Kevchino - Indie Music Review (462 words)
So if you were a Guided by Voices fan in 92', and why wouldn't you be the chances that you had this gem were slim.
Original copies of the album start out at $850, and in bassist James Greer's new book "Guided by Voices: 20 Years of Hunting Accidents in the Forests of Rock and Roll" he tells of a story where the album sold for $6,000.
Yes, the album is a little raw and rough and some points, but that is what makes it great.
SOUTH AFRICAN MUSIC (674 words)
Voices is a product of mature workmanship and so different from her previous work that it is hard to imagine that Wanda was ever part of the Ghetto Luv group and project.
Indeed the 10 track album has brought out that change – as she herself puts it: “It was like re-uniting with myself”.
Overall, the album is great, the lyrics are intelligent and have a strong message of unity and togetherness.
