Fourteen sweeping and competently arranged songs. <\/em>
(Vierzehn kompetent arrangierte und mitreissend gespielte Songs.)<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Angela Schader, Neue Z\u00fcrcher Zeitung (read<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether wacky funk, nostalgic rock’n’roll, psychedelic hippie rock or pathos-drenched country sound \u2014 the musical styles and arrangements are as diverse as Thomas Pynchon’s eight novels.
(Ob schr\u00e4ger Folk, nostalgischer Rock’n’Roll, psychedelischer Hippie-Rock oder pathosgetr\u00e4nkter Country-Sound \u2013 so verschieden wie Thomas Pynchons acht Romane sind hier Musikstile und Arrangements.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Bernhard Jugel, Bayerischer Rundfunk (listen<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Everybody\u2014<\/em> is an entertaining but also profound alternative journey through Pynchon’s work which brings both literary and musical pleasure.
(Die CD \u00abNow Everybody\u00bb ist eine unterhaltsame, aber auch tiefgr\u00fcndige alternative Reise durch Pynchons Werk, die sowohl literarisches wie musikalisches Vergn\u00fcgen bereitet.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Eric Facon, Schweizer Radio SRF 2 Kultur (listen<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This album lends the musical dimension of Pynchon’s works additional attention; it is like a trip out of the oeuvre in order to immerse oneself again with the proper rhythms.
(Diese Platte gibt der musikalischen Dimension in Pynchons Werken eine zus\u00e4tzliche Aufmerksamkeit, ist wie Ausflug aus dem Werk hinaus, um mit passenden Rhythmen darin wieder einzutauchen.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Thomas Hummitzsch, Intellectures (read<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic sounding Americana record, but one executed with great finesse, befitting of the material that inspired it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Eduard Banulescu, Alt77 music blog (review of “Middletown New York”<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This album is so good as a whole that one doesn’t need to be a Pynchon devotee to have a ball.
(Dieses Ganze ist so gut, dass man nicht zu den Pynchon-Verehrern geh\u00f6ren muss, um seinen Spass daran zu haben.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Oliver Camenzind, Loop Musikzeitung<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listeners from around the world<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

From now on, this is how Pynchon’s lyrics will sound when reading his novels, and this album is done with so much knowledge, care, and love for its material that there really couldn’t be a better soundtrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Sascha P\u00f6hlmann, author of Pynchon’s Postnational Imagination<\/em>, Munich, Germany<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At once surpassingly sweet and full of unhealthy mental excitement. The best version of the Yoyodyne anthem you’ll ever hear, and it just gets better from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Howard A. Rodman, Past President Writers Guild of America West, author of Destiny Express<\/em>, USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am absolutely delighted and especially touched by Lily\u2019s voicelet on the final track “Dream Tonight of Peacock Tails”: Thanks ever so much! I ordered two more copies for the Pynchonheads among my friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ulrich Blumenbach, translator of David Foster Wallace and Joshua Cohen, Basel, Switzerland<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My renewed attention through the album has informed my understanding of Pynchon, particularly the passages with animate objects. Though brief and humorous, apparently there is \u201ca soul in every stone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Penny Padgett Harper, Tualatin OR, USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I absolutely love<\/em> the CD. It’s been giving me chills. LOTs of great music in those 49 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mark Ouillette, Pittsfield MA, USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beautiful work. This was a particularly ambitious project from its conception, and I am thrilled with its execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Rob Malesko, Lansing MI, USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen up! Look up… that is a V2 of microbial dimensions and the spirit of a shape-shifter fluttering down to earth like a relic of designed obsolescence either CD or razor blade…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
