    Lush and smooth, funky and ethereal, Celestial Electric is a sublimely down-tempo album filled with beautiful vocals and gorgeous orchestration. [#81, p. 52]

    An engaging blend of slinky Tropicalia, soulful Bacharachia, and enigmatic Euro-thriller themes.

    Every track sounds like you've heard it before. And LOVED it. A fabulous album for quality 70's and 80's pop lovers. Influences abound. Phoenix would be happy to follow up 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix' with an album as good as this. HIGHLY recommended.… Expand
