The Sails
The Sails
Rainbow Quartz, 2006
The Byrds, the BEA-tles, and maybe the Monkees, (not)
I purchased this CD after I read a review and listened to the song clips here on Amazon. I have always been a big fan of power pop, sunshine pop, and anything that tries to copy or imitate the Beatles. Well, the SAILS do a pretty decent job of all three things!

Wondermints
Big Deal Records, 1996
Brilliant
When I told Jeff Foskett that "Thru My Window" was the best Brian Wilson tribute ever, I hadn't yet heard "Tracy Hide". It's like listening to Brian's "Wonderful" after huffing ether. That's meant as a compliment, and this album is a complement to both Pet Sounds and ...

Late Music
Dennis Diken with Bell Sound
Cryptovision, 2009
OK, put Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, and Dennis Wilson into a blender ...
... oh come on, you know the rest .... short version is "out comes Dennis Diken".
The walking pop-music-encyclopedia (he wrote some of the best liner notes for his band, the Smithereens, and many others) delivers a top-notch solo effort. While there's only a touch ...

Bali
Wondermints
Varese Sarabande, 2000
Creativity and Listenability at it's Best
I've long been of the opinion that a truly magical recording just begs to be played again and again. "Bali' is such an album. Make no mistake, this is high art. I find Wondermint's sound to be SO refreshing and unique among the mass of noise out there. I confess to ...

She's About To Cross My Mind
The Red Button
Grimble, 2007
The PERFECT Pop Album!
I may be biased as Mr. Swirsky is on my MySpace Community and I also bumped into him during the Summer of 2006's Beatles' Fest for Fans in Vegas... But all that aside; this is a MUST HAVE if you love the British Invasion... Trust me... well, read the other reviews... ...

Lost Winter's Dream
Lisa Mychols
Rev-Ola, 2004
Magic starry sounds
I've followed the Wondermints (and met 'em a few times), ever since they played my friend Scott B's birthday party about 10 years ago. And of course, now Darian, Nick, and Probyn are part of Brian Wilson's "Smile," one of the most anticipated (and long lost) albums in ...

please don't buy used copies of my CD
Hi folks - this is Carolyn Edwards. I want to ask anyone who's interested in buying my CD to please buy a new copy, directly from Amazon, instead of a used or "new" copy from one of the many vendors who have it listed on here for less. As you probably know, artists on ...

Kaleidoscopin': Exploring Prisms of the Past

NOW SOUNDS, 2009
Exploring Prisms of Wondermints' Past
Back in the mid to late 1990s in Los Angeles, there was a small cadre of bands and musicians who specialized in an underground pop music style that not only borrowed from the 1960s and `70s but also made those influences fresh. Among those bands were Baby Lemonade, The ...

A "wonder" to hear
Whenever this EP is out, I strongly would buy this if you are a hardcore Wondermints fan or just getting into them or if you are a serious lover of power pop. The tracks on here are lovely, "Reality Check" is worth the CD. The beer ad song is hilarious and those beer ...
