    Music:

    Captured a moment

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 1, 2003

    Starfish captured a dreamy, hazy moment near the end of the Eighties, fusing Television style guitar textures, REM style folk-punk pop, and 60s psychedelia (The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Nick Drake, etc.). Starfish combi...ned all of this with the minimalistic melodic atmospheres that U2 and Brian Eno laid claim to with Joshua Tree. Where U2 had the urgency of The Who, The Church had more of the meandering, childlike quality of Pink Floyd and Syd Barret. Every song on Starfish sounds inspired and well-crafted; and the whole is cohesive, even with three lead vocalists - a rare feat for most bands of the Eighties. The closing song, Hotel Womb, is a hazy Summer daydream of a song that suggested mysterious and fruitful things to come. What followed were only a few truly transcendant moments(Metropolis,Priest
    =Aura) but like Cocteau Twins, or The Cure, The Church seemed to fall out of step with the aggressive direction that alternative music took in the Early Nineties, and it caused them to lose their balance. However, with Hologram of Baal, they not only found their stride again, they also produced an album that was as beautiful and consistent as Starfish, and more effortless sounding.     Read more Less

    One of the BEST album in ROCK history!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 5, 2001

    I think it's one of the best rock album I've ever listened to. Especially if you like U2's "Unforgettable fire", "Joshua Tree",..etc. you will probably enjoy it!
    Damn, GOOD Music!!!!

    Pure, Subtle, Powerful, Geniuses

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 28, 2001

    Every track on Starfish can relate to a feeling an emotion or an event. From themesmerizing bass lines, to the hypnoticheart wrenching solos, to the extraordinary lyrics that allow you to use your imagination..."Under The Milky Way" was a hashish bar... in Amsterdam, "North,South,East and West" and "Destination" deal with the band traveling to Los Angeles and the reputation and anxiety L.A. can cause for first time visitors. "Reptile" is self explanatory and "Antenna" and "Spark" are two of their unsung masterpieces.This is music that is not made anymoreby a band so underrated that only the in-tuned listeners can understand. Buy it, play it on a cloudy, rainy day while you are cleaning or doing whatever. It will slither its way into your psyche a play rotation and you will wonder what happened to all the "bands" the weren't overproduced. Read more Less
