The album certainly isn't a waste of your money if you aren't already a fan. This is one band that clearly doesn't save their lesser material for obscure release. Lost Marbles and Exploding Evidence functions very, very well as a weird little LP.
-
Actually one of the band's most enjoyable releases.
-
If there’s one thing this collection illustrates it’s that throughout that time they’ve maintained a high level of quality.
-
It jumps from light pop to disco funk to noise samples without ever sacrificing melody for the sake of overindulgence.
-
Can't remember many bands whose B-sides/rarities comp things I liked as much as their full-lengths, but here's one.
-
Lost Marbles is no more inconsistent than most respectable bands’ A-side albums, and attains greater brilliance on a number of occasions than they could ever hope for.
-
MojoA veritable treasure trove of electro-bubblegum, irresistible punk-funk, and hypnotic noise experiments. [Mar 2005, p.116]
-
Under The RadarAn excellent compilation if you're an adoring Enon fan. [#9]
-
Entertainment WeeklyAs erratic as the band itself. [4 Mar 2005, p.73]
-
Taken on their own, songs like "The Nightmare of Atomic Men," "Drowning Appointments" and "Kanon" are all fine, but when there's no change of pace, it's easy to realize that the charm of Enon is that they do a lot of things pretty well, not one thing really well.
-
Fans might enjoy the history lesson, while non-fans are probably better off waiting for the next full-length.
-
It's a joy to listen to but tough to recommend.
-
It's not bad; it just feels like a stopgap to hold fans over until Enon has recorded enough material for a new release.
