"I had never heard of Pineapple Thief (you probably haven't either) when I first heard Abducting the Unicorn. I really liked the first track, the second one I liked even more and when the cd was done I couldn't believe that I liked every track. I can't put this solely into the progressive rock catagory, or alternative either. They are likened to Radiohead, Porcupine Tree or Smashing Pumpkins. To me they have a sound of their own, great vocals, brilliant guitars, melodic yet complex but totally accessible. I would put my highest recommendation on this cd."

"These days, marketing seems to be the only way for success. We just wait for the music to come. We get blast over and over with the same songs on the radio and often I get fed up of songs that I liked at the beginning. I have decided to go to the music instead of waiting for it. Internet is my great tool. Pineapple thief as much more musical talent than marketing talent. Nobody knows them and trying to find their album is a tower of strenght. "Variation on a dream" WAS the hardiest one.Their style is more a hybrid between Porcupine tree, Smashing pumpkins, New order and Radiohead. What a great blend hein!I like every tracks on this album. Even the strange "Everyone must perish" a kind of Tebetian prayer. My favorites are "Private paradise", "Parted forever" and electronic "No one leaves this earth".Don't hesitate to buy"
