Amazon.com's Best of 2000 Looking for a little adventure, electronica style? Try British duo Magnetophone's I Guess Sometimes I Need to Be Reminded of How Much You Love Me--a twisted, symphony of distorted bleeps, hypnotic drones, and melodic bloops. Matt Saunders and John Hanson have previously released seven-inches on the esteemed Earworm label; their music is atmospheric and textural, but made with a definite (if deeply submerged) pop sensibility. --Mike McGonigal Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsAn adventurous, but odd, release from the new 4AD Christopher Culver | 02/02/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "Magnetophone, one of 4AD's latest signings after the departure of label chief Ivo Watts-Russell, specialize in a low-key brand of sonic noodling. Their first full album, I GUESS SOMETIMES I NEED TO BE REMINDED OF HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME, is a unique achievement, but one that certainly wouldn't appeal to everyone.Eschewing traditional instruments in favour of all manner of old electronic equipment, Magnetophone produce a fuzzy, vocal-less noise pop that seeks to answer the question "What is music?" While many of the songs here are unlistenable, other tracks such as "Oh Darlin'" and "Milk of the Commander" capture the listener's attention well. The album is all the more enjoyable to long-time 4AD fans because some of the tracks, especially "Frankenholmes Drive," evoke memories of the "Early Works" of Warren Defever (His Name is Alive).I GUESS... is not for everyone. In fact, I suspect a lot of people will despair of 4AD because of it, but I'm glad to see a release this original. The album is all the more enjoyable because of the remarkable design by v23, which uses an envelope instead of a booklet in the CD case and whose back insert is only half-size." Not for everyone, but patience is rewarded Christopher Culver | 11/22/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "This CD will definitely not appeal to all, but it does something most music doesn't even try to do these days: experiment. Magnetophone are never going to fit in anywhere--neither as "electronica," nor as "avant-garde," but this bizarre exploration of the limits of what music can actually be is worth a listen. There's not much point, either, in comparing it to Aphex Twin, My Bloody Valentine with more keyboards, etc. 4AD took a real chance here, and continues a great tradition of signing superior instrumental acts." One of the 3 best albums of 2000 Gabriel V. Delsaz | Miami, FL USA | 01/28/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Magnetophone has to be the most underappreciated, underrated group making music today. Next to Grandaddy's "The Software Slump" and Doves' "Lost Souls" this stands as one of the 3 finest albums to come out this year. It genuinely pains me that such musical brilliance goes largely ignored and relegated to "quirky, left-of-center" status. In reality, this is a collection of 13 tracks which display a melodic genius on the part of their creators. It may sound like generic electronica to the casual listener, but listen for a few moments and you will hear brilliant, wonderful melodies played through avant-garde musical sensibilities. If you are musically adventurous and want to hear the best music of the last year, give this album a try."
