  • Summary: Recorded at the same time and released on the same day, 'Aw C'Mon' and 'No, You C'Mon' are actually intended as separate albums, rather than two parts of a double album. The Nashville String Machine lends strings to each.

    As is the case whenever [Kurt] Wagner's velvet croon wraps itself around a night that ends so late it's already morning... there really isn't a critic in the world who can touch him. [combined review of both discs; Mar 2003, p.94]

    Judicious distillation might have provided sharper focus, but this is an appealingly ambitious sprawl. [combined review of both discs; 27 Feb 2004, p.99]

    AwCmon is the stronger of the two, with a trio of outstanding instrumentals acting as the backbone for a suite of typically moody songs.

    It's important to note that these albums were created as the soundtrack to the silent movie "Sunrise" directed by F.W. Murnau (Nosferatu). Wagner started an expiremental challenge to write a song a day, during which time he was asked to produce a new soundtrack for a rerelease of the film. So, to refer to the music as background music is quite accurate. I'm a fan of the band, so i'm biased, but thinking of the music of both albums in this context makes each album even enjoyable for me. It's great (but challenging) stuff.… Expand

    Almost impossible to catergorize it's so varied. Difficult enough deciding which disc you'd like to listen to first; even after you've made your decision you'll be sorely tempted to play the disc that's just finished again. Superb. … Expand

    Must admit I can't help but regard these two albums as one beautiful double player. Not normally what I would go for but an unexpected delight and my album of the year so far. Laid back, sometimes even ambient, yet rollocking in places, this was my most surprising discovery of 2004.… Expand
