Synopsis

Album Description

WHAT IF THE BEATLES AND THE BEACH BOYS FOUND THEMSELVES IN A STUDIO TOGETHER? A "REVOLVER" MEETS "PET SOUNDS" EXPERIENCE! Imagine this if you will. You're offered the use of a time machine which not only can take you back in time, but also allows you to be invisible. Next, imagine you select a year in the 1960's and the place you chose to return to, a recording complex where in Studio One there's the Beatles, while at the same time down the hall in Studio Two Brian Wilson is putting the Beach Boys to work on his next creation. Then what if you were able to magically dissolve the hall that separated the two of them. What would you hear? "TIME MACHINE" This natural follow-up to the Vinyl Kings "A Little Trip", finds the group moving through even more familar musical terrains, while at the same time inviting the listener into the bands own particular realm, with music you didn't know existed anymore. Step into the "Time Machine" and press play today.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A terrific follow-up to "A Little Trip," "Time Machine" never fails to delight the listener with instantly memorable melodies and brilliantly considered arrangements. If you love The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Jellyfish, Fountains of Wayne, XTC -- and you know who you are -- it is inconceivable to me that you will not love Vinyl Kings. A splendid time is guaranteed for all!"

Something New for You

"Let's face it it seemed like the Vinyl Kings had painted themselves into a corner with their first album "A Little Trip" which evoked the Beatles with out copying them, a favorite CD of mine (thank goodness, if it was an LP I would have worn it out.

So here they are, having painted themselves in a corner so what do they do? They smash the window and take you out to the country and into new fields (and not all of them strawbery).

"A Little Trip" gets you into things quickly with the title song, you know where you are going. With "Time Machine" a few rides are needed to appreicate all that is going on around you. Ultimately I find it an album that has to be peeled back slowly to appreciate it all.

Like the Amazon review says there are a lot of different styles being thrown on the table, the Beatles are there long with the Beach Boys and some hints of the Kinks and the Who making it to the party.

You are going to have to buy a lot more CDs to find one as enjoyable as this one. So take a little trip in your time machine. You won't be sorry."
