Album Description

Rabbit In The Moon have established an enormous fan base with the release of their 12-inch singles, remix work, and exploration in live performance. With their world renowned remixes for Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode, Sarah McLachlan, Garbage, and countless others, it's no wonder they have the world eagerly awaiting the release of their first full-length CD/DVD. Their style of electronic music is timeless, but to truly understand this group is to see and hear them live. This 80+ minute DVD takes you behind the scenes and in front of thousands of screaming fans at one of their live festival performances, shot in Hi-Def with a 5.1 Surround Sound mix.

Customer Reviews:

A great release from a the legendary RITM!.......2007-07-13

I think this is a *fanstatic* release, mostly because of the DVD content, but I like the CD a lot as well. Being the fan that I am, I couldn't give this any less than 5 stars for that DVD content being what it is. Yes, there is some dated stuff on the album, but it is called "Decade", and the song "Deeper" alone justifies that title. I see some of the other reviewers who are fans, but giving it low-star reviews, that's really too bad. It may be because they were expecting a full new CD of all new material, and didn't get that. Still, I see that those of us who "know the deal", so to speak, know that the essence of Rabbit In The Moon is the live show, I think the DVD content gives a pretty close approximation to what it's actually like to see them live. But tell me, who, of the RITM fans among us, especially those who have seen them live in the least year, didn't FLIP out when they were listening to the "Decade" CD and heard the phrase "Look into the eye!" for the first time, on track 8.. with memories flooding in of Bunny with his TV-on-a-stick?? I know I did. And that song is followed by the AMAZING rendition of David Bowie's "Let's Dance", followed by Deeper (which is admittedly old
but is a classic and couldn't be excluded) but then there's a brand new mix of O.B.E. that, correct me if I'm wrong, has never been released before. (And I own the original Phases O.B.E. 12" record). I love the new mix of that song, and I think it's a great album, even though every single song doesn't thrill me. But even with this CD, some of the older RITM songs that I never really liked much before, like Dubbasex for example, listened carefully and given them another chance, and found they are actually very subtle and beautiful songs.

There is more newer material on the album than some reviewers let on, in fact well over half of it is new. There are a few ommissions, IMO, for example I would have liked to see "Electro Accupuncture" on this CD, but then again that has been released before on a CD, still I think it would have fit in well here though as well. I love the DVD the most, because it reminds me why I've been such a huge fan for so many years, with probably about 7 shows under my belt. To all the fans out there, buy this album! Show your support! Remember the old Zen Festial 96-97 shows, with Bunny, in his disco-ball suit, being lowered by a cable from the ceiling! remember how you felt at those times. They have earned our suport! To those folks new to the electronica genre, this is a good glimpse into understanding the engima that is Rabbit in the Moon... RITM so much more than can possible be described in one album, album review, DVD, magazine article, or antyhing else. There's a whole history and culture behind these guys'one-of-a-kind stlye of performance art, and I think this release captures the essence of it almost as best you could with the amount of material provided. Buy it for the DVD, but then take the audio CD, put in in your car stereo, put on track 8, and crank it up!

Great yet lacking.......2007-07-12

So, if your a rabbit head like me, you've probably heard most of these tracks at their shows. So why is this CD a great purchase? Quite simply because you are a rabbit head and they need our support. If you're new to Rabbit in the Moon then you need to hear what the music is about. The really cool feature is that in the DVD each suit comes with an explanation which will help new listeners/show goers to understand the meaning of the show as a whole and the suits individually. Are there tracks missing? Absolutely. The now famous jungle track used for the dragon slaying sequence is missing, so is the old light suit track which is a favorite amongst show goers. However, the single most significant fact about this release is the release it self. If this goes good, we will see a new Rabbit in the Moon CD sometime soon. Remember, this is their first attempt at this, so lets support them. After all, they have been connecting to us for over a decade, the least we can do is buy the CD.

Finally!.......2007-07-12

Yes, many of the tracks have been previously released. Yes, much of the album sounds like a product of the 90s. Should that be a problem if the music is good?

I am pleased to witness this finally see the light of day. The music sounds great with a pair of headphones, and the DVD only makes it better.

15 years later, they deliver... but no surprises.......2007-07-11

I've been listening to Rabbit in the Moon for 13 years... heck, the first time I ever rolled was at a RITM show in 1994. I love these guys. Now, this album is solid, but not ground-breaking. It's not really phoned in, but then it's not really innovative either. That's partially because these are almost all old tracks. I think there's actually only one track on the entire album that wasn't previously released. Some of these date back, literally, a decade. In fact, "Out of Body Experience" was released in '93, so they could have called it "Decade and a Half". Anyways, the new track is pretty cool, a cover of David Bowie's "Let's Dance". For longtime fans though, it's really about the DVD. The footage is great, including some from a protest rally at the WTO in the Czech Republic. So even though the album doesn't have much new to offer old fans, it's still worth picking up. For interested newbies, it's a must-buy. It's put together very well, with appropriate mixes of each track chosen. It nearly brought a tear to my eye finally hearing all these tracks in album format. I think that alot of "long-time" fans will be highly disappointed because they've never heard these tracks sitting at home, sober. Yes, obviously, ANYTHING will sound better when you're high, on a gigantic soundsystem. Go pick up some decent headphones, find some good visuals, and let RITM carry you away into your own out of body experience.

RECYCLED DECADE.......2007-07-11

I hate this because I am a great fan . . . but I have to admit that these guys haven't really done much lately.
Their shows are AMAZING! The stuff of legend, but they seem to have not had much commitment to new
studio projects asides from the occasional remix. This is all stuff that has been recycled from the past decade.
It really is a shame because the talent is there, I wish I didn't have to say this, but, I call as I see it.

Amazon.com

Channeling the evocative storytelling of Laura Nyro and the soulful sexiness of Dusty Springfield, singer/songwriter Jenny Lewis skips all contemporary studio gimmickry to proffer a near-perfect solo debut. The front-woman for indie darlings Rilo Kiley breaks away from the songwriting democracy she shares with that band's co-leader Blake Sennett (also of the Elected), drawing inspiration from the crackling vinyl albums of her youth. And from the opening notes of "Run Devil Run," an acapella gospel hymn sung with the Watson Twins, through the note-for-note cover of the Traveling Wilbury's "Handle With Care" (with Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst and Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard), Lewis verifies this is her record. Her goose-bump voice can be as mournful as it is optimistic, but remains perpetually mesmerizing on Rabbit Fur Coat's best songs: the god-fearing country-rocker "The Charging Sky," the radio-poppy "You Are What You Love" and, especially, the title track, a haunting, solo-guitar waltz of poor meets rich. --Scott Holter

Album Description

Known and loved by many as the enchanting front-woman for LA's Rilo Kiley, Jenny's vocal and songwriting gifts have continued to blossom at a rapid rate since that band's first album in 2000. Jenny's hauntingly soulful voice, sometimes bursting with buoyant spirit and at other times plaintive and world wearied, is deep, sensual and beguiling. Intricate storytelling and evocative lyrics infuse these songs with a captivating vibrancy but may be knocked sideways by the musical alchemy at play as a result of folk, country, and Southern gospel influences.

Customer Reviews:

Close your eyes and think of her.......2007-03-16

This album reminds me of that fresh breath of artistic creativity Mary Chapin Carpenter brought to the music world those some years ago. And the Watson Twins - what beauties and with such great vocals. Like all music, the beauty is in the ear of the beholder (so to speak), and I really like this album. Especially the harmonizing provided by (I believe) the Watson Twins. Did I tell you they were beautiful? And have beautiful voices?

This CD provides some interesting stories set to unique music and vocalizations. With harmonizing provided by the Watson Twins. I close my eyes and think of them both. All three. I like it.

One of the best americana albums of 2006!.......2007-03-02

Great album altogether. Honestly, her version of "Handle me with care" blows away the original, even though it does contain vocals from that over-rated emo whiner, Ben Gibbard. At least Jenny's voice is better than Tom Petty's!

One of the Best Albums of 2006.......2007-02-18

I really like Rilo Kiley so I was interested to listen to this Jenny Lewis solo effort. But being a fan of Rilo Kiley definitely won't guarantee that you'll enjoy this album.

It's a lot more twangy and folksy than Rilo Kiley which appeals more to the college radio crowd but I must admit that I play this record more often than "More Adventurous" which is an album I adore; "Rabbit Fur Coat" just strikes me as being more original and better realized.

Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins have managed to record one of the most memorable albums of 2006. I'm not alone in this assessment. NPR did a list of the best albums of '06 and this, not surprisingly, was on it.

Better as a solo artist?.......2007-02-12

Rilo Kiley is a great band, there's no doubt. But Jenny Lewis has done something with this solo project that, to my estimation, is in a different league. It's folksy, it's catchy... the songs just get stuck in your head. Her voice is the best feature of Rilo Kiley anyway, but it seems that with this project, she's really bloomed. She seems almost weepy on songs like "Happy" and "Melt Your Heart," but the strength of great stuff like "The Big Guns" and "You Are What you Love" that will keep you coming back for more. A good balance across the board, not too much of any one thing.

I expected soooo much more.......2007-01-21

not good, Im sorry, Im a big big rilo kiley fan, and this cannot hold a candle to any release. Shes trying something new, and its not good. My opinion? no....

Album Description

HEM's debut album Rabbit Songs now available again through Rounder Records.

HEM has drawn comparisons to artists as disparate as Nick Drake, Mazzy Star, Sandy Denny and Jeff Buckley and drawn fans as varied as The Chemical Brothers, Glenn Tilbrook, Linda Thompson, James Iha and Beth Orton. The music is lush and filled with eclectic harmonies: a mandolin enveloped by an 18-piece orchestra, a pedal steel accentuated by a glockenspiel, underpinned by guitar and piano in an elaborate framework. And through it all, Sally Ellyson's beautiful voice shaping each word. ASCAP award-winning songwriter and Rabbit Songs Co-Producer, Dan Messé sold off most of his personal possessions so he could afford the orchestras, and the luxury of being as painstaking as they wanted over the arrangements of each song. No samples, no synths, no Pro-Tools mixing and no digital studio wizardry were employed. Rabbit Songs is an old school album, recorded the old school way. Guitarist / Co-Producer Gary Maurer, a seasoned studio engineer, has engineered and / or produced a host of artists and bands including Jon Spencer, Luna and Fountains Of Wayne. "Sally Ellyson has one of those voices - an understated powerhouse that wows with serene confidence. The result is a rich debut that shouldn't be overlooked" - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

Truly wonderful.......2007-05-20

I heard this music as background for an insurance commercial about good deeds leading to other good deeds. Little did they know that using that music led to the good deed of introducing me to this truly wonderful band.

Amazing - true musical tallent beyond belief.......2006-11-30

My father introduced me to rabbit songs when it first came out. He was truely a music man and would give me tips on unusual and fantastic talent. My father past on a few years back and some family members and I saw HEM in concert in NY. We had e-mailed the HEM web site and requested they play "Leave me here" in his honor at that concert and they did - the most wonderful performance I have ever seen. No music will ever move me to tears and emotion like HEM and I am so grateful to have been lucky enough to see them live. Thank you HEM. You are truely amazing musicians.

Great songs, great singer.......2006-11-05

This is an amazing CD. I love all the songs and that is quite unusual. I never heard of the band before the song Half Acre was used in that commercial. They have a fresh, very well put together sound. The cd is professional without feeling over produced.

Wonderful!.......2006-09-17

I have owned this CD by Hem for over a year. I purchased it based on the original review in Entertainment Weekly magazine. I listened to it nearly every day for almost 6 months. It is still in heavy rotation in my CD player and I have recommended it to numerous friends. I find the music soothing and calming. I was surprised and pleased to hear Hem's music as part of the recent Liberty Mutual ad campaign. If people are attracted to the music through the ad, great! The same thing happened to Iron and Wine with their M & M ad. I hope you enjoy this CD as much as I have.

Pure Americana Musical Bliss.......2006-07-29

Hem composes and plays some of the most honest and gorgeous music ever committed to recording material today. This antiquated (and I mean that in a very nice way) collection of heartfelt and emotional songs seems to harken back to a nice and simple time when America was bathed in a pastoral haze of sunshine and simplicity. To achieve their unique and homespun organic sound, Hem utilizes acoustic and electric instrumentation that takes the listener to a place where one can truly escape the everyday hectic drudgery of the rat race and chill out. In this ho hum world of musical dreck, I highly recommend listening to Hem! See them live if you can. Excellent musicianship!

Great movie, better soundtrack.......2007-05-19

I just recently saw this movie and the only thing I could think about afterwards was that I had to get this soundtrack. I'm not usually a big fan of movie soundtracks, but this cd is unlike any other out there, soundtrack or not. The use of strings and carnaval type instruments is completely unique and makes this a must by for any fan of music.

great collection of unusual music.......2007-05-07

Rented the movie on reccomendation from Netflix, it was pretty good. But the music was the star of the show. The soundtrack follows the course of the movie pretty closely, it's kind of like listening to the movie. Each track brings to mind a specific scene in the movie. One of the highlights is the ecclectic treatment of Burt Bacharach's "Close to You". Most will remember the super-sweet Carpenter's version, but this interpretation was the main reason I bought the music. Unusual augmented chord progressions and almost minimalist format (complete with the mechanical background sounds made by the female jack-in-the-box-like, life-sized, mostly metal toy dressers) make the tune as captivating as in the movie when they 'convert' the trapped Helena into the black princess. Great music to play while relaxing, too.

Supurb.......2007-03-08

This soundtrack is truly a delight to listen to. It ranges from quirky circus music to deep and melodic mysterious tunes. It is a great CD to relax to and to use as background music for most any relaxing time hanging out with friends.

Amazing!.......2007-02-24

This is a very good soundtrack to a very good movie. The music is amazingly composed and is nice to listen to.

excellent.......2007-01-17

This CD is excellent! All the music from the movie in its entirety, all the songs are complete songs, and the songs are all top notch compositions.

Symphony For The Record Industry. 1998.

Customer Reviews:

This group, although not widely known, plays some of the best blues based rock going on anywhere. This is the better of all their albums thus far and is highly recommended. It stayed in my active play rotation for quite some time.

Top Notch Performers.......2007-06-12

If you are into the Kustom Kulture then this garage band is a must for your next party! No gear head should be with out it!

A desert island disc if there ever was one.......2007-02-19

The Detroit Cobras are the garage band of your dreams. Lock up your young and most impressionable little rock 'n' roll fans, and play this for 'em at full volume. They'll be screaming for more. Book-ended by the booty-shakin' opening of "Cha Cha Twist" and the most rollicking, unrelenting cover of Jackie DeShannon and Irma Thomas' "Breakaway" that you'll ever hear, there's nary a lull and by the time "Midnight Blues" rolls around, all will be right in the world and you'll be loving life again. The grinding, roughhouse guitar is totally primal - imagine the love child of Keith Richards and Link Wray - and Rachel Nagy's smoky snarl will make you think very unangelic thoughts. An American classic, already.

These guys kick @$#!!!!!!!.......2005-08-27

I have over 1000 CDs. If I could only keep 10 of them, this would be number 2 on the keeper list!

On a Personal Note..........2004-04-14

VERY VERY WEIRD...but I went to high school with Rachel Nagy. Honestly, I am really suprised at her talent. Really great rock outfit here, and she is a phenominal singer. Probably one of the best out there. I don't think I'd be going out on a limb comparing her to Janice Joplin...she just has that extra something special. Who knew? "Hitting on Nothing" is amazing.

Though it's the "cast album" to the touring Bugs Bunny on Broadway show, which featured a 50-piece orchestra playing to the original cartoons, the real stars here are not the musicians but Carl Stalling and Milton J. Franklyn. As the composers behind the Looney Toons cartoons, Stalling (and later Franklyn) expertly composed scores that borrowed from classical music, popular songs of the day, and the whimsical compositions of Raymond Scott. Working with talents like Chuck Avery (the most musically adventurous of Bugs Bunny's directors) and voice actors Arthur Q. Bryan (Elmer Fudd) and Mel Blanc (virtually everybody else), they created some of the best-loved music of the century. They also introduced classical music to new generations through their loving reenactments of Rossini's The Barber of Seville (as "The Rabbit of Seville") and, amazingly, the entire Ring cycle (condensed to seven minutes in "What's Opera, Doc?"). Not as expansive as the two volumes of the Carl Stalling Project, Bugs Bunny on Broadway nevertheless is a fine collection that concentrates on an oft-overlooked legacy of Bugs Bunny and company. --Randy Silver

Customer Reviews:

Not For Purists.......2004-09-22

If you have an ear for the original recordings, then this collection is not for you. On tracks like "The Rabbit of Seville" the switch from the original soundtrack to the modern re-recording is both jarring and unsatisfying. If you loved the "live" show then this may bring back some memories for you. If you want to hear the original performances of the great music from Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, I recommend "The Carl Stalling Project" instead.

Cute CD for Looney Tunes fans.......2004-04-03

Sure, it's not for everyone's taste but no fan of Bugs or Daffy can be without this CD. Outside of the famous 'Merry Go Round Broke Down' and Merrie Melodies theme the Looney Tunes cartoons are well known for paying tribute to and parodying classical music and there's loads of that behavior to be had on this CD. The popular song 'What's Up Doc' is also featured here and there's just enough of Daffy Duck included to keep me happy. Hard to come by but worth getting if you can pick it up cheap.

Oh, the memories this brings back!.......2003-03-05

I never thought I'd hear some of these again. At their height, the Warner Brothers studio used classical music very cleverly in their animations, and this compilation gives us a sampling of the best. About the only thing that made me not give it the full five stars was that it didn't have the excellent "Daffy's Rhapsody."

BRILLIANT AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE; THE CD IS JUST AS GREAT.......2002-03-12

I just had the incredible pleasure of seeing this production, conducted by George Daugherty, at The Sydney Opera House. If the week of sold-out audiences were any indications, it's "adult kids" who really love the classic Looney Tunes cartoons. Ordered the CD immediately from Amazon when I got home, and have relived this magnificent production over and over. The music is as incredible as the animation, and Carl Stalling's incredible collaboration with the brilliant Chuck Jones is even more evident when one is just listening to the incredible orchestral performances of these spectacular scores. With the death of Mr. Jones, this CD is even more of a memento of a brilliant golden age of American animated cinema. As we say down here "downunder," it's a bloody ripper!!! (And that's a supreme compliment in Australian!!!!)

Bugs at the Bowl.......2001-07-14

Oh what joy there is in Bugs Bunny. Santa Claus came down the chimney last Christmas and left a beautifully wrapped gift with my name on it underneath our Christmas tree. A CD? For me? Yes, it was. I listened entranced and recaptured so many happy memories of my favourite Chuck Jones characters, all brought vividly to life in George Daugherty's brilliant Bugs Bunny on Broadway. But that wasn't the end of my dreams come true. I was lucky enough to see Bugs brought to life again at The Hollywood Bowl.

Aside from a multimedia pastiche he did for England's millennium celebration, this soundtrack for Philip Noyce's film marks Peter Gabriel's first full slate of original recordings in nearly a decade. In the meantime, Gabriel's globally ambitious Real World musical mini-empire has taken precedence; the knowledge the musician gleaned there is immediately apparent in his film cues here. While the booming electro-tribal rhythms of previous Gabriel work come instantly into play, there's a sense of spacious mystery that's perfectly emblematic of the story's Australian outback setting. Gabriel's penchant for dense aural construction gives way to an ambient soundscape punctuated by Aboriginal percussion, didgeridoo, and bird song, and occasionally washed over by lolling tides of synth and samples. It's an atmosphere that, like the Aboriginal world it evokes, is nearly devoid of traditional melody, but one infused with a gripping, almost subliminal power. "Cloudless" then brings in haunting indigenous voices as well, intertwining them with a wordless, Westernized choral to emphasize Gabriel's compelling world music vision. --Jerry McCulley

Ancient and Modern.......2006-12-27

If you are expecting a Peter Gabriel Rock album, stay away from this CD.
Forget all the hits you already know from PG. and listen to this great Soundtrack.
Inspired by field recordings collected in areas as diverse as the Senegal, Egypt, Turkey and other places, Long Walk Home achieves a cumulative effect of all Gabriel's fascination with world music, delivering fantastic fusion of ancient and modern sounds ultimately transcends both geography and time.
As far as I am concerned, this is Gabriel's best film work, deserving a serious consideration, as his finest music of any kind.
This is one of my favorite Soundtrack music in my collection.

Once again, Gabriel shines.......2006-07-05

Gabriel's future works will always be compared to 1989's "LAST TEMPTATION...." and this one clearly stands close. "Gracie's Recapture," "The Return," and "Running..." were remixed together for the first movie preview of Gibson's "THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST" and would probably serve as a better score to that movie (no offense to Debney) than to this one. Still, Gabriel's score does work for this film, though only a handfull of tracks will be listened to repeatedly.

5 Stars for Rabbit Proof Fence.......2006-02-01

This is one of my most favourite scores of all time, and I own over 400 movie scores. What Peter Gabriel has done here as a composer is infuse a film with a vibrancy and heart breaking power that it wouldn't have had otherwise. It's such a mature and wonderful piece of work, one has to wonder why Gabriel doesn't compose more films.
Rabbit Proof Fence has been labelled as pointless background music by some. Hogwash. Yes, there are a few stretches on this album that are meant to be quiet, unobtrusive moments of background underscore, but to label this score as such is denying it of the power this CD contains. There are moments in this score, like Running to the Rain, Gracie's Rapture, and The Return that are so beautiful, so stunning, so tragic, so uplifting (this isn't a contradiction - you'll understand when you hear it yourself) that it's impossible to express it's greatness in words. And then the two songs at the end, Sky Blue Reprise and Cloudless, take you up to heights that few pieces of music can.
Gabriel here proves that he's more than a great singer/songwriter, as he did with Passion and to a lesser extent, Birdy; he's also one of the strongest film composers out there. This is truly one of the best CD's I own. To listen to it is a spiritual experience for me as the music picks up and soars to beautiful heights. I'm serious. This is wonderful stuff. Pick it up as soon as you can. I promise you won't be sorry.

interesting connections.......2005-12-21

One thing I found particularly interesting is this:
Peter Gabriel did the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's 1989 film "The Last Temptation of Christ", which was of course entitled, "Passion".

Is it just coincidence, then, that "Running to the Rain", one of the best songs on "Long Walk Home", obviously also by Peter Gabriel, was clearly used as the main theme to advertise the theatrical television trailers of Mel Gibson's recent film "The Passion"? Am I the only one who noticed this at the time??

Also, while watching "The Passion" in the theater, I was absolutely convinced that Peter Gabriel had done the soundtrack to that film as well, since it sounded so startlingly similar to both "Long Walk Home" and "Passion". seems there was quite a lot of "borrowing" going on with John Debney's composing methods and inspirations... hmm..

anyway, this is a great album. very contemplative and spacious. not as fast paced or rhythmic as Passion, but fits the atmosphere and theme of "Rabbit Proof Fence" quite well.

A masterpiece.......2004-09-15

First heard elements of this composition on the pre-marketed "Passion of the Christ" trailer released by Icon Films in late 2003, prior to Newmarket sponsorship.
The music in many of these tracks will bring one to tears, and musically there are fewer more talented than Peter Gabriel. His skill beams thru in this pensive, dark, and triumphant film score. A must-have for those who appreciate modern classics.

Album Description

Gram Rabbit emerged from the high desert of Joshua Tree, California armed with a repertoire partaking of reverberant space rock, electro-pop glitz, shadowy spaghetti-Western twang, and the low-down sexiness of the seemlier Las Vegas lounge in equal measures. This trio was born from the muso-spiritual melding of diverse, extraordinary souls: singer/keyboardist/guitarist Jesika von Rabbit; guitarist/singer Todd Rutherford; and Travis Cline, their sample-guru and bassist.

Gram Rabbit's debut album, Music To Start a Cult To, was recorded with Ethan Allen producing (Tricky, Kristin Hersh and Luscious Jackson, etc.) Echoing the musical and personal odysseys that led to the band members creating this album, each track takes the listener on a unique journey shepherded by the stirring, soulful, and seductive vocal stylings of bewitching front woman, Jesika von Rabbit.

Music To Start a Cult To kicks off with the leather-chapped sing-a-long "Dirty Horse," a fanciful recounting of a rapprochement between Jesus and the Devil. "Witness" is an ode to self-actualization, set to a sinuous beat and Space Invaders synth stylings. "Kill A Man" sets a deceptively winsome commentary on the culture of gratuitous violence to gentle guitar strumming, interwoven with electronic cirrus clouds. "Devil's Playground" is somber tumbleweed-choked country-folk depicting the common struggle of everyday life.

Imagine walking into a honkytonk, deep in the heart of desert country. The clientele includes devil worshippers, witches, hippies, rock climbers, military men, and the random soul-searching tourist, all gathered to hear alien frequencies channeled by Morse code keyboards, slithering reverb-laden guitars, tick-tocking drum machines and samplers that yield a shocking surprise every 40 odd seconds. All eyes, however, are focused on the singer; she's wearing bunny ears. Oh-so-sexily, she deadpans, "Sometimes all it takes is a little smile or some chocolate cake; to put a spring in the step of the bi-polar fool."

Consistent Brilliance.......2007-05-03

Every song on here is not only different, but a gem. No matter what CDs or artists I'm phasing through, I always come back to this eclectic album and its refreshingly original band. I cannot get enough! A must-have for anyone who's sick of the current batch of mindless filth masquerading as music and invading our airwaves.

Down the Royal Order of Rabbits hole..........2007-03-14

Found on MySpace, this band quickly became one of my favorites.

A unique blend of techno, folk, and trance this band will never fail to deliver individuality and soothing, rhythmic sound.

Definitely for those who want to expand their musical mind!

Kinky Sex.......2005-09-16

I love this album...like I love kinky sex. Fun, creative, usually in dimly lit places...this album sucks you in, transporting you to a desert oasis inhabited by cowboys and aliens and psychedelic drugs. All the right ingredients for good old-fashioned fun.

This band really draws you in.......2005-07-12

I was lucky enough to see Gram Rabbit opening for The Ravonettes a few week ago at Spaceland, in Silverlake, CA. I'd never heard of them before, but after the first few songs I was hooked. The Ravonettes were great, but I left that night with a Hunger for More Rabbit!

This is a band that is great on disk, but to experience them live is beyond the pale...

oh, and the dancing rabbits, the dancing rabbits....

Twilight ZOne.......2005-03-20

It's got to be destiny that I would happen upon this band playing on a live local t.v. show one night at the same time that I've started reading The Dark Tower series and watched Mars Attacks(could have been on the sound track) twice in a week! I couldn't have found a more perfect fitting of music to my mood or choices for tv and reading...I was so excited, I ordered the cd the next day...I love it!

This music has this dark undertone to go with the western twang/electronic sampling...and when you are emerged in it's sound and von Rabbits' voice and the lyrics, and you close your eyes...you FEEL the nights' stars above you...the dry desert wind on your skin...your mind opens and you think maybe aliens do exist... ;)

The tunes are very much their own and I cannot honestly say there are any obvious influences of anyone else's music, which is how 99.9% of the bands sound these days.

My father-in law lives in the desert and has seen Gram Rabbit play many times at the Beatnik and says they are excellent live(I'm still upset that he didn't tell me about them!), so I hope I get to catch their show in a smaller venue before they have too many followers in their Royal Order of Rabbits!

At the same time that I'd like to be selfish and keep them all to myself, I can't help but spread the word of the Rabbit with the World! GET IT!

Rabbit on Charlie.......2002-01-18

Rabbit in the Moon is an awesome act, but that is the point; you NEED to see them live to fully savour, appreciate and understand their special ectoblend of trippy/ambient/trance. I was fortunate to witness RITM at Checkpoint Charlie, which is without doubt the world's premier dance party held annually in a magical, Hobbitonesque forest outside of Wellington, New Zealand. The performance was spellbinding, leaving the forest dwellers on an incredible high - a kind of contagious wave swept thyrough the trees and filled 3000 partygoers with, um...a kinda natural sense of ecstacy. There was much love in the glade and everyone had lid-locked glazzies for each other. Having seen this act, this CD - any RITM CD - is awesome, mainly because the music opens a deluge of wonderful memories. But hey - if you are into trippy trance, buy this CD because it is as good as anything else in the genre. However, the music will be tenfold more impactful if you witness it live. Should the opportunity present itself, believe me, take it.
Enjoy - DC, NZ

The most beautiful music I've heard in a long time.......2001-07-19

I burned a copy of this cd from a friend after hearing the first track. When I listened to the rest of it I was in awe. Track #7 is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I'm actually trying to learn to play it on the piano I love it so much

Simply the Best.......2000-12-10

Of all the RITM remixes, this CD single stands out in its stylization and creativity. There's drum 'n bass, overlays of trance and funky breaks. I love this CD when I need to chill out and just think. By the way, FLOORI.D.A. is available on vinyl from their web site hallucination.com. If they ever come to your area, they are definitely a must see.

Friggin' hell! this is godly!.......2000-11-15

Three words for ya: RiTM is god. With that said, all you can do now is buy this cd, cause unless your some weirdo who hates everything, your gonna love this cd...

A marvelous CD.......2000-11-15

This is an absolutely wonderful CD. It's incredibly addictive. There's breaks here, drum 'n' bass, electro, and a few other genres which I forget. It's got that epic quality to it, like you could either dance to it or chill, depending on how you're feeling. It'd be nice if the original mix was here, but the "Handled Without Care" mix is pretty darn close. I LOVE the piano breakdown, but then, I'm a sucker for piano in dance music. I also like the AK1200 mix; it especially shows the softer side of AK1200.

RitM is playing live in my area next week, and I wish I had the money to go, but it's going to be a $35 super-massive event. If you ever have the chance to see them, go, you will not be disappointed. (And by the way, there *are* RitM tracks which get pressed to vinyl....but you really have to look and hunt any time you want a specific vinyl record.)

Just bought it, now I'm throwing it away...........2007-01-10

I am a big admirer, after first buying Seven Swans (still my favorite), then Illinoise and Avalanche. I wanted to fill up the collection so I got this along with Michigan and a Sun Came... This is such a waste of money if you're looking for his usual brilliant compositions, melodies, and voice. Simply NOT enjoyable.

Not what I expected from such a great artist.......2007-01-09

I purchased this album, having already owned his "Illinois" and "Michigan" albums. My expectations were not met in the slightest. While Sufjan Stevens is hit or miss within his good albums (he experiments, and I dont like some of those experiments), I felt like writing NFG on this CD after I listened to it. [NFG is an engineering term for No F###ing Good] It is an abstract piece of music, no melody, no harmony, no beauty, no meaningful lyrics. Nothing worth listening to, in my opinion. I was heartily disappointed in an artist I am usually praising. Know what you are getting into with this one.

Self-Indulgent Junk.......2007-01-04

This is not the brilliant Sufjan Stevens you know and love from "Illinois" and "Seven Swans." Rather, this is an instrumental hodge-podge of noises, sometimes catchy, often discordant. Save your money and buy one of his other albums.

Freakin' Brilliant!!!.......2006-08-23

Just bought this album after thoroughly enjoying Sufjan's Brian Wilson -like Illinios album. This album could not be more different!
Enjoy Your Rabbit sounds like Aphex Twin attempting to perform Tubular Bells. Perhaps a meeting of Brian Wilson, Mike Oldfield, Philip Glass and Aphex Twin. OUTSTANDING!!! If I could make an album this phenominal I could die a happy man. I was completely blown away by all of the minute detail that he has put into Rabbit.
Can't wait to listen to it again when I get up tomorrow. You just have to hear it to believe it.
Best of luck to you in the future Sufjan!

Chill.......2006-07-17

Sufjan Stevens is probably the most talented kid on the block. This album is before the greatness of Illinois and The Great Lakes State, and it shows where sufjans melodies come from. He is a not a lyric driven folk musician like 99.9% before him, he is a melody driven musician much like any ambient music(ie air, zero 7, even radiohead). Granted this is a much larger pill to swallow, but dont give up on the rabbit, he will impress you more with each listen, and after the pill makes it down, Illinois and Michigan sound even more genious.
