TI99/4a ... Not a toy
author: Jared (Nebulous) Brookes
This album is a work of genius. It\'s not often that I have the pleasure of happening across an album that is perfectly resolved. However, this one is. Everything is in the right place, in the right quantities, and with the right feel and intent. In other words, Jon Ryman got it right -- all of it. I highly recommend this CD. Do yourself a favour and order this one.

My Review
author: Jodie McViegh
This starts off with a classical sounding intro before launching into a real synth-pop gem \"Humanized\" (my favorite) and takes you on a trip into some really cool electronica. This doesn\'t come across as just layers of sound but well thought songwriting. The vocals are really melodic...kinda Roxy-music meets Bowie-esque...the
\"machine\" vocals are a pleasant suprise when they arrive and all in all one of the most original electronica CD\'s I have heard in a long time.

this is like a summary of all thats exciting about electronic music. i really like the melodies and it seems to flow really well. I kind of remember the novel from high school days but it seems to be more about a fictional world than a real one. I have never heard of this guy before but apparently he's been around a while. I love it when i can find something like this which feels like i might still be listening in 5 years time. Cool CD.
