    This is true cosmic American music and possibly the best thing all concerned have ever done.

    The result is aural perfection. [Feb 2003, p.68]

    Overall, Loose Fur is kinda interesting, especially as a historical document, but it's not much more than that.

    Yes, good. Loose but good. Random noises coalesce into the catchiest of melodies.

    This is the type of thing that convinces you that these reviews, at least the ones by the 'professionals', can't be taken seriously. They are too wrapped up in trying to prove how hip they are to be able to discern talent or the lack thereof. They equate obscure with deserving of merit, failing to realize a good deal of obscure music is obscure for a reason. I mean, listen to this thing. It's sophomoric at best, self-infatuated meaningless and meandering noodling. And this gets scores in the 70's???!! Truly awful.… Expand
