Original 1976 recording reissued.......2006-08-07

This is a budget-priced reissue of the original CBS Records Masterworks release, which contains the original booklet with libretto and copious liner notes. The only differences are the cover artwork and price. Definitely a complete and utter steal! If you're at all curious about Einstein on the Beach, this is a must purchase.

Too short.......2007-02-01

Pricey for about 10 minutes of music. Some of the songs were alright, not quite the same as hearing it live.

New title should be "Who's Left?".......2006-12-07

Saw The Who in Chicago in September and they were SOOOO good. I have so much respect for this band, Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey performed with energy that I could not muster at my age. Pete Townsend - so talented - the first Rock Opera. Roger Daltrey can still belt it out! I learned afterwards that Townsend's bro did the vocals AND Ringo Starr's son was the drummer! Lots of fathers and sons in the audience. Teenagers behind us. A mixed crowd indeed! My favorite Who song is Eminence Front. I'm the only one WHO likes that song! My favorite song of the evening was Man in the Purple Dress.

WHO's BACK!.......2006-11-11

Being a big Who fan I awaited this release with great anticipation and rest assured that while this isn't quite in the same league as Tommy, Quadrophenia or Who's Next, it is several steps in the right direction!
The only real downside to this EP (and the subsequent album) is that it feels and sounds a bit fragmented, as if some of the material is little more than snippets of a bigger idea or concept. Just when you begin to get into some of the tracks, its on to something else..Perhaps in this day and age when everyone is force-fed soundbytes and the average attention span is measured in seconds this isn't a bad thing..(?) regardless, If you are a Who fan, there is enough here to warrent the purchase..Better yet, buy the ALBUM and pad the nest eggs of two old Sheppard's Bush Geezers who continue to stir the hearts of rock fans around the world! 'Oo, 'Oo, 'Oo!!

Should have waited..........2006-11-10

I understand the full scale Who album that was just released far eclipses the "Wire & Glass"...

The Who Are Back!.......2006-11-07

Overall very good. Sounds like old Who (Tommy era). The whole CD came out on 10/31/06. Very Good CD. If you are a true Who fan you will like it.

Customer Reviews:

best of 2006.......2007-02-25

My favorite band these days. Beautiful concept album, one haunting melody after another, not one dud. Reminiscent of YES, but original and modern. DO NOT MISS THIS GEM.

Flying Kites.......2007-02-04

Mew are a powerful band, blending hard rock, prog and indierock with a sweeping hand, and turning out expansive music that sounds like nothing else.

And the Danish band not disappoint in "And the Glass Handed Kites," which takes the style of their third album "Frengers" and expands on it. The result? A brilliant, shimmering piece of rock'n'roll that sounds like nothing -- and everything -- else.

It opens with a soft whine, some hesitant drums and tuning guitar, as if the band is just starting a live set. Then they gradually swing into a solid, ringing guitar riff interspersed with blasting bass and soft shimmers of keyboard. No lyrics. Except for a few angel-rock cries, they don't need 'em.

That changes with the swirling "Chinaberry Tree," with Jonas Bjerre singing about a passionate love that is disrupted: "As my first love said to me:/"I don't care. I'm not there"/So that I could not sleep/My whole being was falling apart/So that I soon cried out: "Dear friends, hold me!"

From there on, Mew tear through other sorts of music: thunderous hard rock, shivering proggy pop, riff-heavy indierock, epic anthems of stormy sound, and silvery sweeps of eerie balladry. What's more, the songs all flow into each other with hardly any pauses, until it sounds like one enormous song.

Breakout albums are usually a bit more commercial than this one -- although the songs can be catchy, there aren't any real singles, and you'd be hard-pressed to find something so intricate and intelligent on MTV.

And their music is what makes them so brilliant -- ringing, driving riffs, sharp percussion and thunderlike bass spill over the circling melodies. They're softened by soaring organ and keyboard (and a bit of sparkly piano in one song), which add an almost transcendent quality to songs like the epic "Louise Louisa." Rockwise, this is like having a religious experience.

At first listen, Bjerre's light voice sounds rather ordinary. But as the album wears on, he sounds hopeful and slightly forlorn, as he sings songs of exquisite strangeness. "Are you, my lady, are you?... In a submersible I can hardly breathe/As it takes me inside, so the light sings/Answer me truthfully/Do the clouds kiss you/With meringue-coloured hair?"

From spun-glass ballads to epic hard-rock, Mew twines together all sorts of styles into their own art-rock masterpiece. Absolutely stunning.

Dream Pop/Shoegaze.......2006-10-25

this is in response to the person who said that Mew doesn't sound like MBV etc..

Mew do actually sound like all of those bands you mentioned, they just take it in a different, more updated direction. listen to the Ride song OX4 and tell me you don't hear the similarities between that song and Comforting Sounds.

it's Dream Pop for the new millenium. like... Sigur Ros, Mogwai, M83, Amusement Parks On Fire... etc, etc. they are all, in my opinion, updating that old Creation Records, 4AD sound.

anyhow, Mew are an amazing band. check them out.

Shoegaze? No........2006-10-05

I've given this album (and Frengers) many listens. I've never thought of Mew as sounding like a shoegaze band. For anyone who would be put off by the notion that this album sounds anything like Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, or Ride, I'd like to make a few points.

This is pop-rock with an obvious prog influence. "An Envoy to Open Fields" sounds like something Genesis would do (Gabriel era, not Collins).

The music is often a little haunting. The synthesizers and vocals are often ethereal and dreamy. These attributes are present in the shogaze genre. However, these attributes are also present in prog rock genre.

For what it's worth, I'm a big fan of both genres.

Mew seems to be walking a tightrope.......2006-09-12

The Danish quartet Mew may yet be onto something potentially great. Certainly, "And the Glass Handed Kites" offers many transcendent moments when the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. In those moments, the soaring vocal choruses, guitar riffs, rippling bass, and pumped up percussion break through a cloying veneer of overproduction and nagging strings.

Mew seems to be walking a tightrope, part power, part emo, but the strength of the songs and performances win out. Singer Jonas Bjerre, guitarist Bo Madsen, bassist Johan Wohlert, and drummer Silas Graae still have plenty of time to hook up with some producer such as Brian Eno or Daniel Lanois who could shift them to the next level, diminish the strings, and focus on the core elements that drive the sound.

If you are like me, the awful CD booklet with an unreadable italic san-serif type and poorly rendered artwork does little to tempt the curious. Let's hope for improvements on Mew's next release.
