. Songs like "Wake Me When It's Over" and "Meet Me at the Bottom" are stylish and expansive, evoking the familiar atmosphere of U2! 's October and Radiohead's The Bends, all the while sounding defiantly contemporary. It's not always easy listening but it's certainly rewarding. --Aidin Vaziri

5 out of 5 stars My Life's Soundtrack--Almost.......2005-06-16

I first heard of Longwave on this teen network called "The-N", where they were showing a video of their song "Tidal Wave" which got me into liking them. About a year later I went into my local Circuit City and bought it, and never regretted the purchase. This album has a nice steady pace to it, and no song sounds identical to the last. I recommend this to anyone who loves music as much as I do.

5 out of 5 stars random find and totally stoked.......2005-04-03

I actually heard these guys on internet radio. i wrote the name down and went out bought the record. havent regreted once. i was so happy to hear this band. this is a consistent record and rather than use vague descriptions i'll just say its as if Interpol had a good singer. i see interpo all over the place and i even saw them live. they were good but i don't get all the hype. then i heard this band and discovered the great injustice being done. oh my gosh! this band is great and unlike the interpol guy, he can actually sing. interpol fans, or fans of maybe early radiohead and the cure... this might be a band for you. i hope the next record replaces interpol on the airwaves.

5 out of 5 stars How did I miss this?.......2005-03-18

I heard "Wake Me When Its Over" on Sirius Radio the other day and thought I should check them out. I am glad I did. I like the rest of the album as well and would recommend it. The lyrics are not the best, yes, but the music and style more than make up for that. If you like bands like the Stills, the Doves, or South, you will probably like these guys as well.

4 out of 5 stars Where's the love?.......2004-07-03

On first listen, it would be pretty easy to write off Longwave as "just another indie band" or some similarly dismissive term. However, some time and patience will reveal a skilled and imaginative band that does an excellent job of taking the sounds of the past and putting their own stamp on them. These guys have certainly done their homework: led by the versatile and often explosive guitar work of Steve Schiltz (who doubles on vocals) and Shannon Ferguson, "The Strangest Things" displays elements of English post-punk, the arty cool of Sonic Youth, and even a bit of the shoegazer fuzz of My Bloody Valentine. The first two songs, "Wake Me When It's Over" and "Everywhere You Turn" charge ahead with the combination of gravity and grace that characterizes some of Sonic Youth's more straightforward work. Starting slow and quiet and then steadily gaining momentum and becoming more expansive, the genuinely pretty "Meet Me at the Bottom" could be an early Radiohead song without the British accent. The sweeping, shimmering instrumental closer "Day Sleeper," with its textured guitar interplay and occasional bursts of noise, even brings to mind Mogwai. And Longwave aren't above hitting you with a simple, catchy pop hook, as evidenced by the surprisingly endearing "Pool Song." Schiltz is an excellent vocalist, with a mature croon that's augmented by some sweet falsetto on "The Ghosts Around You" and "Exit." The rhythm section of Dave Marchese and Mike James also helps to elevate this band above the plain, bringing a rhythmic heft not often seen in their genre. Just witness their furious pounding in "All Sewn Up," or Mike's intricate beats on the title track and "Day Sleeper." If not for some lousy lyrics, and the brief dead spot created by the too-short "Can't Feel a Thing" and the too-wimpy "Tidal Wave," this album could be a certifiable classic. Instead, it's just an underappreciated recording that ranks among the top releases of last year.

3 out of 5 stars frustrating.......2003-11-01

if all goes well, "the strangest things" will be a near afterthought in longwave's catalog. be warned, that is not as damaging a knock as it may seem, because if any band has captured the beauty and uncertainty of post-punk and melded it with the simplicity of pop music, it is longwave. their songs are fleshed-out, glorious, nervous, and inspiring at the same time. nearly every track on their latest offering demands repeated listens, at least to fully appreciate the roaring dual-guitar attack that dominates the record. "everywhere you turn" hearkens to the days of u2, echo and the bunnymen, and yes, the band they might most closely resemble, ride. swish, swirl, dizzyness, lots of guitars, more dizzyness, all meant to be played loud. but man it's great, although admittedly derivative. by now you sense i'm buttering this up only to utterly disappoint, which is true, but please don't write this band off just because, well, their lyrics are bad. real bad. i hate to say it, because i want to love them, as much for the nostalgia as for the delivery, but as great as steve schlitz's voice is, as ably as he fits it to the music, the man is spouting cliches and empty phrases, ironically, everywhere you turn. it's fairly obvious that many of these songs deal with alienation and a sense of hopelessness, at least from the titles ("i know it's coming someday," "meet me at the bottom," "can't feel a thing," etc.) this isn't a bad thing, but it all comes out so wrong when they're backed by "when there's no one left, you'll see me there," or "they're always looking for something." and that's really it, it's always about someone, something, somewhere, someday, never delving into any specifics, something (yes, something) that we can hook on to and relate to on a deeper, more personal level. isn't that what music is for? and so, as great as these songs sound, it's hard if not impossible to fully buy into all of it. if you can ignore the words and simply seep into the music itself, then yes, "the strangest things" is a rewarding and enthralling listen. do yourself a favor, forget the lyrics to "tidal wave" and turn it up to 11. it's teenage bliss, if only for a few minutes. otherwise, this post-punk revival will continue until someone (yes, someone) delivers the next classic we need.

3 out of 5 stars Love Mylo's Remix!.......2007-01-12

The first and second track on this CD are AWESOME! "Mylo's Remix" is singlehandedly the best song on the CD. I think it was a bit pricey for the amount of music I honestly have listened to on the CD. Besides track one and two, the CD is worthless!

The only reason why you almost HAVE to get this CD is because the remix tracks are not available on iTunes etc. I haven't seen these tracks anywhere else.

4 out of 5 stars The Highly-Biased Bill Nelson Review, part XLVII.......2003-06-23

There is no way that I can pan a Bill Nelson album. His lamest, most irritating efforts, compiled onto a single CD, would spend more time coming through my speakers than all commercial radio combined. But, on to this title.

Subtitled "A Collection of Recordings 1979-1989," this is an interesting side-trip in the corpus. It shares four cuts with the two-CD set "What Now, What Next?" which is a compendium of Nelson's output on the Cocteau label. Meanwhile, "The Strangest Things" is a compendium of songs put out on the eventually ill-fated Enigma label in the U.S., most of which were licensed copies of the Cocteau albums.

To apparently confuse matters further, 7 of the cuts on this CD (half, that is) had not been previously released in the U.S.... which meant that they hadn't been released on Enigma -- one, in fact, had been released on Harvest, not Cocteau.

Hmm.

Is it a decent album? Oh, yes. Nelson's "samplers" are fascinating, beginning with the apparent sonic hodgepodge. When I play it for people, they ask me why the hell I pasted so many disparate bands onto one CD, as there's no apparent unifying point -- in that respect, it sounds like a K-Tel album assembled by some hung-over mid-level exec (which is likely all, but I digress).

As a sampler, "Strangest" is pleasing from the first. It includes Nelson looking solo as well as under the Red Noise & Orchestra Arcana rubrics. There's some of his orchestral, some of his ambient, some of his jazzier side, some frantic Europop, & a hint of his sheer ability to rock out on a whim.

All in all, if you're still new to the corpus, go for "What Now, What Next?" & build from there, as that's as good a guide to his range & span as any. The reason I knocked "Strangest" down a star is because the CD mostly makes me long for a "The Harvest Years" compendium CD set that goes from Be Bop Deluxe through Red Noise.

If you can handle a range of music from ambient whooshing through jarring/dazzling guitar, you'll never likely go wrong with Nelson.

Oh... did I forget to mention that he's one of the best orchestrators I've ever heard, an amazing marimba player, possesses a dozen distinct singing voices over the years, & crafts some of the most devilishly memorable free-association quasi-beat poetry imaginable?

    Album Description

    Australian Tour Edition of the artist album from mish mash scene leaders Freeform Five, features Australian exclusive bonus remix disc. Includes the single No More Conversations and remixes from Mylo, Tiefschwarz, Radio Slave, Stanton Warriors & M.A.N.D.Y. Sizzling their way into record boxes across the board as one of the hottest electro acts in the world, this UK outfit made the massive vocal mix of Mylo's "Muscle Car"' and have remixed Felix da Housecat, X-press 2 and even Brian Wilson! From album title track "Strangest Things"' to the floor-shaking club hits "Perspex Sex"' and "Eeeeaaooww"' (featuring Jamaican dancehall legend Bounty Killer), they've got it goin' on. Strikingly melodic twisted disco and sexed-up electro-house with more hooks than a fisherman; it would be easy to assume it's sample-heavy but they make it all from scratch. Electrifying, fresh and eagerly awaited.

        Album Description

        Debut album from the foursome known as Freeform Five. 'Strangest Things' sees the four piece take on the dancefloor and challenging the stereotypical album dynamic in producing some of the catchiest numbers you'll hear all summer. Here brooding pensive melancholy sits comfortably next to four to the floor club bangers, with a potential pop smash or two thrown in for good measure, without ever sounding muddled or schizophrenic. Freeform Five have made an album that will finally pull them into the spotlight they deserve. Ultimate Dilemma. 2004.

"everywhere you turn" hearkens to the days of u2, echo and the bunnymen, and yes, the band they might most closely resemble, ride. swish, swirl, dizzyness, lots of guitars, more dizzyness, all meant to be played loud. but man it's great, although admittedly derivative. by now you sense i'm buttering this up only to utterly disappoint, which is true, but please don't write this band off just because, well, their lyrics are bad. real bad. i hate to say it, because i want to love them, as much for the nostalgia as for the delivery, but as great as steve schlitz's voice is, as ably as he fits it to the music, the man is spouting cliches and empty phrases, ironically, everywhere you turn. it's fairly obvious that many of these songs deal with alienation and a sense of hopelessness, at least from the titles ("i know it's coming someday," "meet me at the bottom," "can't feel a thing," etc.) this isn't a bad thing, but it all comes out so wrong when they're backed by "when there's no one left, you'll see me there," or "they're always looking for something." and that's really it, it's always about someone, something, somewhere, someday, never delving into any specifics, something (yes, something) that we can hook on to and relate to on a deeper, more personal level. isn't that what music is for? and so, as great as these songs sound, it's hard if not impossible to fully buy into all of it. if you can ignore the words and simply seep into the music itself, then yes, "the strangest things" is a rewarding and enthralling listen. do yourself a favor, forget the lyrics to "tidal wave" and turn it up to 11. it's teenage bliss, if only for a few minutes. otherwise, this post-punk revival will continue until someone (yes, someone) delivers the next classic we need.
