| 4.5 superb | North0House2 | July 23rd 14 |
This is nearly perfect, I'll probably bump it to a 5. I'm so glad I have a physical copy of this now. Hopefully I can share its brilliance with some friends.

A brilliant debut album by someone who sadly still remains pretty unknown, which is a complete shame because I find this is what Jeff Buckley would end up sounding like if he went insane and NASA decided to fire him into orbit for a week by himself with nothing but food, water and many instruments.
Also, it's nice to note that this album doesn't go in a single direction, it keeps a broad spread over electronica and the more conventional intstruments. Either way, it's beautiful...

| 4.5 superb | Iai EMERITUS | January 31st 08 |
Among the most stunning debut albums I've ever heard. Martin Grech came to the world's attention when the spectral piano ballad "Open Heart Zoo" found its way into a Lexus commercial, an exposure which earned him many, many comparisons to Radiohead. It's true, Ok Computer is a touchstone throughout Open Heart Zoo, but this is far from a Xerox. Grech moves from punishing industrial ("Dali"), to beautiful, almost Abba-esque ballads ("Only One Listening"), to futuristic, mechanical rock ("Here It Comes"), all while covering most bases between, and the end result is absolutely excellent. The man himself remains an outstanding talent to this day, but this is his masterpiece. It's likely to remain that way, too.
