簡介。。。。。。

Fans of Slowdive and Mojave 3 have been pining for a Rachel Goswell album for years. Although 4AD billed Waves Are Universal as sounding like something you wouldn't expect from her, it actually sounds almost exactly like you thought it would, provided you've heard a Mojave 3 song at some point during the previous eight years. The British folk elements that have been slowly coming to the fore in the Mojave 3 records are more of a factor here. Otherwise, it's a fusion of British folk and alt-country -- which, to be more forward, means it could pass for a Mojave 3 record made while primary songwriter Neil Halstead was too busy hanging ten. This, for the most part, is a good thing, but the record is rather safe, lacking an adventurousness that is only touched upon and possibly kept under wraps for the sake of not seeming like too much of a departure. Field recordings that are incorporated into the songs are very discreet, and a couple other tunes wouldn't be out of place in commercials plugging some mature teenage drama on the WB. Regardless, Waves Are Universal proves that Goswell can carry a whole record on her own without any trouble. A second solo album -- with more risks taken -- is a necessary thing.(from AMG)

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。評價指數：8.2/10

4AD真是個獨立女聲基地，擁有一大批聲音好聽的美女。Rachel Goswell係slowdive和mojave 3的成員，長得優雅漂亮，聲音柔美，所以我覺得她更適合唱一些輕柔、緩慢，像Gather Me Up、Beautiful Feeling、Thru The Dawn這類的歌曲。加上純淨的吉他演奏，這是一道陽光普照下亮麗美好的風景綫。好似行走花叢中，心情愉悅又平和的感覺。還有Warm Summer Sun、Plucked也是不錯的歌曲。另外，封面真的好漂亮，4AD的片片就是有品質。
