theQuote[1]="Simultaneously brooding, lush, aggressive and lyrical, this is a reclamation of pop and rock music at their most atmospheric and beguiling.";
theQuote[2]="Newman seems to have relocated the combination of sardonic intellectual wit and winning pop song craft that made Wire such an engaging (and influential) post punk prospect. *****";
theQuote[3]="Art Pop is a finely balanced record that seamlessly fuses familiarity and inventiveness.";
theQuote[4]="the band combine postmodern lyrics with snarling, melodic funk-grind to put the modern art back into Art Pop";
theQuote[5]="Another expertly skewed missive from a paralell pop dimension";
theQuote[6]="Profile is the album of the year so far. Genius.";
theQuote[7]="Arrangements that pit Newman and Rimbaud\'s guitars in combinations of jangly arpeggios, sheets of distortion, choppy rhythm licks and steely lead lines, all anchored by Spigel\'s loping Wobble-esque dub basslines and at times brutal drum-machine beats. The results cohere into a sonic juggernaut.";
theQuote[8]="What you get here though is a set of songs that simply demand to be played to death. And the more you play it, the more you love it! A great album.";
theQuote[9]="grounded in technological modernity, not the tired styles of yesteryear.";
theQuote[10]="Slyly subversive gems that reall Wire when they were edging into poppier territory.";
theQuote[11]="Gloriously demented";

theQuote[14]="With Art Pop the avant rock supergroup Githead finally delivers, in abundance, on the promise of 2005\'s Profile. *****";
theQuote[15]="Finally, Githead has made good on its promise with this essential release.";
theQuote[16]="Newman unblinkingly looking to the future and thinking at least two steps ahead of the rest of the musical world.";
theQuote[17]="Art Pop is arguably one of the best albums of 2007...";
theQuote[18]="Landing is unquestionably their most compelling album so far.";
theQuote[19]="The chemistry between Spigel's buoyant bass and Rimbaud and Newman's guitars is potent.";
theQuote[20]="Githead's new album is a Quietus favourite of 2009";
theQuote[21]="Githead's 3rd album finds them building on 2007's Art Pop to deliver another accomplished set of seductive, Krautrock-imbued art rock.";
theQuote[22]="Landing isn't just a good record, it's an exciting record.";
theQuote[23]="Few bands are able to wrap up such a complex enigma in such a beautiful, infectious package.";
