 One of my all time favorites August 14, 2003

This cd never fails to pick me up when I've got da blues...The over-all feel is breezy and light yet the musicianship is excellent. Top notch sound quality. Most tracks are instrumental lounge which is fine, though I wouldn't mind hearing a few more vocal tracks sung by Miss Lily Banquette -chanteuse extrordinaire. The masterpiece, of course, is Morticia making fine use of the harpsicord and well placed 'la la la la's'. Alright already reminds me a little of the Odd Couple theme on tv, and Solid State sounds like a cocktail party on a satellite orbiting Mars. I think this is every bit as good as I Swinger and I can't understand why other reviewers think otherwise. I only wish it wasn't so short. Combustible Edison came out of the lounge resurgence of the mid-90's but there was something very original and creative about their music. Positive fun. Impossible world was released sometime in '98 and that's the last I've heard from them. To bad...I'd really like to hear more!
Well, I think this is a fantastic record June 10, 1999

Interesting that other people felt this was the inferior comed album. I think it's great - it has a fantastic, clean sound, with prominent electric harpsichord. It's a short (under half an hour, I think), addictive record. Particularly fantastic and catchy is 'Morticia', which I wish I was listening to right now. But they're all great. The two singles, Bluebeard and Short double Latte, are nice and wacky, but still very cool.Check them out live, too...

This was the first CE record I bought and I find it in many ways the best CE record. There are no weak tracks and the best ones are absolutely hilarious. Solid State and Short Double Latte are my favorites. If you want to travel back in time to the sunny days of your childhood or you want to get a glimpse of the carefree past or just happen to like the sweet nonsense of lounge music, I recommend this album.

This was Combustible Edison second or third album, depending on if you count the Four Rooms Soundtrack or not. It is somewhat of a disappointment. Not to say that it's bad. It's good, but not to the standards of their wonderful first album. Still, fans of the lounge music revival of the 1990s will probably enjoy it.
I love this CD! April 19, 2003
Malcolm Young (Minneapolis, MN United States)
This is the best Combustible Edison CD. "Solid State" is my favorite tune, a deliriously infectious song that I have loved since the first time that I heard it last November."52" and "Alright, Already" help make this one of the finest pop albums of all time.
