Entertainment WeeklyAn excellent refresher course on Yoko Ono's endlessly underappreciated musical career. [9 Feb 2007, p.74]
-
UrbNone of the pairings are out of place. [Mar 2007, p.99]
-
Under The RadarA surprisingly well-tracked and well-produced compilation. [#16, p.94]
-
A good number of the cuts here take up the thread she's been working lately, adding factory-floor dance beats to old vocal tracks.
-
Highly recommended.
