    Fantastic Beta Band-esque fun and weirdness. Almost as if they never left us.

    Why is this brilliance not in the mainstream? As with the beta band, if you don't get it, you're not really listening.

    "Black Gold" is a fine, fine record and undoubtedly the greatest thing he's ever done.

    Like the Betas' Heroes to Zeros, Black Gold isn't a flashy record.... But unlike Heroes to Zeros, Black Gold sounds agreeably homespun.
