A Welcome Suprise.......2004-09-09

I bought this CD because of "Best Of Me" which recieved minor radio play. I was completely surprised by the overall appeal of this CD.

The first track, "As Good As You", is a little reminiscent of Hootie & The Blowfish's "Hannah Jane" with rustic vocals and a strong chorus. Strong tracks include "The One", "Look At You Now" and "Torn Asunder".

This is one CD you can listen to from start to finish and not get bored.

A great band that got stiffed.......2003-04-18

Far Too Jones was a little band I discovered in about 1997 after hearing "Best of Me" on the radio in Chicago. The band had lots of potential, but alas it was not to be realized. After the single "Best of Me" hit minor radio success, the band started to work on a follow up album that is title "Shame and Her Sister", another great album, but their record company restructured and most, if not all, of the smaller bands were dropped.

Back to the album though. The album has a unique sound that few bands come close to comparing to, and none duplicate. From their haunting ballad of "Close to You" (A personal favorite) to the upbeat rock/pop sounds of "Best of Me" the album blends ingeneous lyrics with fun melodies for sounds that make you never want to take the CD out of your player. Other songs such as "As Good As You" (another minor radio hit) and "Nameless" are fun songs that you will want to listen to again and again. Mostly a rock band, although I will admit some pop shows through, Far Too Jones is a CD that you should give a try. Who knows it may start the same love affair with the band it started for me. Also make sure to check out their new band called the clear, they will soon have their new album up for free on their website for people to download.

Happy Listening!

In a word - FANTASTIC!.......2003-01-30

This is the best rock/pop CD I have ever heard! Buy it and be amazed. If you like Nickleback, Toploader, The Calling, Hootie, Vertical Horizon & even the mighty MATCHBOX 20, Jones blow them away!
I cant recommend this CD highly enough.........BUY IT!

great band.......2002-12-28

If only Far Too Jones was still here.
They are now reformed and are called "the clear".
I let my old cd get scratched up and now I am [out of luck in buying another.
Do not let this happen to one of your favorite band's cds or else you will be[as upset]as I am.
Good luck to them in the future because they are a [great] band!

Not Well Known, but among the best out there.......2002-03-15

These guys are great, not only are they great live but I have owned this cd for over 4 years and it is still one of the few cd's I can listen to on a regular basis, that meens alot considering my collection of over 400 cd's. I recommend that if you read this review, you go out and but this CD immediatly. Give yourself a treat, you'll not be disappointed. I really can't praise these guys enough, P.S. The song, The One is ezcellent!

I am a Pan Fan!.......2004-04-25

I do not know about the above album per se, but I do have a prized CD of Ron Elliott's when he created a band named PAN and created it's self-titled debut album, PAN. I have a Japanese release of the CD. I literally listen to this CD at least two or three times a day. The most stunning song on PAN is a song I heard on the radio in 1972 until 1976 called "Lady Honey". When I hear that song I stop everything I am doing and listen. I also love "Rag Doll", "Long Way Home", "Dancing to the Band", "Delinda De Mattae". The entire feel of the CD is that he is madly in love. Whomever he wrote that song about is the luckiest lady in the world. Thank you Ron!

Outstanding, but not for everyone.......2002-05-15

If you like overproduced, commericial stuff, stay away. If you like lyrics worth listening to, set against some innovative (but not whacked out) musical arrangements, run out and buy this CD. It gets better each time you listen. A master performance.

Don't Know What You Were Listening To.......2001-03-02

I own three albums by Ronny Elliot and have seen him perform live. I think his albums are great and very well produced. The song "A Postcard From Jack" is killer. Who said Ron was country anyway. A unique talent in a cookie cutter world. Rock on Ron.

Outstanding...a real GEM.......2000-02-25

I can't believe anyone would have the audacity to berate this talented artist, no less spew venom that is completely misguided. This CD is a gem, full of great stories that are put together in a very understated way that is true Ronny (not Ron) Elliott, and put to music that is both enticing and interesting.

This guy is the definition of insurgent country, and this CD is all that and more.

Postcards from various locations.......2007-04-16

David Broza first came to my attention several years ago via his touring with Sting. I kept hearing raves about this singer that I had never heard before, and eventually found a copy of Broza's "Time Of Trains." I was mesmerized by this clearly talented man, who could pick a guitar like nobody's business and had such a beautifully husky voice. There were a few songs on that CD that have stayed with me, especially the title track, "Somebody Make Me Laugh" and "Blood For Blood."

Sadly, that CD did not bring about the American success it was aiming for. Around the world, however, Broza's mix of Hebrew, Spanish and English lyrics with a mix of musical styles has won him a steady audience for almost 30 years. "Painted Postcards" is his latest attempt at finding new listeners in America, combining songs from his albums "Second Street," "Time of Trains" "David Broza" and "Stone Doors." While each of these albums is a fine recording in its own light, they have often been released in America on smaller or labels now gone defunct.

Broza picked some of his favorite songs from both his English and Hebrew catalogs for this 2002 release on Rounder. While Broza writes most of the music himself, he searches for poets and lyricists the world over to either match his spirited music or to translate into Hebrew. If you're a fan of the Gypsy Kings, "It Is You" will warm your cold feet. His association with Sting seems to have influenced "If You Don't Kiss Me." Dire Straits and Eric Clapton are conjured up during "When I Didn't Have a Home." And personally, I have loved "Time Of Trains" since I first heard it in 1993. Broza's multi-cultural music is of a flavor that I wish more could get a taste of and, having been lucky enough to see him perform, experience first hand. "Painted Postcards" will help you take that first sampling.

First time buyer.......2003-03-07

Having never heard David Broza before, I am totally enthralled with this CD. The mix of hebrew and spainish influence creates an exotic combination. I think the guitar work is exceptional.

Nothing New.......2002-09-06

Disappointing. We were hoping for some new material from this fine artist. All he's done is signed on to a new label and re-issued songs, mostly off Stone Doors and the self titled David Broza, which we already have. Better to buy those two CDs because there are several great songs that couldn't be crammed on to one "best of" CD.

Midnight Oil's least successful experiment.......2005-04-14

Midnight Oil began as a surf-music-inpsired, politically-conscious hard rock band in the late 1970s. Their second album, HEAD INJURIES (1979), is one of the best hard rock albums to come out of Australia during that era (along with, yes, Acy Deecy's BACK IN BLACK). In the early 1980s, however, the band began experimenting with different sounds and different types of song structures. PLACE WITHOUT A POSTCARD is the first (and least successful) result of this change in direction.

The main problem with the album (as others have pointed out) is that the production is terrible. Midnight Oil travelled all the way over to Great Britain to work with Glyn Johns and ended up with this? The songs are, for the most part, pretty good. "Brave Faces," "Don't Wanna Be the One," "Lucky Country," and "Someone Else to Blame" are all potent political rockers just begging for better production. Other highlights include "Armistice Day," "Quinella Holiday," and "If Ned Kelly Were King."

The CD certainly anticipates the epic 10,9,8,7.... but it is hard to recommend it to anyone other than the most ardent Midnight Oil fan. It's better than the debut record and certainly has great potential, but they don't quite pull it off. It's kind of a bummer, because there is potential here for it to be a classic.

Decent album, but not essential.......2004-05-19

This album sounds about what you'd expect the band to sound like between the albums Head Injuries and 10-9-8-7. There are some good songs, notably Brave Faces, Burnie, Quinella Holiday, and Loves For Sale.

The main problem with this album is the production. This is probably the worse MO album from a production and mixing perspective. Even the preceding album, Head Injuries, sounds a lot better (more crystal clear), and also has better songs. If this album was remixed/remastered, it would be much more liked. Still, a stereo with an equalizer can make this album sound fairly good.

Although not an essential album for casual MO fans, this still belongs in all MO fanatic collections.

Great music produced by a deaf man!.......2004-05-08

In the Woody Allen film Hollywood Ending, Allen's character watches clips of a film he was shooting while he was suffering from temporary blindess. After it's over he says "Call Dr. Kevorchian! This movie looks like it was shot by a blind man!"

Place Without A Postcard sounds like an album that was produced by someone who had their ears full of cotton. Glyn Johns had always made music sound very fresh and clear in the past as with The Rolling Stones, The Who, and The Clash. But this time around, Midnight Oil sound like they were playing inside of a tin can.

This is a shame too because if you can actually get your ears past the muddy sounds, you can hear some good things going on. A song like Brave Faces stands out remarkably well in a live setting (see live album Scream In Blue) even if it is compositionally unconventional. The same can be said for Basement Flat; a very good song but it sounds like the beginning was recorded in a basement flat itself. Written In The Heart, Quinella Holiday and Loves On Sale all come at you with the energy of their sophomore album Head Injuries, but sound too tame to be taken seriously. Lucky Country keeps the tradition of the album up being a glorious sounding song but paired with the sonics that make it sound esoteric.

Coming after the crispness that makes Head Injuries an early Midnight Oil favorite, Place Without A Postcard comes across as a small letdown. But if the production job were better, I might even call this album underrated. Only then would you appreciate the anti-militantism of the single Armistice Day.

Simply put... Fantastic Album!.......2004-01-16

This and Breathe are the best two Midnight Oil albums. The songs are aggressive, yet somewhat elusive. When I listen to this disc, I'll find myself playing it over and over again. If you love Midnight Oil then you need this album!

Good but not their best.......2002-12-08

Before i got this album i was expecting something like 10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1. but i was disapointed.
The album is good but it displays little of what the oils are capable of, they dont really experiment with their music in this but i have to say Brave Faces,Burnie,Basement flat are all decent songs well worth listening to

Remarkably moving music.......2001-11-17

I had no idea what I was getting when I bought this CD; it has become one of my most listened-to albums. Arnold had a genius for romantic melody that moves the soul. I believe his fame will grow in the 21st century as the silliness of modern atonal music is forgotten and the eternal values of melody and beauty regain their place in western culture.
