I would expect so much more from this band.......2006-10-12

Bar far the Gandharvas worst album. I saw them live dozens of times during the 90's. If you like the First Day of Spring, then you might like some of their other songs too. But "Kicking in the Water" really captures their live sound, and the essense of the band. Buy that album instead, and download First Day of Spring from somewhere else. "Soap Bubble" is an OK album too, but not solid top to bottom. I was majorly dissappointed with Sold for A Smile. So much promise from such a great band, but this album simply doesn't connect.

I only know one song.......2002-12-14

I only just learned today who sang the song"First day of spring", but I had to write and tell people it is probably the best song in the world and I am currently trying to find the cd so I can listen to this group in its entirety.

ability to float your head off.......2002-02-13

The Gandharvas have the ability to float your head off your shoulder and away, as displayed on the popular single from their last album, with an airy, drifting shower of sound--unfortunately that ability is put to use only once or twice on this album. Instead, we get entertaining music with sparkles of that possibility. You just wish they'd let go of the tight hold of the reign over these songs, and be off where they may. They do let loose on the closer Diaboloney and in a rowdy, uncouth way--but they would do best to do more as they do on Waiting For Something To Happen/Reprise, which fades in on itself before a fuse is lit and the song burns brightly from the inside out.
The Gandharvas would sound better for me if they let their dreamy side wash over all the nasty edges.

Love it.......2001-07-14

This CD still gets me going after some 3 years. Downtime and Watching The Girl are everyones favourites, but you can get into the rest just as well. 5 stars for this one!

gandharvas.......2001-01-01

I can't believe there are only 4 reviews for this excellent CD. Although, they haven't really caught on in the states. I live only a half hour or so from Canada, and only hear them once in a while on the radio. The singles are "Downtime" and "First Day of Spring", and while Downtime is still one of my favorites, the best on the CD, in my opinion, are "Watching the Girl" and their cover of the often-covered "Time after Time" by Cyndi Lauper, which is the best version I've heard, much better than the original. The only low spots are Shells, which I can just not get into, and Waiting for Something To Happen, only because the second half of the song is filled with the same riffs over and over again, and no lyrics. The Gandharvas have a very eclectic style which includes alternative, softer rock and even heavy metal (Diaboloney). If you are looking for a new band to check out, you may want to check out the Gandharvas.
