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

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

    "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.
